Snap - Rhythm is a Dancer (Live synth cover)

- This is our live performance of the classic 1992 eurodance hit Rhythm is a Dancer, by German group Snap!
Every synth line was played live, without resorting to computers or sequencers. No midi. Our syncing was based on a revolutionary metronome-to-earphones system :)
From left to right, gear list and synth players were:
Korg M1 - França Guimaraes - Choir pad, strings lead, piano solo
Sequential Sixtrak, Sp404 - Guillermo Caceres - Bass, drums triggering
Korg Microkorg - George Frederick - 16th note synth
Yamaha An1x - Anderson Freitas - Main synth phrase, synth solos
Clavia Nord Lead 2x - João Marcos - Bell-like synth line
Vocals - Quésia Carvalho
The arrangement was based on a combination of the Radio Edit and the 12'' versions. We decided to leave out Turbo B's rap verses to favour the instrumental lines.
This time we had available one of the original synths known to have been used in the original track - the Korg M1. This allowed us to recreate the voice choir, the strings and the piano exactly as they appear on the original recording. The original bell-like sound played by the Nord Lead could also be found on the M1 library, but we would've run out of keyboard space to map the sound appropriately.
The versatile Microkorg was programmed with a sixteenth note repetition, which prevented the player from dying of muscle cramps and helped to keep us in sync during the instrumental interludes.
The drums were reconstructed with 909 samples using Reaper, bounced to audio, and played back by the Sp404. The only sample was the hit sound that can be heard during the intro and instrumental parts.
Again, please forgive the grainy quality, the shaky hands and the few misplaced notes, we were just having fun.

Does anyone know her insta account? Just to tell her she was what’s up 👍
Sure, it's @quesiadecarvalho, check it out!
Synt5 thanks alot 👍👍👍
Did you listen to this video!? 100% sure she knows what's up!
This video is absolutely underrated and deserves far more views. Beautifully done!
I know that's girl on vocals is amazing,but i'm highly impressed by guys,who did track without laptops.
Súper súper buenísimo este Gran musica de los 90 mis saludos desde la paz bolivia
This is the best cover I have ever heard 😍
ive been listening to to the original song for 20+ years. im SERIOUSLY impressed. she hits the inflections of the vocals perfectly. id swear that was the real group live
I would pay to see a performance like this.
I would aswell.
Honestly, though, there's something great about seeing it on a vid -- way better view of those beautiful synths!
This is so amazing. When I was a dj back in the day this was the most requested song ever. In one club so many wanted to hear it one more time so when it was over I simply lifted the pic up and placed it from start again on the record. Probably the ugliest mix i ever done. But the most loved mix I ever done. That's why this song has a very special place in my heart. It must be the best commercial trance song ever made.
She's flawless on the vocals!
Sun's out today. Play this tune ! 8-)
Sim muita coisa que timbre que técnica vocal precisa nas notas muito top
This is a legit performance. I was impressed by the synths, but I wasn't expecting the vocals to be so good!
tenho vindo aqui toda noite. esse vocal e performance da Quésia Carvalho, atrelado a competência de todos envolvidos, me deixam paralisado. 🙏✌🙌
this is best interpretation of the title on the internet ! fabulous vocals !! cool af keys and drums !!!
Yeah, she has some pipes for real!

Damn! She's really good.
what a voice !!!
iamyourfuture808 The voice is goodlike.
Tom-Luca you have me super disco a love you
Yep, but they need the rapper to fill in.
i watch this video every week. Can't stop. Best cover.
Hermosa vos ! Excelente! "Al ritmo del bailarín " .
Sensacional, a vocalista é canta demais 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Strong!! Real!!! We can feel the real sinths flowing thorough our ears and coming to the brain like in 92'!!!!!!!! Congrats!! Keep it going !
Fantastic!
There are so few synth players actually playing everything live.
Excellent cover 🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝
You guys are simply genius. Great voice, massive work on the live synths... Incredible
Yeah, this just proves that electronic music can be played totally live... you don't need freaking sequencers all the time. Sure, it does require like 6 keyboard players or something (more or less depending on the songs and how many instruments they require), but it can be done. Plus, having several keyboards on stage would probably look very cool visually! :))
This is simply jaw-dropping.
perfect work, and she has an amazing voice!
Wooooww genial , los 80'-----2000'
Quésia is such a beautiful woman and nailed it perfectly. This is the best vocal cover of the song I found on RUclips. The Synths are great too, especially without using midi, congrats! Next time you must do a multitrack recording ;)
Thanks!
Superb! Perfect!👌👏
Mi avete fatto emozionare
OH. MY. GOD. THIS IS EVERYTHING! 😍
And even more! ))
Hey baby you singin kinda spectacular 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Wow! Very impressiv and a powerfull great voice!
Super ! La voix est exceptionnelle !
As I watch this, it's 25 years since Snap! released this tune, and more than 30 years after Newcleus created the sample for Automan. Outstanding live performance of this piece of art!
Excelente trabalho! parabéns galera, é difícil ver um projeto assim com vários tecladistas ao vivo.

Muito massa
@@alexmightdrop que orgulho saber que são BR, nível altíssimo se músicos!
Powerfull voice, that is what is needed for this song.👍 good effort.
I have seen this clip several times now and I keep clicking it again and again. It surprises me a bit since this song was never one of my favourites when it was performad by Snap, although I thought it was quite good. There is just something with this performance that really speaks to me. The fact that all synth parts are played live is really fascinating and the outcome is a really tight live performance. The lovely singer is also amazing. A beatiful voice making a wonderful performance. The recreation of the different sounds in the song is also high quality. Thanks for sharing this and keep up good work!

Great Rey Maykel "The Peruvian Ice Mc" You need to this Girl en your group for Tv.
Neil Torres do you Think ray Mikel is a great person?
he thinks is better than Dj Bobo yo soy Perú. he treats poorly Gio his partner ice mc yo soy.
Mister Mikel is not a good person .
you dont know Anythin Whats is happening.
mis hechos dicen que yo soy el mejor mas bien verguensa me da decirte que soy mejor que dj bobo porque no estaria mostrando mi humildad querida marina mis hechos lo dicen no yo yo soy el mejor y tengo que ser campeon aun si el no es mejor que yo no es mi culpa mas bien dile a el que se adelante a la carretera ok ah y no lo digo yo que soy mejor que dj bobo lo dice la gente por mi hechos y mis actitudes gracias
SOY EL DURO DEL TRAP estas muy mal. tienes que ser mas humilde .
. estas equivocado . a quien le has ganado ? para que digas que eres el mejor y mejor que el imitador de Dj Bobo?
la gente el público dirá si lo eres. y aun así debes mantener tu sencillez y tu no la tienes eso se ve. y se lee en tu persona.
y si tuvieras vergüenza . tampoco lo dirías
Wow ça envoit !!!!
comme la version originale!
Superbe cover! on dirait le disque...!
Et puis la chanteuse......: Magnifique ! a tout point de vue
Merci de votre commentaire! C'était un travail difficile de tout mettre en place, mais cela en valait la peine.
belle réussite en effet!!! vous auriez mérité une plus grande audience en live, mais heureusement « youtube » permet de compenser cela aujourd’hui.
the real sound of the 90’s !
je crois avoir reconnu un korg m1 ... LE synthé de l’eurodance !
bravo
Essa música marcou minha vidaaaaa em 1992

incredible version, and an amazing singer. thank you and congratulations!!!!
awesome work
Thank you for this special performance you don't see it often!
monstrueux !!! enorme ne lachez rien !!!! c'est excellent !!!
This is fantastic!
I just now listened to this. But, seriously, the fact that you took on the somewhat challenging task of performing this completely live, without just playing it safe and resorting to sequencers or backing tracks, is really commendable. Just goes to show that you don't "need" sequencers or backing tracks to perform electronic music live! In fact, when I was brand new to the techno/EDM genre I actually thought this was how everyone would perform a techno concert; just bring some drum machines and synthesizer keyboards onto the stage and play on them like real instruments, by manually hitting the keys/buttons/pads to play all the notes/chords/drum sounds in your songs! :))) Well, I thought this way until I learned about sequencing, DJing and so on.
Thanks for such a detailed comment. I should note that, while the melodic lines are indeed played live, the drums are actually sequenced and triggered from the sampler, so purists might not consider this to be entirely "live," but anyway... Thinking about this topic, it is really interesting to notice that the vast majority of electronic arrangements from this era (or any other era) was never intended to be played live. It does indeed take an army of synths, but I'd say it's worth it :) Cheers
@@Synt5 Ah, I see. It's still quite fascinating though!
You know, I have had a thought as I've been thinking about this topic: there was probably a time in electronic music's history where the only way to perform a concert was to play everything manually, by hitting the keys and pads to play the notes/chords/sounds in a song. I mean, we obviously have electronic musical instruments that are played manually, just as how any acoustic musical instrument is played manually, so this would make sense. This manual playing method would've likely been very common, until sequencers became common and complex enough that electronic music artists eventually forsook an all-manual human performance in favor of inhumanly complex musical ideas that could only be realized with sequencers. I bet some of the "synthpop" bands from the 70s, for example, probably played their music manually, and this is how they would've performed their concerts as well; not that different from any rock band or jazz band or orchestra that plays all the parts manually. I mean, it's possible right?
Also, related to that, there are probably some techno/EDM bands that have simple-enough musical parts, enough members in the band and few enough instruments in their songs that they can easily play it all completely live with no problem. Like for example, you might have a techno band that only needs 2 keyboardists and a third member playing pads on a drum machine, with no sequencers, loops or backing tracks at all. That's basically as simple as you can get. Very minimalistic. There's actually a "synthpop" band I found called "COSBY" (yes, the all-capital letters were intentional), and I think this is what their setup is like. So they would have no problem playing a concert this way, and this would be a real live human performance entirely with electronic instruments!
@@justinnaramor6050 Interesting thoughts indeed, thanks for sharing them. I think it is really a matter of different performance philosophies. Nowadays there's nothing preventing people from playing synths live like this, but still it's difficult to find someone willing to do that. Thanks for the band suggestion, I'll check that out. Cheers!
@@Synt5 Cool.
Regarding that band I mentioned, I think they're actually not normally a synthpop band and they're more of a normal rock band (as the description on the video I found of them playing seemed to imply), but in the song I found, they did explore the synthpop style. The song was called "Spaceships".
I forgot to mention also that I'm visually impaired to the point of being blind. So, when I listened to that synthpop song, I obviously couldn't see what the band was actually doing. But from the video description, it appears to me they were using 3 keyboardists and a vocalist. So what about the drums? Well it appears to me one of the keyboardists was also playing drum parts live at the same time (you know, kind of like some of those "one-man bands" you might see at fairs or on streets). The drums were played on an Akai MPD226 which is an instrument you play with your fingers, so I'm imagining that this keyboardist in the band was playing the MPD226 with the fingers on one hand while using the fingers on the other hand to play his respective keyboard part. The other 2 keyboardists took care of the other keyboard parts. And as I listen to it, I can indeed hear that there are exactly 3 keyboard parts, particularly at the chorus of the song: (1) a bass line, (2) some chords, and (3) a melody line. The melody line was pretty much non-existant during the verses. The melody line is simple enough that it can be played one-handed (I should know; I'm a keyboardist myself), so I'd imagine the keyboardist playing that melody was also the one doing the finger drumming at the same time. Then the second keyboardist play the bass line while the third keyboardist played the chords.
These are just my observations, but as I said I can't see them doing it because of my blindness, so someone with vision who watches the video should confirm this for me :)))
@@justinnaramor6050 Hi, I think I've found the video you were referring to, it's not their studio recording, but a live version of the song, correct? I can break it down for you: yes, there are three keyboard players and a singer. The first sounds heard during the introduction, before the bass and the drums come in, are a DSI OB-6 playing chords on the left channel, and a Nord Electro 5D playing a small melody line on the right channel (they reflect their spatial position on stage, where the OB-6 is on the left, and the Nord is on the right). Both instruments maintain their left/right position throughout the song, so it is possible to identify what they are doing. As for the repeating bassline, that comes from the Moog, and is panned at the center. The bassline is partially played by hand, as in the hand holds the note, but each note repetition is actually being triggered by an external source, and for that reason it sounds so exact and machine-like. The drums are actually not being played by hand: the same guy on the Moog is using the Akai MPD to trigger the drum parts, so each pad functions as an on/off switch. The Akai appears to be connected to a tablet that is not mentioned in the description, which is where they seem to be playing the drums sequences from. In summary, a simple yet effective setup. It pretty much resembles what we used in our video, only that I used a sampler to play the drums, and not a sequencer. Indeed, now looking at it, it appears to be really difficult to find a synthpop band that plays everything by hand, including drums. Maybe I could try to address that in a future video.
Impressionnant. Bravo.
Perfect voice. Love when you are bending the pitch. Woooooooowwww
Nice sample triggering via Roland SP-404
Nice synth playing and choice of patches.
what a voice!!! amazing cover!
Spectacular! Congratulations for the great cover

Synt5 onde foi isso? Vocês são de que estado? Ficou muito bom, adoraria ver isso ao vivo!
Aqui estou novamente!!
Eu ñ me canso de apreciar esse espetáculo.
Essa introdução que ela faz me lembra aqueles cantos da época dos gladiadores.
Ficou muito bom 😍👏👏👏
Haha, pois continue por aqui! Ainda tenho alguns gigas de vídeos de apresentações gravados antes da pandemia esperando a edição aqui. Vou escolher qual que está melhor pra publicar e editar. Abs
Wow I love this live version! 👍
Eu simplesmente amei esse projeto, ficou perfeito!
Sensacional
Greetings from La Crescenta, Ca. My warmest regards to an awesome rendition of such a legendary tune!!! The great and powerful Ozz has spoken! Cheers

Beautiful voice !
Super performance !
Excellent performance !
Congratulations !
That was sick! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
No dejo de verlo siempre,su voz es idéntico,espero mas vídeos de ella: "Quésia Carvalho"
Everything about this slaps. I don't know a *lot* about synths -- other than what sounds good -- but I *think* that the models you listed in the description are all analogue ... how do those compare to the ones used on the original track? Great listen in any case ... and vocalist, just wowza: So, so good.
Is there a HQ version of the audio somewhere -- for download/sale/whatever?
Okay, reading -- it's so hard ... Just saw further down that you said that the Korg is the only one known to be on the original track ... Y'all's sound is fantastic in any case ... only thing that could possibly make this better is a giant wall of blinking lights on some crazy modular synth setup or something ;~P
@@halfsourlizard9319 Thanks! Yeah, the original song is essentially 100% digital synths and samplers, and most of it is indeed the Korg M1. Still, I'd also love to have a modular synth wall to play around :) Unfortunately, this is the only audio we got, recorded from the mics and the mixing desk. Thanks for your comments.
Amazing vocals and live synths make this a fantastic cover version. Pity the rap part is missing, though.
impressionante esse tanto de shynts ao vivo e essa voz fantástica, canta demais!!!
I love these guys...
very well done, luv it
Her voice has me falling in love. Beautiful.
Ya somos 2 👍😁

Fantástico ver um show De eletrônico que mostra de onde vem os sons de cada parte da música. Parabéns ao shows
excelente!, wanderfull
Wow, beautiful in "more than one sense"! The timing is outstanding - all the synths and vocals. Very impressive, Synth5! Thank you for selecting this song to cover, because, yes, as someone down here said, it has "kick-ass synths" - "you can feel it, you can feel the rhythm..., it's a passion... you can feel it in the air"!
I really appreciate this cover because it such a close emulation (in all respects) of the original studio version. So many great songs have been done live by their original artists, but because the timing is not as in the original, it is a bit of a "let-down" - disappointing.
Synth5, who is promoting you? When are you coming to South Africa?
Excelente....Awesome...the best live cover.
Muy buena combinación de teclados
Very powerful ❤
Muito bom!! Que show ela junto com os tecladistas!! Parabens a todos! Baita som!
