    I love my dx7. It’s the goat of synthesizer and it’s apart of almost every pop song in the 80s. It’s still used till this day.

    This is actually the best video I could find regarding the sounds.
    I was playing around with the prophet 5 and I had made a sound that it very similar to the one in the song and had a nice filter sustain and it lacked a bit of punch so I am going to go and layer on a dx7 to it.
    Amazing video, Keep up the good work.

    Damn this is just spot on! Annoying question but what is the little Arp intro you used, that sounds identical? I read that it was two DX7s layers but yours sounds way closer. Also what the processing on that AG 2 track, it sounds almost synth like?

    • @blakecross113
      @blakecross113  Рік тому

      You have no idea how long it took to make that intro synth lol. I ended up using a JP-8000 sample from omnisphere to get the closest sound. Because the history is so spotty I found that it was near impossible to get the exact sounds using the listed synths on the track. So I experimented with other synths that could have been around at the same time.
      As per the Acoustic processing, you can see at 2:34 that it's pretty typical up until you get to the doubler plugin. That really that magic sound of this track.
      Hope that helps!

      Thank you! It's actually because the song was sped up during the mastering so the timing fluctuates due to the varispeed on tape. That is also why it's not quite in D or Eb but somewhere in between.
