So I love this track way back in the year, well I was just entering high school and it was a while back. Anyway, back to the subject, this track. I am working on the singing the vocal stem track part as I think I want to throw some really skrillex style dustep. This one and "The Promise", by When In Rome or any Depeche Mode track. Really I believe with a modern touch, re-track the vocals or add another verse/hook/break something that really brings back the feel and words, melody but then drops it hard and flared out with today's atmosphere and sound manipulation which was seen as synthetic noise or lacking of substance, I believe this could be a really dope as F**k remixed track

You missed the dx7 flute out during the main riff

Great job! Exactly the patch I was looking for :) Question though: were you using a physical keyboard with this? Asking because: I'm using Arturia KeyLab mkii 61 to drive ALab presets. Found that with the bass preset you used (from DX7): I have to hit physical keys pretty hard to get that zing on top. If not - zing is not there => does not sound like the original. Is this 1)my mkii overall velocity sensitivity? or 2)this specific preset's parameter? If #2: do you by chance know how to tweak it?

I downloaded the arturis demo. Unless you put the envelope type in ADSR mode not DX7 mode, there are no attack settings on the bass envelopes. So what are you talking about ? The RomA1 15-1 Bass1 patch sounds nothing like yours out of the box EDIT: i worked it out. Are you a mouse drag and drop keyboard player? The metalic slap bass timbre only cuts through if turn off velocity sensitivity to 0. Or midi keyboard set velocity curve to fixed volume with a bit of lift in the mod. Otherwise when playing it sounds nothing like it unless you smash the keys down really hard.
