Thank you, this is appreciated! Dont hesitate if you've got any questions regarding this mockup.

I'll see if I can find it in my backup drive (it's actually a 7-8 y o mockup).

OH, I thought you had it at hand. It's not absolutely necessary, I wouldn't want to waste your time if it's not a simple search on connected drives.

What kind of infos do you expect to find in the cpr that you won't in the MIDI file if I may ask?

You've done a good job of typing down the presets in the track headers, but I don't have LASS for example, and some others. So those I would have to guess, but there are some that I do have the products for, but I can't find. For example, Zebra 2 Dark Bass ARP, I can't find that one in either Zebra HZ or Zebra 2.

Then there's "Omni Hammering the String Washer + Deus Ex HR". In Omnisphere, I can find the Hammering one, but I type Deus and nothing comes up. Same for "Fat Strings". Same for "Daft Punk". Did you create those yourself and saved them as presets?

K2500R 45 Prophet Sync and K2500R 15 Big PWM, I have no idea what they are. Same for 80's Extreme Percussive Bass.

So I thought maybe loading the project could tell me at l least what products those belong to, and in the case of the Omnisphere ones, maybe get the actual sound that you intended. It seems to me that the sound of just "Hammering the String Washer" is not the same as what I hear in your final mixdown.

So just that, but again, it's just another learning project, so don't waste any time on it.

Ok I see, I actually don't think the project file would have given you these answers;)

Yes, I generally name my tracks with the preset name. I didn't do this specifically for the video, it's just the way I work so I don't forget what these tracks are connected to. It doesn't happen often but projects can get corrupted somehow and Cubase can empty some Kontakt instances. It happened to me at least 3 times over the past 5 years.

So, yes you're spot on, most of the presets you are looking for are not stock presets but custom ones like the Zebra 2 Dark Bass ARP or Deus EX/Daft Punk in Omnisphere. Fat Strings is for Fat Triumph Strings (I used this one a lot back when it was a preset in Atmosphere).

The K2500 is a Kurzweil hardware synth I bought in the early 2000 from the guy who scored the TV Show Spin City. I sampled some of the stock and all my custom presets and made Kontakt instruments from these. I think the 2 presets you mention are actually stock presets from the K2500 (R stands for Rack version).

I don't remember at all what this 80's Extreme Percussive Bass track is.

From the video I gather that your Omnisphere preset doesn't sound like mine because I created a multi and combined a stock preset with a custom one. I also may have used heavy EQ processing on this channel.

I can see if I still have some of these custom presets, but honestly you surely can get a quite similar result to what I did in a more efficient way (with less tracks and instruments). I kept listening to this synth part over and over, had a starting point with probably the very first synth track (Zebra ?) and kept layering until I got something somewhat similar to the original :grin:
 
Thank you, I'll think about it!

Out of curiosity, what use do you guys find in these MIDI files? The big value of this exercise is to train your own ears and force you to transcribe it yourself to get as close to the original as possible. But there may be a pedagogic use I'm not seeing?

For me I like studying full MIDI mockups for:

Learning notations
Listening to other covers
Learning about articulation
Train my ears

So yeah any midi files are appreciated
