Mental Theo has a JD-990 in his studio in 2018 so I think you are right about the bassline preset :-) See this video: ruclips.net/video/7KiUcTStWuo/видео.html at time 2:40.
@@DuckTronic I saw you are from Germany, so maybe you can understand a little bit of the Dutch videos? There is another great video where a radio DJ interviews Charly Lownoise and Mental Theo and deconstructs Wonderful(l) Days. There they show the DJ the Korg 01/W, from which they used a preset also, so I think you are right about that one too :-) ruclips.net/video/I6QXDAFrN-s/видео.html
@@DuckTronic Did you know Tokyo Ghetto Pussy (=Jam & Spoon) did only use the Quasimidi TechnoX for I Kiss Your Lips according the maxi CD booklet? Maybe it is nice to deconstruct that one too. I should not be all to hard, because I think it is all presets they used. That bass drum is sooo recognizable :-)
Yes, I've seen that video before. Very interesting. I also thought after the video that the strings are from the 01/W, but in direct comparison they sound exactly like the strings from the JD-990. Charly had 3 of them in the studio at the time.
I know the song, of course (I Kiss Your Lips). Very interesting. Unfortunately I don't have a TechnoX, but I would like to. Thanks for the info!

Leute, ich kriege den Mund nicht mehr zu. Ich habe die Vinyl-Maxi seit über 25 Jahren im Schrank aber nicht gewusst, wie genau und genial dieser Song zusammen gebaut wurde. Toll nachgebaut und nahezu jedes Detail stimmt. Ich habe das auch einmal probiert mit "Brainchild" von Nostrum aber nicht annähernd so ein Ergebnis hinbekommen. Chapeau, meinen größten Respekt für dieses Ergebnis! Beste Grüße, Chris
@@DuckTronic Ja, das meine ich auch. Welche Instrumente für Brainchild genau verwendet wurden, konnte ich nicht ermitteln. Fest stehen für mich die 909 und 303, welche der Korg verwendet wurden, kann ich nicht sagen. Vielleicht kommst Du da ja weiter als ich damals. Ich hatte damals eine Wavestation, JD-800, Emu E-IV Sampler und Juno 106 zur Verfügung. Das klang natürlich nicht so, wie das Original seinerzeit. Ist ja vielleicht auch mal ein interessantes Projekt für Dich. Gruß, Chris.
the original sample from the vocals killed me for a second. i dont know why i missed to know this for so long. thanks for sharing the genius reverse engineered masterpiece! i like it a lot!
This is too good. only the vocal sample is already master. I wonder how you can make the sound without having the instrument and even if you did have it. Thank you very much ,every Friday a beautiful gift is great. I really appreciate it
A friend (Accentbuster, who owns the Quasar) sent me the effects as a wave file. And Charly Lownoise also gave me some tips. Unfortunately he didn't know everything anymore, it's been a while 😅
it may be possible to use phase inversion/cancelation to strip out the unwanted elements. E.G. (in Ableton Live) take 3 identical & un-warped copies of the same audio on separate channels, keep one as your 'normal', hard Pan the others Left & Right, and use a Unison effect on each to change the phase 180degrees. if you then resample the output into a 4th audio channel, you should be left with whatever is in the 'centre' of the mix - usually the vocal. you can then repeat this using the isolated vocal against a non panned original to strip the vocal out.
Nice anecdote: The guys misspelled Wonderful as Wonderfull on the record sleeve (check it at 8 seconds in). When asked about it after the printing, they bluffed: "no , it's supposed to be written like that!"...
Yes, they talk about it in the Bart Classics interview. And a photo for the cover was chosen shortly. Well, nobody could have guessed how successful it would be. Is it still the Dutch national anthem? 😜
Mental & Lownoise became famous in Parkzicht/Rotterdam, aswell DJ Rob & Paul Elstak, i remember when Elstak went commercial, the Gabber fans trashed his car on the parking lot, untill it was total loss, You should've seen his face in the morning. Good times 😊
You’re correct. Shortly after releasing Wonderful Days they got in a conflict with the original artist over the sample. They were forced to re-record the song using a different singer. So the videoclip-version of Wonderful days is a different version than the single-version.
Great recreation, Sir. My hat is off. I sincerely think you nailed the original. Its so good, I can't distinguish yours from the original! But, how about you nail Delacy, Hide away, and the synth from Jx there's nothing I want do? I'm very near buying a roland tr 03 and 09. Need to find a suitable hobby. Just jam around on the copies of the original instruments. For the fun of it!
Thanks! Even though I'm more of a Roland fan, I would rather recommend the Behringer devices or other clones. The TB-03 may still work, but the TR-09 without individual outputs doesn't work for me at all. For me, the devices are too small and unusable.
Excellent work! :) Your ears are way better than mine, I can not make out half of the bell sounds from the original at all! I remember this from my childhood. It was on one of my cassettes. Growing up I have also played a remix version of this in a small club, just don't know by who. It sounded just like Starsplash - Free. (could be the same producer?) :)
@@DuckTronic OMG, more memories! Yes! :) Thanks! I love that kind of kick and bass! Also, the original (laser) kick sounds like a self-oscillating filter sweep. Can be done with a sine wave too with a pitch envelope. (I would retrig the oscillator every time to avoid uneven transient clicks and pops due to the oscillator start phase)
Das Tutorial ist der Hammer!!! Der Track ist sowieso eine Legende - Deine Arbeit aber auch. Bin gespannt, was als näcgstes kommt und wie Du das noch mal toppen willst. 😉
Vielen Dank! Ich hatte schon vor vielen Jahren immer mal wieder einzelne Sachen aus dem Track nachgebaut. Irgendwann hatte ich dann so ziemlich alle Sounds zusammen und es hat für ein Video gereicht. 🙂
Wow, einfach nur wow! Das war meine 1. Maxi CD, habe sie damals mit stolz aus dem Laden getragen, mit meiner Mama zusammen :-D Mega gut gemacht, Respekt dafür und danke für deine Arbeit :)
Again, nice one! :) There is a Dutch short episode of the radiostation NPO Radio 2 which is called Bart's Classics with Charlie Lownoise and Mental Theo talking about this song and some of the gear which is used on this track
Wow! Supercool! =D Nicely done. Congrats! Cheers. :) The comment is short because I'm speechless. :D BTW. I didn't know the original song used for the vocals, it's a nice song too. :)

Wie geil ist das denn?!👍🎶 Mir fehlen zwar die Gerätschaften um das nachzubauen, aber allein zu erfahren wie der Track aufgebaut wurde, ist mega interessant! Falls Du noch einmal einen Track von Emmanuel Top analysieren magst, würde mich übrigens das 303 Pattern von "Stress" interessieren. 💥💫😉

This is fantastic. Who would have thought that drum n bass was around in 1969.
Great and funny 😅
whooow hombre....fantastico... please in the name of god, PLEASE do reverse engineering in the Joey Beltram famous ENERGY FLASH..... tanks in advance
Thank you Juan! 🙂 "Energy Flash" is too complicated, unfortunately I can't recreate that.

What a gumb music is the original for my taste. Not worth it for rehashing at all. But the recreation process is amazing as always.
Haha.. Thanks a lot! So when the song came out it was one of my favorites. 😅
