I have been a fan of Sade's moody but melodic music even since I heard her first recording of Smooth Operator. So I wrote this in a similar style. Using my Motif XF I created a backing using a Jazz Drum Kit, Dark Bass and Classical Guitar all with appropriately selected Arps for the two variations I needed. I also used a GM Voice from the Motif- Crystal- for one lead and the Breathy Tenor Sax SA2, Jazz Trumpet SA2 and Live Strings from the Tyros 3 as other leads. Finally I selected a Chorus DX on the Tyros 3 for my left hand chords. Writing the work came relatively quickly but it took quite a while to get the balance, mix, effects (proper Reverb) for each part. I can say the Motif makes it easy but because there are so many different Arps and effects to choose from it just takes a while deciding from the wealth of choices. Hope you enjoy it.
