1) 0:00 - 0:14 - Original sample from The Moments - Baby Let's Rap Now slowed down to 1 octave
2) From 0:15 comes an easy saw base, nothing special
3) Also from 0:15 seconds stared the main part consist of drums (few kicks(808+regular)+shaker, few claps (with a big reverb)+snare)) + some quiet pad (maybe strings)
4) On 0:25 second is start playing some bells
5) From 0:46 second start play violas,violins and some piano-type sound to right channel (don't know what it is)
6) 0:57- 1:01 flute?
7) 1:03 synth (saw+fast decay)
8) 1:14, 1:30 some part of brass (tube?)
9) 1:13, 1:20, 1:29, 1:36 и т.д, don't know what it is (some people sayed me that it's a reversed piano from omnisphere, but i didn't find actual patch)


So there is no major instruments in the rest of the song, execpt for some little parts of staccato violas и electro guitar riff from 3:47 and harp 4:02)


Please tell me where I'm wrongespecially interested in 4,5, 6, 8,9

3. the quiet pad is just violins

4. those bells are the same sound you hear at 9. an electric piano with some phasing and delay added

5. the piano is a straight forward acoustic piano that has been mic'd to be a bit more woody than normal (no reverb on the instrument itself in fact) - if this were an upright piano I would have taken the front and top off and then used a microphone some 6' behind the soundboard as well as a plate/pzm type mic on the soundboard

6. yes this is a pair of flutes, possibly doubled with an alto/bass flute (a 4th lower or 8ve lower)

8. not brass but a bass guitar

9. see 4. above
 
Thank you very much! Very helpful info.
But i can't even image how to make electric piano sound like this (9 point). If you could make a little example, it would be great...

Also in 8 point, are we taking about the same things? This sound 4:53 - 4:57 and 5:01-5:04 can be really a bass guitar? It sound more like brass...

Well, after 4 hours i can't make anything even close to that sound. I tried 4Front E-Piano and Rhodes but still can't do anything. Can you help me (I bet that you can do it easily)...
