Classic CS-80 filter modulation, vintage holiday vibes, and quirky late-’70s festive production recreating McCartney’s synth-pop Christmas hit.
The full remake, played through in Ableton Live.
Paul McCartney’s Wonderful Christmastime was recorded during the McCartney II sessions and built around the distinctive sound of the Yamaha CS-80, using rhythmic filter modulation, layered vocal overdubs, and playful electronic arrangements.
This remake recreates the full production inside Ableton Live using Arturia CS-80 V4, including the custom CS-80 patch, vintage drum machine programming, and all synth and vocal arrangements without using samples from the original recording.
Each remake comes as two ZIP downloads: the full Ableton Live project with every track frozen, and multitrack WAV stems for every audio track with MIDI files for every MIDI part.
Includes 1 project · 313 MB zipped · instant download
