Hi all - Our friend in Germany (Alois Muller) did a cool video showing how he made a couple simple modifications to the "Love Song" style and he created a style for "Chariots of Fire". And to sweeten the deal even more, Alois put the new style on his web site for download. Love this guy and his videos. Even without understanding what he is saying, a picture is indeed worth 1,000 words... Here is his neat video of how to modify an existing style. SX900 sounding great in his hands as always!



I downloaded the style and it works "Sehr Gut!". Danke mein freund Alois!

Randy,

Good post thank you!

When this first came out (the movie, I mean) I had a friend who recorded it using a typewriter as the clicky-percussion track. Brilliant!
Yup ... one of these:

Great find Randy

There was an old song using a typewriter all the way through,but can't remember the name.

Nice find Randy. Love how he goes through the process for creating the style. Gives me hope that I might be able to accomplish this task at some point.

Thanks guys - yep, Alois is a real asset to the arranger community! He is quite knowledgeable and also a very good musician. Sure helps show the capability of these wonderful keyboards we all enjoy!

As I watched this man Jerry Lewis perform I wonder what it was like living your whole life "In Character" in front of the whole world....

The characters he played were so daffy and HAD TO BE A PART OF HIS EVERY DAY LIFE...

Truly unique performer

Brilliant find Randy.

Actually you didn’t miss anything by not understanding him, all he was doing was explaining his button presses etc, what he said and what was shown was identical.

Wow, I’m having a back to the future moment haha , not only is my piano playing coming back , so’s my German. Haha. ( sort of )

Rikki - we spent 4 wonderful years in Germany. Lived on the economy and enjoyed every second of it. Miss the sights and sounds of Europe. It's nice to see that many of the Europeans also have "Arrangeritus". Alois is a great guy and love his work! Thanks for the comment and stay safe over there!

Thanks Randy, I'm subscribed to Alois's You Tube channel and check everyday. He seems to prefer the Korg PA1000, but also has the SX-900, and other boards. He's an excellent player on any keyboard and his videos are well made.

I particularly love his left hand play, not used strictly for chord playing, but include fills and lead. Hope you don't mind, I've included an example of his left hand use.

Thanks Larry - I have a PA4X too....so the more Alois, the more brands, the merrier! He's a wealth of good ideas and knowledge for sure. Thanks for the share!
