I've watched a lot of covers of this song and while they are always impressive, I think you've nailed it rhythmically better than anyone else. Very tight and played with passion, just as it should be!

Spot On!

[@daverogers3566]

I enjoyed that immensely. Amazed that you have worked it all out by ear. Spot on.

[@danvitco771]

Thank you. 98% of it was by ear, Lol

[@socal515]

Not only was every single note SPOT ON perfect, the fact that Dan did this in only one take...meaning no splices from multiple recordings...is probably the most phenomenal part of this entire performance. I mean...lots of proficient keyboard players can hit the right notes "most" of the time. But to flawlessly put together a 7 minute consecutive recording where you don't ever hit one wrong note even once...and your rhythm, tempo and nuances are 100% perfectly in sync to Banks' original recordings...is truly the sign of a magnificent talent. Well done!

[@danvitco771]

Thanks Oded. The MOXF6 is a veritable Swiss army knife. With an optional flash board installed, it can cover just about anything. Using the PC/Mac editor goes a long way in editing your own sounds.

Nonsense. Have another listen and come back when you know what you're talking about. Banks plays exactly the same (correct) notes here at 9:38' kzbin.info/www/bejne/lWKVkGCgr9aCoqc. Dan does a great job but would be even better with the extra notes.

Fair enough if you don't agree. I've played 3SL version hundreds of times and just listened again to make sure. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pJCtfmefZax5ZqM.

Might be worth slowing it down to half speed at 58:10. I'll leave it to you to decide. Great version though Dan and I'm only trying to assist. Cheers.

[@Five2_Bravo]

How did you get the pro soloist patches? Are they available in the Yamaha synthesizer? What mode is it by the way?

[@danvitco771]

It’s in song mode. After programming some of the pro soloist patches in Voice mode, song mode gives you an extra filtering option for each patch. This helps dial in certain tones very close to a Pro Soloist. Also, MOXF6 Editor (Mac Version) helped in the editing process.

[@danvitco771]

Here’s a better example of utilizing a second VCF in song mode: 📸 Watch this video on Facebook facebook.com/share/v/yU6amQf6WBSPbHY9/?mibextid=KsPBc6

Sorry, was typing on a phone. I meant to say "model". But you answered. It's a MOXF6.

@@danvitco771 Dan, so you're able to achieve the different voicings of the Pro Soloist natively in the MODFX? I'm looking at Yamaha MX61, and it seems to have all the same capabilities of your MODFX, and I see there's some downloadable custom patches available. I'm just afraid to pull the trigger on it, then find out I can't get close to the Pro Soloist voices. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I was a guitar player for many years, and keyboards is a new thing for me.

too bad you didn't keep the camera focused in front of the keys so people could see what notes you're playing..some of us beginners could use the help..this is why people say its hard to find good instructional videos on songs they'd like to learn because camera work rarely has an aerial view of the board to clearly see notes..its either from some side angle or other where its impossible to make out what is being played..unless of course the uploader made it that way intentionally lol
