Great job Bush.
The Bass sound is really realistic we can hear the slap or rounded sound or fret noise when it should be !
Really nice.
The piece remind me some pieces from Hatfield at the north or National Health bands.

Song 1:
Very beautiful song, it even has a lot of Queen elements it and beautiful video too. Also very nice vocals.

Song 2:
Very different than the previous ... nice vocals too and I love the pads in this song (rest too, but the pads really stand out).
I see three people, wondering which parts are not from Kronos.

Song 3:
Another very different song, you are very versatile.

I don't know which I liked better of these three, they are too different to compare, but I like them all a lot.

I've written/performed a few instrumental pieces on the Kronos already... here's 6 of them:

"Harmony" (dual pianos: German + Japanese Grands):

"Sultry" (based on IntC063 "Mountain Voices" + German Grand):

"Tranquility" (based on IntC045 "Metal Blimp Blues" + German Grand):

"Remember" (duals pianos + Nylon Guitar):

"Whisper" (solo German Grand):

"Sparkle" (based on Combi A024 "Fading Shadows" + Piano + Wavedrum... it was more of a test than a real composition... people either love this or hate it):
www.youtube.com/watch?v=mkcvD80v_fo

I already have given reactions to most of the videos.

Some have some (probably human) 'quantization' problems, but overall they are very beautiful and nicely composed arranged, and the videos are a very good demonstration of how you play it and very nice to see.
I like these a lot better than the overproduced songs which are some people produce (not here but in general pop music).

You can see you like playing (and probably love the Kronos a lot).

Here's a few that I've been working on. They are pretty much sketches, not complete.

Pop Jazz

Creature Comforts

Troubled Sleep

Everything is Kronos except the flute in Troubled Sleep.

Busch.

Song 1:
I like the pop jazz, I almost never hear such music and it's quite interesting.

Song 2:
I love the dynamics you put into the music, it sounds really natural.
(I love the fretless bass).

Song 3:
I also like this song. I would have expected the flute to be quite different than the Kronos, but it really blends in very well. This means the Kronos can be very good for being mixed with other (live) instruments.

If you call this sketches, I'm wonder how good your final songs sound.

Thank you man for your nice comments! Im a HUGE queen fan therefore i made that tribute song to Freddie Mercury who totally deserves it and much more.

Yes song nr 2, Forgotten one , its all Kronos except the guitar which is a real one. Glad you like them, i like to do many different types of songs so its not just limited to one type of genre.

We made this band cause we got so fed up with the music in the mainstream , its so unoriginal and fake, it makes me mad that REAL musicians gets pushed aside so these socalled artists can take the spotlight. Its really messed up....

Here is a new track. Rough first mix. All Kronos plus electric guitars.

Damn I hate the compression soundcloud adds when uploading...but its pretty good. Sounds SO much better in high fidelity.

Nice job! What is the guitar running through? What is that square wave sounding synth at the beginning? Is that the Jupiter?

RonF · Post by **RonF** » Sun Oct 23, 2011 7:27 am

Thanks aron! Guitar is run through an Axe FX Ultra for its tube emulation and distortion/overdrive. Delay and modulation effects are Kronos.

Square wave sound (good ear!) is Kronos....but controlled using a guitar to midi convertor, which gives it that expressive quality.

>but controlled using a guitar to midi convertor, which gives it that expressive quality.

Woah, great job!!!!! I thought I detected something different, but I couldn't figure it out. In the end, I figured it was the Jupiter because it didn't have a typical static sound. I would think the Jupiter would have a fantastic sound similar to that sound - but maybe more "acoustic" in nature. Don't get me wrong, it sounds great the way you have it.

> Axe FX Ultra for its tube emulation and distortion/overdrive

I heard about that. Nice sound. Nice performance!!!!

I would love to hear the Kronos and the Jupiter together - also being controlled by your MIDI guitar. That must be a nice combination!

Thank you again, my friend. Check this tune out: http://soundcloud.com/ronf-3/03-track-03

Mostlly JP80 (pads, arps, percussion, strings, synths), with Kronos touches (main riff, piano strike effects, strings). No midi guitar on this one....I just got that idea on the other song! It worked better than I expected...LOL.

runningman67 · Post by **runningman67** » Sun Oct 23, 2011 7:45 am

Nice work Ron.
What's the patch from 2:18 to the end. Love it. Jp 80 or kronos?

RonF · Post by **RonF** » Sun Oct 23, 2011 7:49 am

Thank you rm67! You hear a JP80 syn pad, a JP80 syn bass pad, Kronos high pitched synth effects, and a highly diffused electric guitar lick run though long reverb tail with the mix almost completely wet.

aron · Post by **aron** » Sun Oct 23, 2011 7:58 am

Nice work! I like it. You can really hear the fidelity of these keyboards. Sounds like you are keeping busy with those instruments!!!!

Mercuryyyy · Post by **Mercuryyyy** » Sun Oct 23, 2011 11:08 am

RonF: I like it man, very 80s in a way and thats a GOOD thing. It has a nice beat and is pleasant to listen to. Keep it up. So far everybody on here writes good REAL music. Glad to see that there are still real musicians out there in these horrible times in the music industry..
