This is brilliant again mate! Spot on recreation and an amazing effort ❤️ love it mate and I can be the same finding the right sound and lately bass is always the one from the 90s I use the jd8000 allot too I have a few of my own patches 😊
2:35 Hello, I was wondering why in the video is told that some sounds were recorded in Australia. Because the song was entirely produced and recorded in Italy in two studios; one in Reggio Emilia city and the other in Massa.
The video is not about the original. the video is about my remake. Original was recorded in Italy. My remake was recorded in Canada and partially Australia. I get a lot of help from my subscribers. Some people provide useful info (like you're doing now) and others help me record their synthesizers. ~Hedge
I might be fully out of line to ask this question, but here goes. Am I the only one who thinks Roland Corporation have kind of missed the boat regarding product development? Here it is, 2024 as a comment, and it still looks as if they are trying to plug too specific “sweet spots” from their past development/innovation: the TR 808 drum kit sounds from 1981 and the supersaw waveform from ‘96. They also seem to be clean to the glory years of the Jupiter and Juno polyphonic synthesizer lines, attaching the names to a couple of new models that might be relevant to the present but also still seem to be nostalgically leading on how big the originals were. It’s at the last thoroughly innovative models they manufactured were the JX8P, the D50 and the RD-1000 piano. Correct me if I’m wrong on that assessment. Shouldn’t Roland research and development have come up with some different product ideas by now?
I’m having a Déjà vu moment as similar discussions happened online back in the early 2000s. And then in 2010s. And now in 2020s. I kind of like the idea that they keep recycling stuff. Easy access to old sounds. But just like yourself I haven’t seen anything groundbreaking since the V-Synth. But here I am. Sitting right next to a JD-990 and an Alpha Juno 2. Tracking more Eurodance stuff. I’m not looking for anything new. Just want shit to work. Let me work up a good Roland rant for tomorrow. ~Hedge
Let me help you out a little bit, @@Hedge777. The other day, I watched a bad gear review by @AudioPilz of the Boutique A-01. It brought a question to my mind. Why didn’t Roland consider coming up with a Boutique module emulating the structured-adaptive synthesis engine in the MKS-20 module and the RD-1000 piano, including all of their presents? I enjoy having the SA emulation of the Yamaha electric grand series in my VR-09, but it would be neat if they’d built a Boutique MKS-20.
I recall Hans Zimmer talking about MKS-20. At the time I was way more interested in MKS-80. I just realized something. I Haven't bought any Roland gear since the mid 90s. as in no synths. The last Roland I picked up was that little controller I use in my each videos. the one with the D-beam. ~Hedge
My rant didn’t amount to much. But if I were to narrow it down to a few things: Can we consider Korg Kronos, Yamaha Montage, and the Virus TI classics? Synths that stand on their own? I'd say so, looking back over the past 20 years. These three, at least. Can you think of any Roland synth that matches up? I can't. The Fantom line feels like it's just offering a generic sound experience. I can't even recall a single preset that stands out. It's a far cry from the Roland synths of the 80s and 90s. Those were different - some stumbled at first but later became classics. But the Fantom? It's just coasting. And those other attempts with Jupiter and Juno names? Forgettable, to say the least. At the end of the day, how long can you rely on past success? Well, in Roland's case, it seems they're going to keep doing it as long as it keeps bringing in sales. It might be working for them, but not for folks like you and me, and probably not for most synth enthusiasts out there. Having said all that. I did take note of SH4D. Granted it's Alex demoing it. The best. ua-cam.com/video/IH-R9x9gDe8/v-deo.html ~Hedge
I know, @@Hedge777. It is as if V-Synth (with its subsequent iterations) was the last gasp Roland had at new innovations. Afterwards, it is as though they digressed into nostalgia mode, repackaging the names of their old models and hoping they capture the attention of people that have even deeper nostalgia than I do for “the glory days”. When will they come out with another new polyphonic and a successor to the TR models? It would be great if a drum-modeling synthesizer could also emulate Simmons as well as Roland.
damn, I was thinking I was gonna get the chorus synth lead from the yamaha, but it's actually the jd-800, GOD damnit, still though, the yamaha seems like an interesting piece to have

Beautiful!
Pipedreams was used on Vangelis 1492 soundtrack.
The Voice is by Jenny B ( Giovanna Bersola).
Amazing!
Dig your screen name! My first polyphonic synth :-)
@@Hedge777 my first analogue synth too!
In my case it was my second analog synth. First was ARP Odyssey (early one with the pitch knob and no CV gate). :D
@@Hedge777 nice debut into the synth world
Again, nicely done! Are you taking any requests? Captain Hollywood - More And More 😊
awesome as usual my friend :)
A lot more warmth in the mix in those 90s house tracks compared with nowadays even though a lot of it was digital.
Very well done
Thank you very much!

@@Hedge777 Everything clear now, thanks . And congratulations for these (full breakdown) videos, they are very interesting.
These videos are mega interesting - what lead patch was used on the jd?
A custom patch I made myself. I'm a synth programmer. :-)
