DX5 Playing RAF "Self Control" (Laura Branigan vers).

[@scavenom2008]

This is the beauty of an FM synth.

[@DX5]

Indeed. The beast should be the infamous E.Piano 1 ballad preset :)

[@scavenom2008]

@@DX5 thanks my friend. I've been a fan of yours since your early days in this platform and big DM mode fan and of music in general. My suggestion to you is you should play some tracks from Rammstein as they are very melodic and powerful. Have a great one sir.

Esta belleza de sonido lo hizo Harold Faltermeyer para Laura Branigan... Faltermeyer dominaba muy bien la electrónica HI-NRG & Synthpop matriz del EDM Concreto que inicia Giorgio Moroder.

80's synth era was awesome. I was particularly obsessed with the 80's in early 2000s when i was like 13, 14 years old, because at that time, I just started discovering that era of music . Of course, I knew many of 80's classics already, but was much more familiar with the 90's, considering that I was born in '87. Remember watching all the time popular Serbian tv station that played a lot 80's and 90's music videos along with stuff that was popular/mainstream at the time. Good times. These days music is, sadly, less inspiring, everything is about shock value, singers with naked asses under the lame "pushing boundaries" excuse. Not to mention that everything is based on sampling old stuff, stealing, there is nothing fresh and exciting. It's just horrible. This cover of Self Control is amazing!❤

Noooo, not Laura Brannigan's vastly inferior cover version! Raf's original version is the only real one! Only teasing, good job as always!

I am more into that DX7 bassline from Branigan's version (with Harold Faltermeyer sound design if I recall correct).

I just happened to find this video when searching for the history of classic synthesizers and their use in my favorite tracks of all time! I am researching & learning more about Synthesis and the hardware. I have the Software Plug-in versions & a DAW as I don’t have very much room or the budget for Hardware counterparts. I have the DX7-V plugin from Arturia (based on the classic DX-7 FM Synth) from back in the day. This sounds so much like the track from Laura Brannigan, I wonder if the app Shazzam would recognize it even 🤔… Great work!!

[@LGJoe88]

@@DX5 that's right I think, but in the Branigan's version, I remember the keyboardist was a german musician, then I think he used a keyboard from a german studio, with the standard german sounds.

Hi! The bells sound great; I'd love to use them myself. Are they just the standard "TUB BELLS" DX7 patch? Perhaps I'm imagining it, but yours sound cleaner somehow, maybe a bit less inharmonic than the preset ones?

[@DX5]

Mine sound bit different than the Tub Bells sound. I started from a different patch and edited it heavily in order to get this kind of timbre.
