Great video! I did the same thing with a Roland JV-80 using 8 tracks for everything but the piano sound. 90's workstations are still great sounding production tools.

Thank you Korg Triton's bravest warrior

[kal]

buying the triton vst was the greatest choice i made in my years of producing

I'm glad Paul Hardcastle was mentioned. His Jazzmasters series gave smooth jazz a solid profile.

Damn. Gotta give it to the algorhythm. I love smooth jazz (Dave Koz, Boney James, Jazzmasters, The Rippingtons, etc.) and I love Bitwig. So glad I came across this.

Paul Hardcastle is a pure legend! My favourite is his first album. As always an awesome tutorial! 🎶🎹

[gurpaful]

This is so authentic sounding it actually took me back

[ZwarteKotishka]

I loved gran turismo until gt4 and hearing that type of music is just awesome!!
Very nice!

[kdaddy]

The Triton was one of the absolute best synths ever.

[bernard]

great vid. we call the note shift on the snare "dilla time" :)

[deeorlando]

That sax line on top everythang gave me the stankface. well done, sir

[LawrenceAaronLuther]

just got done bashing my brains making DnB. Tomorrow I think I'll make a song like this while following your lead to relax. Thanks for sharing

[lovsindaniel]

Awesome tutorial. I'm constantly listening to Paul Hardcastle songs. Morning coffee is worth nothing without them. This tutorial was a sparkle to even produce it, with Triton. Thumbs up 😀

Korg Workstations like Triton, Trinity, M1 and 01/W are legends

Really happy to see Hardcastle getting his recognition. Hes been one of my favorite musicans for years.

[chauntea]

I've been wanting to produce music inspired by the Jazzmasters. This video really helps, thank you!!

Oh this is the ticket for making 90s ambient jungle.

[GerryMoningkey]

Paul Hardcastle's definitely a legend especially in the smooth jazz & chillout lounge music scenes. One of his signature sounds gotta be the ambient EPs with kinda sparkly texture you can hear in many of his tracks. I watched a video of his studio session and he has all these rack modules and an Emu Emulator so dude definitely got all these hardware mojos present throughout his tracks.

The concept in this video is really interesting... making a music with just one hardware to do all the instruments parts, or maybe as few as possible with just one sound module and a drum machine. Limitation sparks creativity.

My dad played only this music in the 90's but loved all things jazz. All of these Korg vst's are just great. I was surprised by how good the Korg Legacy Cell is this week as I had never tried it.

Love this! Every 90’s Smooth Jazz radio station had a DJ named Delilah ❤
