Blah Blah Cafe, the Jean-Michel Jarre forum

Thought this would be a good place to share my cover. I put this together during the 2020 lockdown.

For those who are interested how I produced it. I created this using Cubase 5 using mostly free plugins from kvraudio.com.

I started this yesterday so its not complete. I still need to work out the 2nd part of the track when the pad chords come in. I would say this is my favourite track from MagFields album. I decided to film myself playing along for a change.

Thanks for those links. That YouTube movie is very bizarre :D !

I now remember where I originally downloaded the Eminent soundfont files that I used on my Equinoxe track. I think I should thank PerKristian for these files as they have been very useful.

If you have taken the time to listen to it, I would be pleased to know what my fellow Jarre fans think ...

Drums pattern comming from JD-990 in combination with sound of Minipops 7

Equinoxe Part 4 is one of my favourite tracks so I thought I would have a go at trying to recreate it but only using Cubase on my computer.
