I'm not sure if this is the right place on the forum so if not please move it.

Over the past few months I've been working out some of my favourite oldschool piano lines, I've then recorded them to MIDI, layered, quantized, EQ's and detuned as needed. I've done a screen recording showing the piano roll with the MIDI notes in case anyone wants to know how to play them.

These are all done by ear so might not be 100% but are pretty close imo. Also, some sound quite different when there's no other instruments, in particular the strings which often add a different tone. I'm particularly proud of Piano Progression (Obsession), Code Red (S.E. Mix) and Revolution Pt2.

This is awesome, man!

"Piano progression" is truly an achievement!

I've picked out a few myself throughout the years. They've served as starting points for my own productions. (A lot to be learned from the process)

Again, great job! :)

PS: The korg m1 vst is truly a Godsend, isn?t it?

;)

So many good ones. Too many to single out! Well done! Which one were you most pleased with?

I barely use the Korg M1 since picking up the Korg Triton. It's better than the M1 IMO.

Thanks very much. I'm only scratching the surface with production, done a couple of tracks (none hardcore) but wish I had time to look at it more seriously. Do you have a link to any of your stuff?

I love the M1, so many iconic sounds

As per my original post Piano Progression, Code Red S.E. Mix and Revolution. I really love the chords in Devotion remix too, Demo went through a purple patch with the Vital Elements style stuff (and the similar sounding releases on Quosh and UDE)

I haven't tried, doesn't sound too tricky but then I thought that with "I've got the Music" and that's stumped me so far.

Oops, my bad! Overlooked that.

Piano Progression is a triumph! Phantasm and So In Love are up there, too!

This is the kind of stuff I know.

Disclaimer: I do not consider myself a pianist. Just a meat and potatoes keyboard player (and even that might be overstating it!). lol!

:)

Very nicely done. I'd forgotten about Follow Me, great track that, obviously using the JJ Tribute piano in a different key

Not sure if Return to elysium is classed as Happy hardcore, but here is the piano midi for it. I made this ages ago, but seeing this thread I thought I would put it here for people to have a look at it in midi form.

Its pretty much bang on , I used the Korg m1 house piano preset and played it along with the actual track for note reference.

Compared to the original elysium piano midi this one is a bit more complicated.

Yes this is great, you've put alot of effort into this. Some of my favourite piano riffs in this and some of these tracks I haven't heard before.

Force & The Evolution - Perfect Dreams (S.E remix) who is S.E? It does sound a little like Force & Styles sound.
