It's definitely one of those albums that you want to listen to from start to finish. Glad you enjoyed my cover version and many thanks for commenting. All the best, David 🎹🎸🎶👍
@@DavidGordonJDXi Now I feel really bad for asking this but regarding digital synth 2 on part 2 you got a really nice smooth sound while mine is kind of bland, did you use any effects or mastering or maybe switched the portamento settings? Again I'm sorry for asking but I cant figure it on my own and it sounds so great I just had to ask..
Hi Lloyd, thanks for your question. I've just been checking the sequence on my JD-Xi and as far as I can tell, I used the default Syn Brass 1 voice for that part (238). I compared the part in the sequence with the default and it sounds identical to me! On my JD-Xi, this voice has reverb, delay and Effect 2 is set to flanger. The flanging time is very long. i.e if you hold a note down, it takes a few seconds before the sound changes. There is quite a lot of delay and reverb too. Also, I've just noticed that it's set up one octave... I don't think I mentioned that in the video. Hopefully, this may do the trick for you. All the best, David 👍
Hello David, very good job, crystal clear to me. I've just done it from your video, using a DAW (Cakewalk by Bandlab) on a MiniNova (Bass C043) and TD-3, both for the bassline (to add a tad of growl to it) and a Behringer RD-6 for the drums. Bonuses are both TD-3 and RD-6 have what sounds like a Boss DS-1 distortion onboard ;-)
That's excellent Francois! Glad to hear that you found my video useful and adapted it for your instruments. You should try out some more of my tutorials! Thanks for getting in touch and I wish you all the best, David 🎹🎶👍
@@DavidGordonJDXi I know, I have one and have created more music in the time I've had it than in the last 30 years. I'm always blown away by how similar the pre-sets can sound, to the original songs. Obviously there are limits but its an amazingly versatile synth. I'm very impressed at the work that it must have taken to do something like this, not sure I'd have the will power myself. I'm going have to check out some more of your videos now.
Thanks a lot for the great videos. I like to learn things by doing. So I learn from you much more than from the instructional videos on the jd-xi (which I own but didn’t come to use its full potential yet).
I really appreciate your taking the time to leave me such a great comment. I'm so pleased that you find my videos helpful and I hope they'll increase your enjoyment of this great little synth. All the best, David 🎹🎶👍
This is so good, I am using your video to recreate this in Ableton Live. Please keep the DM videos coming and anything else 80s! You will have a fan for life!
The JDXI is a fantastic tool. It covers practically all the electronic classics. Mine is well used. Still after years of almost daily use it’s as reliable as the day it was delivered. I love your vids Dave. Are or were you a teacher or similar? Your very good at the composition of a vid. Well constructed, detailed & great entertainment. Thank You
Thank you for your great comments - please let me know your name. I'm so lucky to be able to leave my equipment set up and find it a wonderful way of unwinding, just to sit and play. I was a trainer in a previous job and always enjoyed passing on knowledge to others. Thanks for asking ☺️ I'm so pleased that you are enjoying my videos and hope to make some more soon. All the best, David 🎶😎👍
Hello David, I just wanted to let you know you have the greatest highly detailed instructional videos. So much detail. I'm not a keyboardist but think about picking one up. I like this crossover synth with all its functions. I haven't seen anything like it at it's price point. I am interested in the IK multimedia uno pro keyboard similar but I don't think it has drum tones. I just subscribed to your channel looking forward to more videos like this.
Hello Preston, thank you for taking the time to leave such a great comment and subscribing to my channel, it's very much appreciated. I have been very pleased with my JD-Xi, it is such a versatile little instrument as you've probably seen in some of my videos. I wouldn't recommend it for anyone heavy handed as it's build quality isn't that great and I've heard of people breaking keys. I mainly use mine to program sequences and any playing is done with the key velocity off. Hope to make some new videos soon. All the best, David 🎸🎶👍
The perfect song you should recreate David is tainted love soft cell....I would love to see how that comes out on the jd xi.....I'm still waiting to get mine..so can't wait
Hi David could you give me some advice please do you have to delete a programme to create a programme for this song I'm having trouble putting it in my jdxi any advice would be welcome
Hi Andy, sorry to hear that you're having a problem saving a programme. You shouldn't have to delete any unless you have used up all the available memory slots. All of the user slots start at location E01. Make sure that you're not trying to save to one of the factory presets that start at A01. Hope that helps. Let me know how you get on? All the best, David 🎹🎶👍
Hi David, just love the vids and all the info in them. Question, since im not a pro on the JD-Xi. You use favourites for the sequenses, the are as i understand mapped to saves patches in the banks right? When you have say the drums all alike, can you copy a patch/sequense to a new, keeping the drums, and do changes to the other instrument? Hope you understand my question :)
Hi there! Yes, you can. For example, if you create a sequence of synths and drums which you save on G1, you can save the exact same sequence on G2 G3 G4 etc. You can then edit the synth parts or drum parts accordingly. The nice thing is that any changes to the tones/filters etc will also be saved. Many thanks for commenting 👍 All the best, David 🎸🎶👍
Love the video Dave as I have just purchased on and have tried to follow on how to do this Depeche track but came stuck on how to play the sequencer parts 1 - 4 as a chain any help would be appreciated .
@@DavidGordonJDXi Hello Dave a huge thanks for replying, I have stored into favourites each part sequence but having problems on creating it as you did in video when combining /playing all the sequences.Regards Lloyd
@@DavidGordonJDXi Good Evening David I hope all is well and just letting you know that I went on the Roland forum for answers and all is ok now it got me beat as I am new to the hidden tricks of the jd-xi .Now onto another favourite which you have done and that is The Persuaders Theme.Warm regards Lloyd
Hi Lloyd, all's well here and I'm glad to hear that you managed to solve the issue. I'm interested in what you found and if you have time, perhaps you'd let me know? All the best, David 🎶👍
Hi David tcould you please let me know what the sequence nos are for the first pattern on its no good c g and b flat I'd be really grateful thanks Andy
Hi Andy, before I tell you try pausing the video at the part of the video where I'm talking about the sequence. You should be able to count the sequence positions and work it out. Give it a go. But if you're really stuck I'll be happy to tell you.
Hi Andy, not a problem. The notes and sequence positions are: C,1. G,3. Bb,5. C,7. G,8. Bb,10. C,12. G,13. Bb, 15. Use the step recorder and key hold as I've shown in previous videos. Let me know how you get on All the best, David 👍
Dang man! That sounds sooooooo good! I remember getting that cd. It think its great front to rear. The more I hear from this synth the more I like it.
It's definitely one of those albums that you want to listen to from start to finish. Glad you enjoyed my cover version and many thanks for commenting. All the best, David 🎹🎸🎶👍
Well done, I'm lovin Depeche Mode ❤️
Thanks Guntmar, they have to be one of the best electronic music bands - all the best, David👍
