Re: Muse - Starlight
Hi TIA,
do you mean an arpeggio for the drumless bridge? There you can hear a quiet synth for 1-2 octaves behind the guitar-sound...
You can decide if you play this little lick manually (synth monophonic or legato g#minor (up-down) e major (up-down)) or dial in an arpeggio. Then you have to sync it with the drummer`s tempo (by tap and activate KB Sync)...
Today I'm away from keys but will try to recreate this one the next days...
Cheers
Tim

Hi,
I've found this video of the well known Rick Beato who has analysed the song (and the sounds) very well:
Hell, there is so much going on in this piece...I'm still working...

Hi Tim
I've figured out my own patch for it now, piano sound for main riff & arpeggio for the chorus, sounds pretty good imo! The only thing I haven't bottomed out is the low octave arp but our bass player covers it anyway live so I haven't really pursued it. I also transposed the patch so I play it in G but it comes out as B - a much more straightforward set of chords
Cheers

Hi Gav, hi TIA,
now I've finished, too....: Just like my other sounds here in the forum I recreate these sounds in one program (I‘ve let me guide by the ear of Mr. Beato):
Layer Scene I:
3-part-split, lower zone: distorted clav to emulate the distorted synth at the beginning
middle zone: a bright piano with much reverb to sound "big"...
high zone: the gated sound for the second bridge part (used with pitch stick and a bend range of an octave...) only to thicken the
beginning sound from the lower zone...
Layer Scene II
low + middle zone: saw-based synth with up-down-arp (experiment with the arp range) synced 1/16 to the master clock (126 bpm)
this sound is used for the first part of the bridge; the sounds for the second part can be morphed by wheel:
low + middle: very low and snarling synth bass sound arpeggiated played manually to get more "snarling"....
high zone: additional gated synth for second part of the bridge...
You see - you will need three or more hands and a good training for playing the arp-line manually with all the chord changes...
But yeah - all sounds done
Cheers
Tim
