Son of Flynn from Tron Legacy Recreation

Utilising the Zyklus Improvisor as a custom arpeggiator / loop player, this is a demonstration of how Daft Punk created one of the most memorable tracks on the Tron Legacy soundtrack. By inputting just the initial arpeggio pattern (in G Minor) the entire piece can be recreated note for note, just by inputting the right chord progression. Track one is recorded live (the arpeggio). Tracks 2 - 5 were pre-arranged. Track 2 is just a bass note. Track 3 is a warm synth pad. It has a single note (on the dominant) on layer two (for the introduction), and then duplicates the input chord on layer two for the rest of the piece after the introduction. Track 4 is also a chord, this time for violins. In the original this part is actually played by an orchestra. Track 5 uses the Zyklus’ built in arpeggiator to produce the 16th note bass line.
