Orion - Metallica Synth Cover
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 мар 2022
- I was noodling around one day and stumbled on one of the main Orion riffs, decided that it might make a good synth cover. Everything is sequenced via Ableton Live, a lot of midi recording and and editing of my sloppy playing.
A lot of modular gear in use here, Basimilus Iteritas Alter doing the simple deep bass line. Cursus Iteritas doing its thing, system 100 & System 55 backing layers for a few things here and there. 2500 & 2600 doing lead work as well as backing. Pro 3 & Hydrasynth doing the pads. Some stabby bits by the Deepmind 12. Analog Rytm providing drums, using it's internal drum synth & LinnDrum samples in combo.

Imagine an alternative reality where Cliff Burton became Wendy Carlos' apprentice in 1982, instead of joining Metallica...
Wendy Burton creating the music for "And Oranges for All"
imagine cliff doing sinthwave music instead
How on earth a plane cockpit with tangled wires can render an entire composition is beyond my grasp, but the result is freaking awesome. Good job Master of blinking knobs!
Ok so its basically a bunch of different voltage controlled circuits (as amplifiers, oscillators, phasers, etc.) you get a sound by combining a circuit with other (with the cables) and you shape the sound controlling the voltage with the potentiometers. Those plane cockpits are responsible of the whole electronic music born and most of this circuits were made to color different instruments, and ngl those things are orgasmic to work in if you like gear minimally, they give infinite posibilities
I don't know about the cockpit, but it certainly reminds me of what I saw in an AWACS jet years ago. Only the wires and cables were behind/under the consoles. 😀
analogue sintethiser . very powerfulll sound easpecialy for your composed midi files
Watch astaunished as the blinkenlights
1.25x It's incredible!
I agree, after i speed it up to 1.25 enjoy was at maximum. :)
Nice call, it IS good. Certain segments would sample well for a dance progression.
exactly its too slow
Yep lol I had to up the tempo too. Nice u guys heard it too =)
YES! 1.25 speed is just about the right BPM for this - except, back to 1x for the slower bridge/solo, until the riff kicks back in
Around 1996 I was handed a FastTracker 2 xm file entitled Metallica Orion - which was almost a synth version of this song. I got obsessed with it to the point I picked up the guitar, learnt music production and playing it ever since. The power of one song. Thanks for the flashback!
YES!!! This is fucking amazing! You captured everything perfectly...I hope this somehow makes its way to the fellas. Excellent!
Ah thanks man... I appreciate that
I was working on an Orion synth cover a year ago that was more focused around the mellow bridge part, but I never got around to finishing it.
Your cover popped up in my recommended feed just now and i love it! It's inspired me to revisit mine.
You should finish it. This was a challenge for me and I struggled with it but I felt so good after it was finished.
Holy shyt. The genius behind this deserves millionssss of views.
I shall play this everytime I walk somewhere. I will walk in slow motion, my hood up and head down. Instantly I will be much cooler, or weirder because of this. Amazing rendition. 👏
5:47 - I get strong Rick Wright vibes
And the very end made me think of some early Prodigy stuff.
Very cool arrangement - I'm off to check out more of your stuff
Excellent, this took me back to the 70's and the first time I heard Oxygene!
Nice work.
This is insane 🤯I spent so much time learning and playing Orion on bass when I was a teen... Your cover is an instant banger for me 😍
Okay, this may actually the best tribute to my very favorite song I've encountered so far. I agree here, you managed to capture the very essence of the song. Chapeau to you sir. 🙏🏻
Sounds absolutely futuristic and awesome! My favorite part is 3:30 when the bass part comes in it sounds simply amazing
This is absolutely joyous, original enough whilst staying true to the source material. And it's inspired me to go out today and get some new string and get back at practicing this song.
Thankyou. -~
Great work man, this should have like 100 million views!
Thank you
Man I agree but think of it like this, this is a special piece of art that a very select few know about. It's like we're in this exclusive cyberpunk crew.
FOOK YES!!!!!!
As a metalhead and synth player, who taught myself this on keys in my teenage years this is everything i love musically in one place !
Thanks!
Only one thousand views? that's a joke
Edit. Only 35.000 views? that's a joke
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
CLIFF BURT|ON was a fucking genius. Nice job. Sounds like Jean Michel JArre playing a Bach composition. But its just CLIFF.
When people say modular is bleeps and bloops I'll link this video lol this is actually fucking incredible
sometimes YT algorythm just works. This is amazing. Great work man.
Great video nice work. Cliff was a beast and so are you!!!
Thank you!
OMG virtuoso playing!
Just found this masterpiece to my number 1 song, should be in a castlevania game
Yeah, that would fit!
Well I've never heard it played like that it's actually not bad mate ....well done!!
Nice. I love this song. Very interesting recreation.
This is spectacular. It sucks it only has 2k views. You are very good.
Wow, all the feels and so synth. Thank you!
What great tones. Lovely setup as well! I dig it!
This is mindblowingly impressive and amazing. You deserve millions of views!
What a Masterpiece!!!! I can hear that you feel the Metal in it. Expression is nice
GREAT!!!! Really awesome...I Hope for more incredible music !!
1.25 speed
ORGINAL
Absolutely amazing!!!!!!! Seriously, this is exceptional and the epitome of artistic interpretaion. Thank you for this I so enjoy it.
this is freaking awesome!!! love it!
Such an amazing song by Metallica , never did I think I would hear a modular version
one of my favourite Metallica tracks....very cool to hear it out of your rig 👍
I'll be honest... I came here rolling my eyes and thinking, "oh, what is this bullshit?" But I gave it a shot and once the song got underway, I'm so, so, so glad I clicked. I love how it sounds at 1.25x speed.
*edit- holy shit, dude... I'm listening through a Skull candy Crusher ANC headset and with the bass vibrator thing turned all the way up, it literally blurs my vision. That bass is fucking intense!
Awesome work!
Cool. I like the sounds you have chosen for each instrument also the slower tempo.
Thanks!
this is beyond epic!!! I love it!
Sounds like a Nintendo 64 Contra Game - fighting the final boss 📺👾
Nice job. The effort is obvious. Thank you!
This is perfect for being elevated

🔥🔥🔥
Very interesting , I like it!!
hell yes
metalheads needs more synths
Really cool! How long did it take to make it?
Fantastic work, kudos 🤟🤟
I'm guessing that it's not easy to deal with so much analog stuff but seems intriguing as well as it is challenging.
It can be, but that's part of the fun of a setup like this one.
Mind blown!
That's actually great
this deserves all the views
This should have 1 billion views
Please do more Metallica covers!! My ears are aching for them ❤
Coolio. I love playing guitar parts overt this interpretation.
Greatfull !!!
Fantastisch!
quedó muyyyy bien
Kudo great work!
This is AMAZING !!! I’d love to know how long you worked on it ! The clean guitar part is awesome .
Wow. Wow!
dope!
Bravo genius!
Hahaha brilliant!! Spot on
That was epic! I gotta ask, how many hours did it take to program? It’s an irrelevant detail but my synth mind wants to know.
All told it took about a month or so. Recording/editing midi, sound design, mixing etc.
Hey man this is awesome!!!!!! Did you make a cd??? I want it!!!!!
Fantastic😼👍Best cover of metallica song
