| Lately ive been listening to techno/trance, and really listening to it closely, so i can learn more about the different sounds. Ive been listening to this one called "time to say goodbye" bye DJ Mystik. Idk if you guys have heard of it, but i will attach it to this post. But what i want to know is when the keyboard is being played, for exmaple at 1:49, there is alot of piano being played. Now would he be playing on just the right side of the keyboard, or both the left and right side? |

| Depends on whether the notes are high or low or both, I guess. Can't tell you anything without having heard the track. |

hahaha, DJ Mystic for the ing WIN!
To answer your question, the lower chords are probably a different sample from the higher in the main melody, meaning it cant be described as playing on the other side of the keyboard. I'm not sure about this though; I just couldn't stop screaming when listening to the track.
You need to stop listening to DJ Mystic, seriously. |

Not sure how much you know about music production, but it's rarely just recorded as played. Synths, for example, can have automated arpegiators and effects that make the piano roll much more complex and moving with only the press of a few keys. Also, several parts can be recorded and then combined or overlaid to make a fuller sound. For instance, in Rank 1's remix of superstring by cygnus x, the supersaw melody spans many octaves. It's not like Benno de Goeij and Piet Bervoets are pressing many octaves at the same time - they are likely modifying the midi data itself that is sent through the instrument so as to instruct it to play several octaves.
I assume you mean it is the sound of a piano, and you're not using it to mean ****** roll" as in the sequence of notes. Like someone else said, it would be sampled, and it would still be controlled like I described above.
So in answer to your question, I haven't listened to the track to which you refer, nor do i really want to, but I just want to say that it's probably not as simple as if he's playing this with left or right hands. he could be playing it with his nose one note at a time at 25% speed and then speed it up 4x.
It's not like it's elton john sitting at a keyboard or something. |
