DX5 Playing Trans X "Living on Video"

Rendition to one of the most influential disco tracks ever.
Recorded at first shot, therefore some mistakes can be found.
Gear used:
Emu Emax: Filtered lead (sampled from the JP8000).
Roland JP8000: left hand bass sequence (yes, I like to suffer playing live :) and right hand triangle lead/ saw solo (done my own way).
Roland Promars MRS-2: Bassline (triggered from Pro Tools, so I could tweak faders and knobs)
--- Backtrack previously recorded on Pro Tools including:
--- Arturia Jupiter 8V for the arpeggio style background sound).
--- Casio VL-1
Song composed by Pascal Languirand.
Performed here by DX5 Jose Maria Bara.

Impressive my friend. Great job ... blows my mind how 2 hands can play separate beats like that (I’m obviously not a musician). Brought back memories. Thanks. :)

Saludos cordiales, Muy buén trabajo.

[@korelly]

J'ai commencé à l'apprendre. Mais c'est difficile avec mon clavier à touches lourdes. J'ai le Korg SP-200 qui reproduit la texture des touches d'un vrai piano. Quand on s'habitue à jouer seulement sur des claviers à touches légères, quand on arrive sur un vrai piano, même les chansons qu'on savait jouer, on a plus de misère à les jouer car on trouve les touches trop dures et les muscles des doigts sont désorientés. Sur ce, good job man!

[@bananekrumm]

Well we’ll done! I remember this sound @ about 1983 ???

[@joserodriguez6561]

[@olivierdavid69]

without arpeggiator ! brilliant

[@DX5]

Just only on the Promars part. Otherwise, bass manually done :)

[@adamwheeldon]

awsome 👍👍👍👍

[@marciomonteiro5055]

The best

[@yaseminkadioglu1979]

Nice 👍🏼😊

[@erichrosenberger8229]

Im Intro und im Refreash wäre auch leichten Hall gut gewesen.

[@edgarloureiro3027]

Almos perfect, it lacks the girl dancing :-D

[@nikkyflatter]

Ooohhhh great

[@Ingo1012000]

TOP...

[@sopamarucha2388]

No way in hell would i be able to do that lol

[@johnanthonydiaz6133]

Excelente

[@DX5]

Thanks John.

[@erichrosenberger8229]

wenn der Organ Ton leichten Hall hätte würde er noch besser klingen. Weil der Organ klingt mit den anderen Tönen bisschen wie ein Fremdkörper.

[@tomtomek5164]

Cooooooooool😎

[@blenderbachcgi]

This camera must stay!

[@DjStalin100]

I can play this song too. I have a technics 1200 MK2 and the 12 inch single..😂😂

[@DX5]

I should have entitled this "Performing" rather than "Playing" :)

[@HangoverTelevision]

I rather would like to know where the FX-effects come from, the ones sounding like an UFO and stuff. ô.o

[@DX5]

There are different across the song. They were made by me. Some LFO and portamento were used.

[@HangoverTelevision]

@@DX5 hmmmh oki guess I'll never get a chance to recreate them. Don't have analogue synths (nor am I interested in ever getting one) nor do I have Android/iOS-devices for downloading apps XD But I so really would like to use something like these kind of sounds in the current song I'm working on :(

[@DX5]

@@HangoverTelevision There should be plenty of copyright free FX available on the net. Try to do a search.

[@HangoverTelevision]

@@DX5 yea well but I want it to sound individually, ya know...

[@DX5]

@@HangoverTelevision I meant that. Isolated effects. Some should be available for sure.

[@joshmick6476]

Can you play your woman by white towne?

[@DX5]

Did you know that White Town itself (Jyoti Mishra) once told me he would like to hear my cover? It is a pending subject. Hope I can record it soon.

[@neworder80]

italo disco

[@DX5]

They are canadian moreover, but the drum pattern is quite similar to italo dance (Though the song is more NRG oriented).

[@neworder80]

Eso queria decir drum pater italo..

[@drecksheep]

Stop, is this reality? ;-)

[@MonoChorMe]

...Only through the computer interface 😜 Hehehe

[@sovereign2661]

But you fly in balls, ... you don't play anything, press so - more / less ... everything goes - live, from a floppy disk (ha-ha-ha) very funny. The question is whether ... all this - from the beginning of the channel - was it only a pantomime theater? Unbelievable: the sounds could have been with Komplete Arturia, and the video keys could have been Kawai K1 and Yamaha Electone ... :)

[@DX5]

Yes, I will sell all my gear (including the Promars) and buy a Electone then. Thanks for the suggestion.

[@arainla]

Love this!!!
