Hi,

Can anyone be so kind as to furnish me with the chords for the Eminent pads for Oxygene part 1 and Equinox part 2.

I've played around for ages and can't seem to get the right sound. Am I correct in thinking that neither of these tracks are available in sheet music?

I've heard some excellent covers on here by Radek ad Vince and would appreciate any help in finding the right chords.

Eq 2 hint: F minor
Without faith nothing is possible. With it, nothing is impossible.

In Oxygene 1 the worst thing is with the notes at the beginning

I did notice that the first notes were...er......wrong!

Also, a few of the chord progressions don't sound quite right. Thankfully I have enough knowledge to fix the wrong chords, I just didn't know where to start initially. At least this site has given me a starting point.

If anyone else has any better/more accurate sheet music please do let me know!

Be careful with scores. Some of them have been simplified so wrong notes may appears.

Most of these transcriptions were done by Sylvain Durand in the late 80's and mid 90's. Many scores have indeed been simplified or at least transcribed in a 'sounds-like, or played approximately like' way so that the sunday afternoon livingroom-keyboarder as well as the pro synthe veteran can use these. The best way to look at these scores is that of them being a guide to what eventually is played in the original. It sets you on the right path. I for one prefer using my ears in decoding JMJ's music. My ears simply hear more than Sylvain could or would transcribe and I have some ear-training in the process aswell. One trick I and a lot of my musical friends practice often studying new songs is loading your song in a program like CoolEdit, SoundForge or WaveLab and then timestretch the thing to a slower BPM. This will enable you to hear individual notes more easily. This in combination with a program like Sibelius or Finale will create far more realistic scores for you. :idea:

That's exactly what i'm doing with difficult part. I did it for many years and i think it's the best way for, using soundforge, removing the mono material, and then i can hear interesting things

Yes I use that trick too. It's the best trick so far and beats down the scores, unless you are totally lost with something in a heavy mix.

Removing the mono material is good to remove bass, drums, very useful to learn about "hard" sequence with delay, such as "moogy" bass in oxygen 12, sequenced lead in magnetic field 1, brass lead in Equinoxe 4 (my favorite :D )..... and found the real notes than has been played.

Delay often kills my mood when I try to figure out a sequence.

Jamie usually uses a left dry/right wet or vice-versa delay-path, so simply only listening to either the left or right channel should rid of most delays.
