Super Metroid - The Jungle Floor (Live Synth Cover)

My arrangement of the Brinstar Jungle Floor / Overgrowth theme from Super Metroid, performed live on my synthesizers + finger drumming controller.
Metroid is one of my favorite video game series and I'm super hyped for the just-announced Metroid Dread! :)

Technical details:

All sounds performed live simultaneously in one take (no pre-recorded material or overdubs).

Right hand:

- The choir sound is played on the Sequential Prophet XL.

- The percussive keyboard sound in the intro was also programmed on the Prophet XL but I'm controlling it from the Korg Microkey (The PXL can have 2 layers on different midi channels).

- The fuzzy synth sound was programmed on the Prophet 6, I'm controlling it from the Roli LUMI keyboard.

- The red monosynth is the Arturia Microbrute SE.

Left hand:

- The controller with the arcade buttons is a custom design that was built for me by the talented Matt Moldover.

- The mini keyboard on that controller is routed to Steinberg Retrologue (synth bass) and a layered kick sample.

- The arcade buttons are triggering various samples, some which I made specifically for this arrangement (the string stabs and arpeggios). I used Native Instruments Battery 4 to map all the samples.
