Kebu - Roland n/zyme Jam

I was only planning to try out a few sounds on the new Roland n/zyme wavetable synthesizer for the Fantom, when I suddenly had a complete demo song together. After a few practice takes, here's what it sounds like.

Only n/zyme patches were used and the demo was mixed in the Fantom. I did some small adjustments to each presets, to make them more suitable for the song. Only some multiband compression and limiting was added for mastering. Everything was performed and recorded live using the Fantom's built-in sequencer. Prior to the take I pre-recorded the "Chip stutter" and "Sine mine" sounds, because otherwise the intro would have been double this long, since I would have to wait for the recorded pattern to loop once before recording another pattern.

Some days are good and others are bad. Some days are so and so. And then there are those days when I come across Kebu playing something new on an impressive Roland synthesizer. Making the world a better place, one track at a time. Thank you, Kebu.

I’m 52, English and have such a varied range of tastes in music, rock, pop, prog, synth/new wave (80s kid!) alternative, etc - you get the point….but this tune..? Absolutely amazing - a showcase of an amazing instrument and an amazing musician. Outstanding 👍🏻 *Edit/Additional - at the end of 2022, the YouTube thing did a ‘Your Year In Music’, or similar, video montage thing, and this tune smashed even my obsessional playing of Noel Gallaghers’ last 2 albums. Kebu…thank you 👍🏻 😉and Roland, of course 👍🏻

Sebastian, kiitos sydämeni pohjasta jumalallisesta ja melodisesta musiikistasi. Kaltaisesi ihmiset tekevät maailmasta paremman paikan. Kirjoitan kääntäjän kautta, koska kunnioituksen osoituksena haluan ilmaista kiitollisuuteni omalla äidinkielelläsi. Terveiset venäläisfanilta.

I knew the Fantom sounded good from demos I've heard/seen but, you just went and confirmed beyond any shadow of a doubt just how good this synth can be. Talent, true talent, is what makes all of the difference in the world and, my friend, you have it in spades. I absolutely love your music.

Every time I see you playing, I know very well, the Fantom can do everything. If it doesn't sound good to me, it's up to me and I have to make even more effort. You are so good. I enjoy watching you a lot. You are my motivation - thank you Kebu !!!

The Master of Synthesizer: wow, the best Fantom performance. I have enjoyed every note. That’s great!

[hoblon]

Kebu is one of my best music findings so far. Amazing music. Thank you.

Geez I love this track, first heard it a year ago and I have played it dozens of times, I just dont get bored of it it, Many thanks Kebu.

Worldwide, I think there is no other teacher with so much technological and interpretive knowledge of that style of music; I can only congratulate him for so much musical work in all these years and display of talent.

[stefanimhof]

This is awesome, fantastic. i‘m sitting in my 5.1 home cinema watching you doing magical sound on the Fantom. It‘s really amazing to see you gliding over all those keys, knobs, sliders creating this wonderful piece of music.

[mariuszzalewski]

Kebu, you put me in the chair with these sounds!!! This piece is nothing but poetry 👍
Congratulations, I bow down...

[steveharleyfan]

He knows this synth inside out - every function, every note. Yet it is just one synth of so many he has touched over the years !!! Awesome !!!

[jamesowens]

Amazing! It's such a pleasure to hear you work! You make this look almost effortless, which I think is the sign of a true master - and you are indeed that!

[paulgrooveside]

I liked the sound of this synth instantly when Roland released it. Worth having a Fantom for!

[rahimkisoor]

The walking plug-in makes my eyes, ears and heart so much Mr. Kebu.

[GeorgeSundancermusic]

Perfect track to end my day with, Kebu. Especially loved it when the Floating preset came in. Awesome !

[pendago]

Those last silent 5 seconds... It is incredible how good music continues for a short while in complete silence after the last note. We can see it in your face. Well done Kebu, beautiful improvisation in G-min!
