Very relaxing. You did a great job with the lap steel VST. I find getting the steel VST just so is very difficult. You have managed it here.
If you don’t mind me asking which lap steel VSTi did you use?
Once again nice job.

Is this what Santa usualy does? Sleepwalking?
In our country we have another Santa (Sinterklaas), who celebrates his birthday on the 5th of december. He is also very old.
But he can't do a sleepwalk, because he is riding on roofs on a white horse. To dangerous and also no presents for the kids...
So this song, although very nice/sweet, is not good for our Santa.
But it is for me. I enjoyd the sound, the build up and the effect the steel guitar has on me.
I'm very at ease now...
Hans

Santo and Johnny were a favorite of mine back in the day and my wedding band played Sleepwalk many times. It was a fan favorite.

Tony Thanx Tony. Actually it was a very easy track to create. I used the Indiginus lap steel VST: https://www.indiginus.com/the-steel-electric-lap-steel-guitarThe articulations you heard were created via velocity; high velocity did slides up, low did slides down, and a neutral range velocity added no articulations. It was very easy to obtain a realistic sounding lap steel using this VST.

Hans Hans my friend you misread my statement. I said Santo and not Santa. Santo was part of the team Santo and Johnny and they did a song called Sleepwalk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2rwfqsjimRMI'm glad that you liked the song.

Mario, This is great! So relaxing. Me being a pedal steel player I am in love with the sound. It is absolutely amazing what you get out of your keyboard. This very convincing. I always loved Sleepwalk. Oh yeah I'm that old, Tom

Mario,
It's a very relaxing song.
The rap steel makes it sound like a country song, but the chord progression is a little more complicated.
It's surprising that you can express the sound of lap steel with your MIDI keyboard.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.

Hi Mario.
I remember Santo and Johnny playing on our first TV. Monochrome, one channel only.
I loved "Sleepwalk" and it's quite an accomplishment to get that sound on a keyboard.
