Caustic Song file (optional):
I thought I'd attempt a cover of Orbitals The Box, expecting to be able to make good use of the KS synth.
Turned out that Vibraphone soundfont was a closer match to the original, but still not perfect. I used KS only for the lead 'shimmer' type sound.
No midi files for the song seem to exist, so all notes are by ear.
Feedback appreciated.
Cheers

Good effort Simpleboy! Impressed you've done all that just by ear.

Hahahaaaa! Goood... This lovely Song was my first thought as I heared the KSS-Synth the first time...
Yeah!
♬ Aliens approaching...
Nice! One of my favorite Orbital songs along with Dwr Budr.

Phenomenal work!
I've been wanting to try The Box ever since downloading a sound pack with clocks. For some reason I've always had an infatuation with the harpsichord. That part, of The Box, is my favorite. I drew the lyrics on 45x60cm paper, in '97.
Again, good show sir.

Thanks Edgey, thanks Andy.
I uploaded a revised version, as I was getting annoyed by the synth preset that sounded like a Romanian beggars accordian.
I"m still a bit frustrated I cant get the sounds closer to the original.
BTW, the box doesn"t have any lyrics!
Really great work, love it
Do you fancy taking on 'Are We Here' next? Would love to have a Caustic file of that to pull apart

The twenty minute +/- version does
Shares his neighbors with a building
Knows adresses of by heart
Draws a picture of his future
Keeps the paper close at hand
Packs his tongue into a suitcase
Suffers terror on the train
And he wants to start a movement
'Cause he's indestructible
Destructible..suffers terror on the train
He indestructible
And you know they'll never find us
And they'll leave us alone
And if we just keep on talking
Then we'll still make it home
There's commotion and promotion
Now they've done good every war
Sell our pictures to a paper
Now that everyone must know
Trading satellites for substance
Let spectators pay their way
We'll invade the trevi fountain
Now that everyone must pay
Mama and babies mother tragedy
Babies mothers tragedy
Babies mothers tragedy
Terrifies the kill

THanks James.
I've not heard either the 20 min version, or "are we here.
I'll take a look :-)
The vocal mix of The Box is on the 12", Are We Here is on the album Snivilisation that was the immediate album before Insides.

Snivilisation is beautiful.
James, when I posted my track, Condensation, I commented to you about my favorite track off that album. Broken Headlamps is the track I made after finding out that Orbital disbanded and LFO died in the same week.
