– the Foundation for Law And Government…Ĭreated by the ultra-prolific Glen A.Larson (the man who created ‘Battlestar Galactica’, ‘Buck Rogers in the 25th Century’, ‘The Six million Dollar Man’, ‘The Fall Guy’, ‘Magnum P.I.’, and many, many more), ‘Knight Rider’ was originally seen as a modern-day version of ‘The Lone Ranger’ – albeit with a sentient, talking car instead of a horse. (Knight Industries Two Thousand), and offered a job fighting crime for F.L.A.G. With the aid of reconstructive surgery the young officer is given a new face and identity – that of ‘Michael Knight’ – access to an advanced prototype car equipped with an artificial intelligence named K.I.T.T. Knight explains that he is dying from a fatal disease, but hopes that his life’s crusade of helping the helpless will live on in his new protégé. When Police Officer Michael Long is betrayed and shot in the head during a stakeout, his life is saved when the bullet deflects off the metal plate in his skull - the result of an injury sustained in the Vietnam War his face, however, is horrifically damaged… When he comes to, Michael learns that after being officially declared dead, he has been brought under the medical care of the Knight Foundation, a philanthropic organisation owned by billionaire Wilton Knight. Michael Knight: a young loner on a crusade to champion the cause of the innocent, the helpless, the powerless, in a world of criminals who operate above the law." – Wilton Knight A shadowy flight into the dangerous world of a man who does not exist. 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. 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.
