Thank you : ) Unfortunately it is going to be difficult to change my setup and re-record the whole song from a different angle, but I might be able to send you the parts that you like the most separately on facebook if you wish. I hope that would be helpful.

Thanks, glad you liked it : )

De fato, concordo!! Thank you for your comment, glad you liked it : )

I am using Krome but definitely Kronos has the same or better sounds. Generally I never use factory sounds as they are not identical to the original sounds used in the album so I try to modify the existing sounds to get what I need for my covers.

Yea indeed Nightwish songs are great. Generally I learned music theories by researching online, while I learned the specific songs that I have posted either by listening to the original song and researching online or through music sheets. I have been playing music since 2012 but unfortunately I didn't get the chance or the tools to practice regularly. My recommendation might not suit your music taste, I suggest you to learn your favorite songs to enjoy the process of learning. Well I don't use a specific website for music sheets I just search for it if it is needed for a specific part of the song, and some of the music sheets are not available online for free. So I suggest to find your favorite songs on RUclips and start learning by simply watching the video. There are a lot of people who post cover songs on RUclips while they are playing the same song differently. To start I think you know your capabilities more than anyone else so try to select the version which suit you better and is easier to play (I think you can identify that by watching how frequent and how fast they move their finger on the keyboard). In the long run as you continue playing and improving your skills, try to accept challenges by selecting the more difficult and more professional way of playing your favorite songs which are available on RUclips and that's how you will improve your skills and techniques gradually while you are enjoying the process of playing your favorite songs. I will definitely check out your videos if you are going to post music covers : ) Glad you liked my cover and thank you for your comment : )

Same here it is one of my favorite Symphony X songs! Unfortunately I don't have its music sheet Thank you @alger277, glad you liked it : )

Congratulations! Yes of course you can : )

​@@Alex-BH Thank you! 😊

​@@Alex-BHCan i ask that which voice do you use? 😁

​@@marktoth4854 For each part I used multiple layered combination of sounds with lots of detailed sound adjust (i.e. tone adjust, zone/delay, Timbre/param, MIDI filter, IFX, MFX, LFO and TFX) to be able to get the exact or at least close to the original sounds. The following are a simplified sound sequences for this song and in case you don't have a certain sound in a patch you can use only one element of that patch and play the song (for example the "first patch" if you don't have that many sounds and you can't adjust it to exactly sound as the original sound, you can only use piano sound or bell sound). First patch: 00:17-00:31: Left hand: Piano + soft vocal + Deep Vox sound + String Pad Right hand: Piano + Soft bell Second patch: 00:32-00:50: 5 different types of strings + Vocal sound Third patch: 00:51-01:20: Slow synth + Vox sound + String Pad Second patch: 01:28-01:50: 5 different types of strings + Vocal sound Third patch: 01:51-02:05: Slow synth + Vox sound + String Pad Second patch: 02:13-02:50: 5 different types of strings + Vocal sound Second patch: 02:58-03:13: 5 different types of strings + Vocal sound First patch: 03:14-03:27: Left hand: Piano + soft vocal + Deep Vox sound + String Pad Right hand: Piano + Soft bell Second patch: 03:28-04:06: 5 different types of strings + Vocal sound I hope that was helpful : ) Thanks for your comment!

@@Alex-BH Youre amazing! ❤️🙏🏻

Thank you, glad you liked it : )

Hi Dear, the following are the sequence (I have listed all patches including strings): First patch: 00:07-00:21: Strings pad + Symphonic bows 00:31-01:05: Strings pad only (Symphonic bows muted) 01:07-01:30: Strings pad + Symphonic bows 01:31-01:54: Strings pad only (Symphonic bows muted) 01:55-02:18: Strings pad + Symphonic bows Second patch: 02:22-02:34: Classical Choir + Medium pipe organ + Electric church organ + Voices First patch: 02:40-02:45: Strings pad only (Symphonic bows muted) Second patch: 02:47-02:58: Classical Choir + Medium pipe organ + Electric church organ + Voices Third patch: 02:59-03:10: Synth Forth patch: 03:11-03:22: another type of faded Voices + Synth motion (Vox) First patch: 03:24-03:48: Strings pad + Symphonic bows 03:58-04:10: Strings pad + Symphonic bows As you noticed sometimes I am using the same patch but muting one of the layers but the key is not only layering sounds for each patch but to adjust it according to your need, also adding some IFX, MFX and TFX such as (Chorus, Delay, Reverb, Graphic, Parametric etc...) will help you to get the sounds you need. I hope that was helpful : ) Thanks for your comment!

@@Alex-BH You are awesome.... thank you so much 🙏

Unfortunately I deleted the isolated tracks I had for my covers : ( I will keep that in mind for the future requests

Thanks @crazyvinz glad you liked it : )

I didn't use any plugins, I usually select a sound from my keyboard and then I start editing it with the functions available in the keyboard without using any external devices. If you have Korg Krome I can help you with the sound edit pages for any specific sound in my videos. In case you have any other keyboards, I suggest you check online resources in which you can get how to edit sounds for a specific keyboard you have and in the process you might find ready sounds available in some websites that you can use it or build on it to get your intended sounds.

@@Alex-BH Wow, you really put a ton of dedication and effort onto this! Unfortunately I don't have a Korg Kronos, I just have a MIDI keyboard (Novation Launchkey 61 Mk3) which isn't much useful when it comes to this in my opinion, I hope to find some softwares or VSTs that can make sounds like that hopefully Thank you so much for your reply I really appreciate it

@@wahidzaman5945 Perfect!! Glad you liked my sounds, thanks for your comment and wish you the best of luck : )

Thanks Abhigyan!! appreciate your comment a lot : )

@@Alex-BH Just a question , did you figure it all out by ear?

@@abhigyankaushik1328 not all of it but only some parts, I usually get a music sheet and then for those parts which are kinda different from the album record I figure it out by ear... But I think this song was quite simple in term of structure and technicality in comparison to Dream Theater and Symphony X songs and I could figure it all out by ear without using a music sheet

​@Alex-BH great explanation!!!

I just programmed all the sounds and tried to make it as identical as possible to the original sounds : )

@@Alex-BH can you share them with me pal

@@johnhughes4839 Yea sure but as it is complicated, please contact me on Facebook to explain it in details

@@Alex-BH how can I find u pal

@@Alex-BHhow can I find you on Facebook

I am not using a specific sound pack which is available for sale on the internet and I am not even sure if there is a pack ready out there to buy. I just programmed all the sounds and tried to make it as identical as possible to the original sounds. Well it is a bit complicated to list them here because this song consist of 20 combinations and each combination consist of 6+ sounds on average which you need to adjust each sound individually. Direct message me on Facebook to list for you all the sounds which are included in each combination (however keep in mind that each sound in a combination have different setup in term of tone adjust, zone/delay, Timbre/param, MIDI filter, IFX, MFX and TFX which you might need to tweak to get the perfect combinations) I hope that will help : )

@@Alex-BH What method did you used for setting your sounds in order and change with the footswitch? I think there's 2 or 3 different ways to do it in Korg

@@Izoka85 Yea exactly, I start by programming all sounds in combination mode, then sequence the patches according to the song and then just switch the patches by stepping on the pedal which is Jordan Rudess way of switching sounds.

Yea so what I play is actually recorded live while I'm shooting the video. To be precise: I have recorded the keyboard part of the song (along with the video) then added the backing track to what I have recorded then edited the video for RUclips. The editing part is only limited to the visual effects like fade in and fade out of the video, name of the song and picture of the album.

@@mattildahubbardo Yea I invest so much of my time programming the sounds I believe that a decent Input will result in a decent output \m/ Glad you liked it \m/

Ali Abdulghaffar you can really tell! loved it

All patches are custom except for the little piano part in the middle. I rarely use original Krome patches in my videos. Always there are some modifications needed to get the sounds as close as possible to the original song. Here is what I usually do for each sound in the combination: 1- Search for the closest combination sound 2- Adjust/Add/Remove sounds within the combination 3- Adjust Timbre para (ex: pitch) 4- Adjust the zone 5- Adjust/Add/Remove IFX, MFX, and TFX 6- Adjust the tone Congratulations, you will definitely enjoy it Let me know if you need detailed explanation for each patch, I can tell you which sounds i have combined for my patches. However from step 3 to step 6 is a bit challenging to go in details as Krome has lots of functions for sound adjust and some patches contains over 5 sounds. Thanks Philippe and good luck : )

@@Alex-BH thanks so much for your answer !!! I ll receive my Krome Tomorrow. I know we Can buy a lot a pack of sounds on internet but your patch sounds great. I ll try myselsef first . Maybe i ll Come back with you for a liitle help ! Thanks you !!
