DX5 Playing a-ha "Take on Me"

[@mr.disney4740]

Finally someone who plays it right ...doing intro correctly & time changes!😊

[@DX5]

Not so good at keeping finger timing though :). Thanks!

[@rj8mp]

This is sooooo cool! Love that DX7 all over the song, specially that iconic bass preset. Great job José!

[@kefmif]

Another great DM cover artst 😱

[@Ikasaswarrior]

Fanstastic just took me back to time in the 80’s were music was so....beautiful,fun, energetic and peaceful. Those were amazing and happy times of my life. Music is everything to me. I love techno, electronic pop. I love the keyboard music sound, can listen to this all day long. Thank you!!!!!!!

[@jaycee30865]

Wait don’t you love Cardi B and Nicki Minaj?

[@Ikasaswarrior]

@@jaycee30865 🙋🏻‍♀️ I do but my 🎶 era is definitely the 80’s. I do like present time 🎶. Every stage of 🎶 is appealing but the 80’s open a new sound of music🙌

[@jaycee30865]

@@Ikasaswarrior I was kidding. Those idiots talk. They are not musicians. They don’t make music.

[@80ssynthfan48]

This is really good.

[@josehortencio8672]

Please, made more covers of A-ha!!!

[@VampireMortis]

Amazing!!!’

[@Batsinthebelltower]

Superb sounds and playing !

[@QVAlfista]

Ah yes the LEGENDARY Yamaha DX7 Bass heard on countless '80s like this one, Danger Zone, Man in Motion, Another Part of Me, When I Think of You...and the list goes on and On and ON!

[@BenAngMusic]

I love that your covers highlight all the other beautiful synth parts that we forget because the main riff is so iconic

[@robertoencinas1478]

Sos un genio es uno de los mejores cover que e escuchado, y con un Dx7 mejor, un sucesor de georgio Moroders. Saludos de Argentina ♥️🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷.

[@DX5]

Abrazo fuerte a Argentina, Roberto. En la original, A-ha usaron el Juno 60, hasta donde sé. Pero el DX hace bien el trabajo.

[@UserOfTheUnknown]

Another excellent classic cover. DX5 please keep up the good work. I always watch the live stream on Saturday night.

[@deltaoned1]

Fantastic. Great to recreate in your home these classic 80's tunes. Very talented. Thank you for sharing with us.

[@riksentenza]

Good performance. 👍

Nice love the sound brings back memories of music class in the 80s gone are the good ole days. But music lives on. Keep on jamming great tone awesome job on this song.

Ese DX-7 es magia pura. Felicidades.

[@DX5]

Gracias. El DX7 es peculiar, pero capaz de sonidos interesantes.

[@Recatilsupremo]

🤩Yamaha dx7!la vera,il modello originale dove hanno fatto ka musica🎉🎉beautiful

[@DX5]

I think they really used the JUNO60 for the lead, but the DX does the job as well :)

[@moga1968]

מתגעגע אלייך תל אביב.. שנות ה 80.... לרוץ לאוטו, פול ווליום.. missing to you Tel Aviv.. and 80' run to my car, with full Volume.. A Ha Forever..

Very good job! A classic played on a classic synth!

You’ve been making me smile since 2009. Thank you.

[@frankherold73]

Can i please have this Solo Sound for the DX 7? I have a DX 7 II FD. Greetings from Germany👍🎶

[@DX5]

Hello!: I am sorry, but I don't share or sell my sounds. It took me a lot of time for getting them programmed.

[@scottptolomey3498]

It was never used on a DX7 it was a Roland Juno 106 DX7 was for the bass line not the riff

[@mjwalters8394]

main riff was juno 60 NOT 106

[@julien23lastchristmas2]

DX7 the best for ever ❤👍

[@milaktron]

Very nice !

[@christopherdelasoupe928]

A large group that can make a very synthetic sound and also a very rock sound🎵🤔🙂Thank you Jose🙏🏻I recommend the title ''i thought it was you'', José...Very nice song by the group A-ha.🎵

[@staceycaldwell5959]

I have a serious question I'm used to two keyboard having to set up memory points to get same results as you do can I ask the set up equipment as never tries using three one song

[@DX5]

Hi Stacey. I think I didn't get the question exactly. When you say you set memory points, do you mean keyboard split points?.

[@staceycaldwell5959]

Yeah split points to get mores sounds like from echo voices to another I'm not good explaining technical terms in messages sorry if confusing I'm a computer engineer played guitar dance 14 keyboard I play by seeing or hearing

[@staceycaldwell5959]

Oh and should say sorry I'm using my partners u tube I'm Colin Anderson she let's me use this so less passwords for me to remember

[@DX5]

@@staceycaldwell5959 No prob, Colin. in this case, I used two fixed voices on those left synths, and different voices on the DX7 (right), using memory switches from time to time. Anyway, In case you might need to allocate different sounds on a splitted keyboard you can go for a synth with split capabilities or a Sampler, where you can allocate any sound from any source or synth on any key allocation.

[@staceycaldwell5959]

Thanks for the information there appreciated

[@tapagipetecladista5888]

Muito bom!!! Parabéns! Você me mandaria o arquivo sysex som usado na hora do solo? Obrigado!

I would like to say that your are living my dream! Playing synthetiser like this. Keep your good works! Thumbs up from Montreal! :)

[@JFTORES]

El Riff original se hizo con dos presets, uno de DX7 y otro de Juno 60

[@c.7959]

I've never been able to hit that highest note "in a day or TWO lol" Bloody loving this as well. Please Please get in touch. Wherever you are I will come. (when covid goes) I've had a great night listening to your stuff. 😁😎. Not been to bed yet.

[@angellopez1163]

Hi, awesome cover, could you tellme whats the arpegiator or efect at 2:00??? Thnks!!!!

[@DX5]

Hello. Those are ascending and descending scaled notes. Don't recall the exact notes though (I play/record by ear, not a trained musician). I sequenced them manually.

@@DX5 qué buen trabajo... Ya te habrán pedido mil veces, podrías incluir aquí o en la descripción los parámetros del lead riff del DX7?

Gracias, Minigrok. No incluyo nunca en detalle los settings de los sonidos que hago (salvo a veces en directos). De todas formas, los parámetros para un sonido FM en un DX7 son muchos. No cabrían en un comentario :)

[@victorsegura9569]

Muy buena ejecucion exelente musica un clasico

Muchas gracias, Víctor.

Nice 😍 What is the preset you're using for the main synth melody? An organ ?

No, It is not a preset. I programmed it.

I am sorry, Fernando. I don't share or trade sounds. I spend a lot of time programming them.

@@DX5 so it means you sell it?
