The Weeknd - Blinding Lights - Synth Recreation

Whilst digging for some tunes to play this Saturday Night at RCC, I reminded myself how much I love the synths in 'Blinding Lights' by The Weeknd. Here's a stripped back version on a couple of my favourite synths 🎹🎹🎹

Drums: Ableton Push 2 (Linndrum Samples)
Synth Pads : Roland SH2 & Jupiter 4
Synth Bass: Moog Multimoog
Synth Lead: SCI Prophet 5 Rev 3
Synth Chords: Roland Juno 6
Vocoder: Roland VP330 Vocoder Plus

Good lord - the bass actually sounds better than on the original 😬. Still warm, phat and chewy, but with that extra something in the resonance... Fantastic job.

[alexanderkramer]

Man we need a whole cover! This was dope!

[ReptiKent]

Luke. You have got to release the full version of this re-work. Absolutely incredible!!! Can't wait to hear the full version mate. Lots of love, peace

[shirolee]

Damn dude! I love that way this sounds more than the original! Please give us a full version!!!

[timwds]

Man, that sounds incredible! I like it better than the original.

I need that phat bass pad on loop all night. Man, how's about a long jam session? Keep it going!

[MikeKobb]

I have never heard you get a bad sound out of that Multimoog. Just absolutely killer every time.

You really need to do a full cover of this song! It’s way too perfect! You should do Harder Better Faster Stronger next!

[compu]

Hopefully you do a full cover of this song... you make it rock!

[jollyaustin]

Love it Luke, and I dig the drip! Have a great weeknd. 😜

[yusufkhan-igdv]

It sounds really cool on those vintage synths! I wonder what they used for the actual song

[douglasharbert]

Damn that bass is dirty dirty. I love it....

[gaae]

....the 80s never ended with this song.

[einszweidrei]

Synths are Phatter than the original (you really feel the impact on that sawtooth)

[zipzap]

this is like if someone with an actual love for synths wrote the song, better than the original tbh

[RemotelyHuman]

Any chance you could break down your bass patch for us mere mortals looking to ape the sound?
