demo- GPO goes disco house

[Garritan]

This is one of the coolest demos I\'ve heard yet! Great to hear GPO used in this musical genre. Great work!

PS: Would it be okay to post this on the GPO website?

Too cool images/icons/smile.gif I\'m curious now to hear what you might do with modwheel and legato too. I like it.

[kensuguro]

Sure Garry! I\'m sure it\'ll pose great possibility for house/disco composers because they\'re always on the lookout for good strings. Now if I can only funk up the brass section. :-)

here is a longer version with legato here and there:

This tune was used as main theme for NEC\'s new coming employee instruction video if that makes a difference at all. Does it sound NEC? Na, didn\'t think so. I just wanted to try some disco strings. hehe.

Dunno if there\'s been a house demo yet, but here\'s GPO strings rippin\' it disco style.

No special programming here. Just stuck the mod wheel at max, and just played the phrases in octave unison. I did boost the high end up alot.

BEST GPO DEMO BY FAR!!!!

[kensuguro]

thanx for the positive feedback guys! I\'ll tell ya when the brass team joins in. images/icons/smile.gif

Very nice. Regarding the brass in the GPO, well I like what I hear but I too have my eye on doing some jazzy orchestral stuff at some point. I\'ve only had the GPO for a week so I\'m still goofing around, but the day after I got it I went out a snagged some inexpesive sax soundfonts because I just wanted to see how jazzy I could get with the GPO.

I still have a lot to work out there, but I cracked myself up pretty good there for a couple of hours :-).

There\'s a rumor that a big band add-on will be one of the 1st add-on libraries.

[Boneweasel]

Oh man, that is a GREAT demo!! Thanks for posting it.

LOL GPO Feeva!

[Adam Burford]

Way cool, Ken!

Technical question for you. I hear attack and volume changes in the strings, was this done only with Velocity changes?.. or did the last houseGPO have MW changes also?

[shushki]

Ken, what patches did you use? Super demo.
GPO disco inferno!

[kensuguro]

The first demo has no MW nor legato.
Second demo has both MW and legato. (not much)

I think I used violin lush 1. But really, technically speaking, this was really easy to achieve. I think it\'s more to do with eq and reverb. Playing it into GPO was a breeze. :-) Makes me want to smile cuz now I know I\'ve got a team of funky people playing \"da stringz\"!! LOL
