[@MOSHERONEN-OFFICIAL]

I cant tell how much happines im having from your work...tnx a lote

[@eluherlu]

Yeah, his musicality and personality makes the video enjoyable, even if I don't really interested in the product sometimes haha

[@aleksandari.7834]

@@eluherlu Why did I read "masculinity" instead of "musicality"... I have to recheck my preferences.

[@Hansepans68]

Everything She Wants!.. WHAM! Classic!

[@carloscruzramos3556]

Pure shit

[@SuperbonyTheCat]

😻 6:06 Yeah , thats it is 😻

[@DaveToneMusic]

Claudio you're a joy to behold! Your love for what you do is infectious, reminds me of all the reasons I love music and the joy it brings. Congratulations on whatever your big surprise is, look forward to hearing all about it!

[@Doctormix]

Thanks! I can’t wait to scream it to the world.. I have to be patient before revealing

[@cresshead]

@@Doctormix that was you're new studio space getting the green light i think!

[@foxholeartist]

I swear I keep watching this channel mostly because of your charisma and energy.

[@svenlindroos8830]

Holy moly! I had one of these 26 years ago! Got it at a second hand shop, still have cassette tape demos of me using it!

[@rodmoyes80s]

That machine was the centerpiece of my rig for a few years. Love it!

[@Inm11]

THIS STUDIO IS A DREAM !!! DR MIX IS THE BEST !

[@DJ279V]

I have come to the realization that vintage drum machines have some of the best punch in their older sounds. Enjoy and thanks for sharing!!

[@djGreenALERT]

LMAO at Claudio' throwing the box in the air. It just reminded me when I thought I'd be clever trying out a new set of nun chukas in the living room. Bits of chandelier went everywhere with Mum screaming at me.. Ahh to be 17 again!

[@Doctormix]

Hahahahha

[@rightway-records]

Bro…u relentlessly bring joy to life !!!

[@iqi616]

5:00 - the mark of a good drum machine, inspiration to play!

[@benkovrishkin8956]

Claudio u get me going bro. You aren’t afraid to just put all your time and resources into music. What u do is amazing and under appreciated I wish more people would sub to your Chanel u deserve it man 👨

[@Doctormix]

Awww thanks man!!! 🙏🕺❤️

[@macdaddybender]

My initial thought from the video was that you were going to accidentally slice up the nice chesterfield sofa with the knife when you were rushing to get the box open! :) - great video. That old drum machine sounded amazing

[@kirabarsmith9353]

You had me bobbing my head with the impromptu Wham! jam. Great to see such a wonderful collection of instruments find their way into a real musician's studio, inspiring stuff!

[@markhamburg5535]

I had one of these in the late 1980s. It’s definitely worth spending some time with the manual to learn how to record parameter animation. I ended up selling mine because my MIDI sequencer would cause it to crash.

[@arturmangolim9385]

I love that Rhodes of yours.

[@sweepersmusic]

dude....so sick. I have the DDD-5 and it is the king, second only to my MPC. The best thing about it is I got it for free and it worked, albeit with the buttons all painted over in glitter. Gives it character, right ?

[@Doctormix]

It’s got a great character

[@LS-pv4dh]

Random customization!!!

[@lovemadeinjapan]

Love the DDD-5. It is both more and less than the DDD-1. You loose the individual outs, you loose the silver paint (which is not a miss: amazing how it looks here, it is usually really beaten up), you loose 3 PCM ROM slots, you might loose sampling (some DDD-1's have that expansion), but you gain better looks, great built in patterns, a better selection of built-in samples and more built in samples (twice the ROM size), and the super fun theme expansions with both PCM data and patterns.

[@ashitanojoe69]

As I'm japanese, I used to enjoy with this model in local instrument store when it's on sale. This model DDD1 and DDD5 came with super cool demo track made by KORG. That track was made using the maximum potential and capability of both models with sample sound and chop bass sound... However, I've never founded that demo track here in youtube. The problem was that the demo track was delietable for get free space in their inside memory. So the owners delieted that track.. I'l keep looking for it.

[@TheBroDotTV]

Just got myself a Korg DDD5!!! Booyah.

[@irishmusico]

I love that drum machine. Such a cool machine all these years later.

[@MixedByDotRob]

Yeaaaah! I had one in the late 80s! Loved it! It disappeared some studio moves ago ...

[@EBHawellsGames]

The dying clap sound from hell had me laughing in tears! 😂

[@bembeleee]

I love this. Nobody else is doing this . Nice to see reviewing older stuff

[@sfleeee]

Search 'bad gear', and you'll find a guy who is doing is this pretty well!

[@LS-pv4dh]

Maaaan i miss this machine. The folks who taught me how to maneuver around the studio had this triggering the akai s950. Dope combo. Then they gave me the drum machine. I made tons of magic on it with its 2 1 sec samplers. Lol

[@carlbowles1808]

Sounds great, is great. Thanks Claudio for the 80's sounds I feel better.

[@twitchbook-1]

I like the way you hook up the oscilloscope

[@Chekmate99]

“Will it power on...”. I know that exact feeling every time I buy something online.

[@musicstudynetwork]

I used to work at Korg when this thing came out. It had a bunch of ram cards you could use as well.

[@cresshead]

i used to have the 808 card, still have the rock kit card and the ddd1

[@Doctormix]

Uhh nice Thomas! Curious to hear more about it from u 🤟🙏

[@teffsly]

I love my DDD-1, had it for years!

[@djbonne1]

it's a great feeling to open a new device

[@neddo66]

So quick so easy so effortless so fantastic so wow

[@SilverPlatedBoy]

Oh man. I got one of these in 1986 when they first came out

[@willryt]

Superb - and off the back of a stupendous live set at the weekend! KZbin should let me like this more than once :))))

[@tobydurrant4035]

You are so talented Doctor Mix - I love your videos and thank you for sharing them.

[@exho_oooo]

It’s a wild pulse from the future here to congratulate you on your NEW STUDIO!!!!!

[@Gabri_dj79]

Ciao da Parma italy 🇮🇹♥️i love u work

[@PREEM513]

6:36 you asked a question and the answer is Everything she wants by Wham. Thanks Claudio.

[@donaldpriola1807]

Let's see...Korg, Unboxing, and Fun. I'm in! You make me feel better about my terrible drum machine habit.

[@microbug3487]

The compartment on the bottom is for the battery of the optional but rare sampling board

[@ryota_jack]

It is Teddy Riley’s favorite drum machine. He used early NJS productions.

[@woodyharleyson5352]

Claudio Always throws down tasty keys in his vids, would love to get a breakdown of what he's playing. Love that first chord progression

[@artikal]

Pretty sure first one was owner of a lonely heart by Yes

[@woodyharleyson5352]

@@artikal those were the lyrics, the playing doesn't sound anything like it too my ears... Different inversions or something?

[@ALTARBEATZ]

THAT JUST MADE ME HAPPY!!! IN TROUBLED TIMEZ.. LOVE YOUR VIDS!!!

[@DonElevation]

This is dope DR Mix!!

[@TonyThomas10000]

I had one of those back in the day...along with tons of other hardware synths, rack modules, and other toys.

[@AntonioRockGP]

The fun your having is contagious! Very nice.

[@spektrum8740]

Hi Doctor Mix, Please don't forget to repair the MINIPOPS and do a video about it, I want to hear the sound of Oxygene !!! Thank you, I love you !

[@Doctormix]

yayyyy!!

[@lavishjaat]

@@Doctormix Can you recreate that Laser Harp sound from Second Rendez Vous?

[@christiaantinga]

From 1:18... really nice David Attenborough style commentary. Hahahaha

Cool... 😎👍 The Doc is getting more new toys I'm a guessing 😁

[@rodrigoalgarte7872]

If I ever come to London, I would really love to meet your studio and, maybe, take some birras with you. Keep the good work, Claudio. You are an inspiration to me.

[@rcs2003]

That Moog bass sounds awesome!!

[@daishoryujin95]

Interesting and cool.

[@viruzvergara]

I love your content.

[@CaidicusProductions]

Your videos are just SO FUN!

[@lundsweden]

Its funny to think Claudio has a mega expensive TR-808, yet is having fun on this $100 Euro drum machine that is completely unloved, even by its Mother! To my ear, its similar sounding to the Roland TR505, 626, 707 and CR-1000 digital drum machines of the mid-80s.

[@piotrprzybycien]

Love you doctor mix

[@Doctormix]

Love u back!

[@user-iv8su3qm2k]

Doktor mix super!!!

[@lavishjaat]

Thank God. Now you own a Korg instrument.

[@josesegura2090]

Got to love Hall and Oates! 🎼🎹🎵💃🕺🎶🎺🎷🥁🎸

[@JeroendeHaan]

Had that one with some rom cards. Great machine.

[@cien1975]

I still have mine. A very nice feature is that you can tweak some parameters like pitch or decay while the patterns are playing. I think you could even record it to the pattern, if I remember correctly. I used this a lot in the mid-1990's. There was also an option to get a sampling-board for it, but I never saw one in real life. And there is a matching sequencer SQD-1 - they look nice side-by-side.

[@KC9UDX]

I've seen the sampler. But I couldn't afford it. 😣

[@AlexBallMusic]

Haha, love how you burst into a groove seemlessly and then ask "what is this?" Btw - a very talented guy called Don Muro demonstrated a lot of Korg stuff back in the day. Here's him performing live with the DDD-1 in 1987. kzbin.info/www/bejne/j36qlZyFe6yLfNU

[@DarkSideofSynth]

Oooh, that's pure '80s bliss! Octave basslines with his feet: tonnes of respect ;) Thanks for the tip.

[@hihat2723]

Was it an excisting song he was playing? It souns great! It's probably just a groove, but the bit on the juno sounds familiar

[@AlexBallMusic]

@@hihat2723 Yes, Don writes all his own music. It's a goldmine in fact. Check out "Unending Highway" if you get a chance as it's one of my favourite tracks by him. This was a version of his track "Whistler" and the original is here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nWO0hmmMnNGHZ7M

[@beatchef]

@@hihat2723 It's 'Everything She Wants' by Wham

[@jergervasi9479]

Don Muro was on the Korg development team, and wrote lots of the included demos, like “Ms. Muro” in the Korg M1 (named after his wife). Awesome guy, too.

[@BenedictRoffMarsh]

I used to use the DDD1 samples I had on some discs that came with my Emu Emax I a lot. Urban myth had it that the discs were part of the collection owned by Boxcar.

[@eddielozada3694]

Just great. Very very fun to watch! Thanks!

[@earthstrong7855]

you make music so fun bro, an inspiration thanks for your vids, and you got all the cool toys man ha!

My how far technology has come. More drums on an SD card vs that thing 😂 gotta love music tech

[@MartinCraneRockbeast]

I also scored its little brother recently. The DDD-5.

[@dykodesigns]

The tuning of the cymbals/hi hat reminds of a sound I’ve heard in the music of a Super Nintendo game called X-caliber 2097. The game had music from Psykosonic.

[@Doctormix]

Yeah very lo fi

[@HalonOfficial]

great sounding drummachine!

[@transkin1990]

I have a question is that machine midi capable like if I bring it to my synthesizers it will control my synthesizers with the beat?

[@netako]

Fun fact: The London drum machine on Korg Gadget actually reuses the DDD-1 drum sounds!

[@Luigi1984]

haha you're crazy man ! have some fun like the test at 5:52 (Wham - Everything she wants)

[@mariushouschyar9077]

[@bakwoodzbeats]

Yeah I have one you have to turn it on and off till the screen show the stuff on the screen and to get my cards to work as well

[@detroitineffect]

By any chance did you get lucky and get it with the sampler board installed already? If so, you have really hit the jackpot!!! The board is installed through the back, behind that long panel with the 2 screws, F-6 and button 5 will let you know!

[@Doctormix]

I have no idea! I doubt but I’ll check. Thanks! ❤️

[@sabre22b]

In case no one had said it for 30 seconds.... More cowbell.

[@npcstewart1441]

The DDD-1 is so underrated. It is worth tracking down some of the ROM cards like the Bass Drum & Handclaps as the stock bass & clap sounds are a bit crap. The Latin ROMs are great too. I've got two, one with the DSB-1 sampling board (a bit like the Casio RZ-1) & I'm hoping to get the other circuitbent. One of the best sounding circuit bendable machines imho, along with the Roland TR-626.

[@n00b22]
