The series theme song is one of the most memorable and beloved themes from any television series. The series featured music by the great Stu Phillips (Battlestar Galactica, Buck Rogers in the 25th Century, The Fall Guy, The Monkees, Quincy and The Amazing Spider-Man). The original show ran for four years on NBC and made stars out of David Hasselhoff and his car, KITT. I remember reading what I'm sure must have been your post, but when I did a Google I couldn't find it.Knight Rider (Original Television Soundtrack) UniversalĪn expanded package of music from the beloved television series, Knight Rider. That's correct and I'm pretty sure I was the one who wrote the post on that forum. Underwood and Mike Lang were also using the Prophet 5 at the time so I'm pretty sure it saw some use on the show as well. Phillips didn't explicitly mention the OB-X and Minimoog but I do know that Ian Underwood used to use both synths at the time (he also had a Rhodes chroma but that might have been a year or so later). I can tell you that the 16th note figure that opens the theme was played by Ralph Grierson and was not sequenced, but played live." Three of the players on the date were Ralph Grierson, Mike Lang and Ian Underwood. I cannot recall all of the instruments that were utilized, but I'm certain that Roland, Oberheim, Moog were among some of instruments used. "There were four synthesizer players on the KR theme session. I probably had a CS80 as well as a Rhodes Chroma." Here's what Grierson said: " I had a Jupiter 8 for the basic sequence type sound which I did play live. I got the info from Stu Phillips, and Ralph Grierson has confirmed to me that he did play the "arpeggiated" riff live using a Jupiter-8. Hopefully someone can provide a link to an interview or something to back this up.That's correct and I'm pretty sure I was the one who wrote the post on that forum.
I think the main riff was Jupiter 8 and other synths were Prophet 5, OBX, CS-80 and Minimoog? I remember reading, possibly on another forum, that the score was performed live by multiple keyboard players.
