How to get rich, lush piano sound on Yamaha DX7

[@persona83]

Your videos are cool and well explained but you may be the only one musical producer on KZbin that teaches using free plugins. I can't thank you enough for that. 👍👍

[@ElianaDAngelo]

I normally use slate but also want to show that free stuff is still great and that I use it too.

[@AlexNes]

I also highly recommend SQ8L which, like Dexed, is a freeware, complete reverse-engineered synth with a beautiful 80s sound. In SQ8L's case it is the Ensoniq SQ80. It is a wavetable synth, quite tricky learn though :) (but not as difficult as Dexed or FM synthesis in general)

As a kid from the 80s I love the way how you explain all the Prozess of producing that 80s style. Please don’t stop❤

[@Buckleupbucko]

This channel is a fucking gem.

[@musicbyflipper]

please dont stop these, they are so helpful!

[@ChrisCommisso]

I luv all these 80s tutorials you're sharing over here on YT Eliana!!! :)

[@ElianaDAngelo]

Thanks glad to hear!

[@JJ-vp3bd]

Best on KZbin. Chill and easy going .

[@BlizzyMez]

amazing, just discovered your channel half an hour ago, love how in depth everything here is, i've always wanted tutorials like this. i've used VSTs like Dexed and OBx-d for years, but never really felt satifisfied with anything i'd made with them. never knew the fundamentals of compression/EQ on sounds like the e.piano etc. great channel, will definitely recommend this to some pals

[@damonsummers]

After 35 years still love that sound

[@cgormley11]

The knowledge you impart in your videos is excellent for all us home studio musicians wanting to create music with a DAW and virtual instruments. Thank you so much for all the work you put into your videos !

[@tsg_frank5829]

Gotta appreciate the effort in providing resources with the information to utilize them, genuinely helpful stuff

[@gyangarciaavila9416]

I am enjoying and getting so much out of these 80s early 90s videos you are making. Keep up the good work sister!

[@Jawnsonproducer]

It's because of you my 80's style production really went to the next level. Thank you so much for in depth video's like this one.

[@Wayne_Robinson]

I've appreciated several of your videos. I'm not creating music specifically in those styles but still find them fun and educational.

[@sitgesstudio]

I'm now in love

[@lrucest]

been using dexed a year... really good sound

[@WiggyWamWam]

You are my favorite on KZbin right now for many reasons

[@trueromani7262]

Damn, that studio looks so neat.

[@M189-i3b]

Love your 80s videos 👌👌👌

[@stephanleo]

Eliana, admit it: You mixed all the Debarge songs and you own a time machine! Great video.

[@ElianaDAngelo]

You got me, I did.

[@brucemillar]

Great video Eliana. Some top advice and directions. Thank you.

[@marceloribeirosimoes8959]

Thank you for the vídeo. The demo song, wow. Great sounds. All of them...

[@futbolchefs]

Love it! Found an incredible chorus plug-in ❤❤

[@Flying-Roro]

I've been looking for this thanks a bunch

[@AllanGildea]

Thank you, Eliana.

[@sleeplessnightsofficial6334]

Amazing video as always, thank you for sharing your knowledge 💜

you the one Eliana

[@youtuberecon8581]

Loving your sound sister

[@Diogolindir]

your channel is very inspiring, specially now that I decided to go back to composing. Nice t shirt btw!

[@zedudli]

Love Thundercat, nice shirt!!

[@kimothebeatmaker7131]

I been looking for that SOUND!~!!!!!!

[@thechainsawtheory2360]

Great video! I would also add, most VST synths have a lot of DX7 piano presets, so people may already have these they can fool around with. Also, for a slightly bigger sound that is 80's-inspired, you can layer DX7 pianos with pads or similar sounds to make it extra dreamy.

[@78thandSynth]

Fantastic work again. Thank you for VST link!

[@pedromarquez114]

I just found this Chanel and it’s awesome. I love these new videos explaining these sounds in depth. Keep them coming please

[@dontletmewatchthis]

So glad to see your videos popping up again 💕

[@batgranny]

This was a great, easy to follow video. I'd love to see something similar on how to create those 80s lead sounds

[@leoelliondeux]

Dude, you’re a godsend. I’ve been listening to so much YMO and I’ve been itching to emulate them. Thank you!!

[@marc72-diamondproduction97]

Great 80s Sound Videos ( thank you ) please More Stuff 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@motorola68k.87]

This is a great channel ! makes me understand 80's music so much more do you consider ever doing guitar oriented 80's tutorials ? thanks and great work !

[@ChrisLoos1]

Could you do a tutorial on getting that funky lead in the track you played at the beginning? I love it.

[@ElianaDAngelo]

Soon.

[@MegaCookiecook]

loved the video. Also that is one sick Thundercat shirt right there.

[@ytpremium7649]

Absolute lush analog DW8000 style flavor

[@jaffe.kvallens]

Lush piano indeed. I like that you give concrete examples on actual values to use as plug-in params.

[@NicolasMelis]

that was interesting! well done 🎹

[@Lentreeo]

Great video! easily explained and fun to watch. One of my favorite production channels in the moment.

[@automaton111]

Love all your videos!

[@RedLabs]

I swear it's like whatever I'm looking for, you just make a video tutorial on -- so handy! Thanks again Eliana, you're a legend!

[@zukinokaemono]

I enjoyed the video. The notes on the chorus type and all others chain settings are priceless!

[@marklopez9238]

One of the best channels that I've subscribed....keep posting more

[@jessetwentenaer441]

Great video!

[@Gosurfdammit]

These vids are befok! Keep on going misses

[@amsalespush]

That website is a good recommendation, thanks.

[@petersinol]

I like Your voice. Great content. 👍

[@the_glove]

I like the way you explain things, in much better detail especially in the smaller points. Also quick question : I often have trouble with volume not matching on finished tracks , do you have any advice on quick and dirty ways of mastering your own stuff ? Would love to see how you think about things like that . Keep up the good work

[@ElianaDAngelo]

That should be a future video

[@Xeranxies]

Excellent video! ✌️😁 Absolutely love the sounds of a DX7

[@slimesmile54]

Another great video from Eliana-sensei 🥳

[@aghostina7111]

really good!

[@_OopsieDaisies]

I'm snagging a reface dx because i like limitations plus im broke. your videos have really helped with production and composition so thaaaanks :)

[@StevenQBeatz]

Another great tutorial 🔥🔥 Thank you ❤❤

[@altogethernow]

I love your videos. Going to give dexed a try.

[@siclarke82]

These sound design vids are great!

[@unfa00]

I feel like these tips would also work well for any lead synth sound, especially a supersaw. Let me add that Dexed is not just free but also open-source!

[@mylogify]

So cool sounds! Love 80's Disco, and Nu-Disco, Deep Nu-Disco, which I believe the new albums that are reminiscent of 70's-80's? I like to listen on Digitally Imported radio, time to time...

[@theseaward4613]

thank you this is great.

[@hellofromdavid]

That lovely sound makes me _tingle_ ----- I'm talkin' about your _voice_ dear ;)

[@andrewsalas1154]

Just subscribed a few days ago, this is another helpful video. Do you have a tutorial on how to create that lead sound that’s on this beat? Or which vst it’s from? Thank you.

[@Kazzeymusi]

Incroyableee

[@ElianaDAngelo]

Thanks! Your music is super funky btw. 😎😎😎

[@samdhoss]

Please continue this cool vibe you got going.. Also, I dunno what you mean by higher quality videos..hmm.. It looks good as it is. Peace- Sam

Totally love it

Have you the finished track in the video, sounds brilliant. Too good not to be a full track. Enjoying the videos and very inspirational.

@@persona83 please do! I do what it says! And sometimes, I sell them as well. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jHeVkKiJoduUptk

[@alyoshasdream8843]

If you have the money to spend, the Arturia DX7 soft synth is very very good and quite easy to maneuver around. I would recommend buying the V collection when its on a big discount as opposed to buying the DX7 soft synth from them with no sales ongoing, though.

[@diond1333]

I have the Arturia suite and had used the DX7 for some time, and only recently did I realise that you can load the .SYX patches I had previously downloaded for Dexed.

[@ElianaDAngelo]

I work in retail so sadly broke haha

[@alyoshasdream8843]

@@ElianaDAngelo yeah, I understand. I only recommend it because its very good and if you can get the V collection on sale you can get a ton of old synths for like 200 dollars and I think its one of the better deals out there when its on sale, many of which are also great for old 80s music (Prophet 5 and Juno 6 are perfect for 80s music). Just something to keep in mind for the future! Thanks for the video!

[@CR-sj7xd]

I had the DX7 for 12 years and Dexed is the only one that sounds 90% close to a DX7 mkI. The others are modern recreations

[@AlexNes]

@@CR-sj7xd As far as I know Dexed is a complete reverse engineered DX7 algorithm. Even DX7s original presets are compatible.

[@agentooe33AD]

Very cool video! For me, one of the best free chorus plugins is Blue Cat Audio's plugin suite. It's cmopletely free, and I use the chorus from that suite on almos everything I need chorus.

[@Chodemunch]

Love u and this

[@hannuback]

Personally I would place delay before reverb, but of course it can work after too :)

[@ElianaDAngelo]

All a matter of choice. Before makes delay more prominent. After more smootb

[@genuinefreewilly5706]

Dexxed has been around a while and does a good job of emulating the DX sound. If you actually have some DX7 or other DX synth patches I beleive you can import those as well I did it at some point a few times. Yes there are some sites to download the factory patches I am sure These days I just fart around with Vital and in my humble opinion betters the DX sound As an old dude I liked the 4 operator FM synths the TX81 module was cool

[@LOLCoolJ]

Great video. Are you adding that noise to your mic? I could do without it.

[@ElianaDAngelo]

Interferience that I am having trouble finding. The rode wireless mics seem quite succeptible to it

[@aperezdeal]

I am definitely working, “Meet my demands” into regular conversation.

[@didierledrogue319]

Do you have the all version of the intro amazing!!

[@BrianMarshall1]

A lot of people who've never used a dx7 don't know how dry it was. Most of those dx7 classic sounds have a lot more going on.

[@_lukaszbugajski]

u da best

[@madam_im_adam]

Love this series! What is the mixing desk you have recording in the back there? (ps I have that Thundercat shirt too)

[@ElianaDAngelo]

Its a Tascam model 12. But dont get it as an audio device for PC. Sucks ass worst drivers ever. Works great on mpc tho.

[@madam_im_adam]

@@ElianaDAngelo Oh serious? I'd been eyeing off one of those bad boys for a while.. thx for the tip

[@robjanssen7420]

Dexed is great but I want to give a shout out to Plogue OPS7. For chorus Oblivion Sound Lab is my choice, and then of course Valhalla VintageVerb.

Very cool! :)

I just use my mk1 dx7, chose the chorus-reverb preset on my Boss se 50 rack multi FX, ( Boss is known for they're good choruses ) turn down the whet/dry mix on my mixer a bit, dial in the highs on my mixer a little, and hey presto!, ( use a real dx7 preferably a mk1, they sound best, far better than dexed, I use both)

[@theliferr]

Genia! Hi from Argentina! I can't seem to understand how the release works on Dexed as there are no ADSR knobs...could you help me please? Thanks!

The Pad / String Sound in your composition: is that DX7 too?

Can we have the link to the exact sound you're using? I'm struggling to understand where to download the actual preset from Best regards,

[@RVBY.416]

Your Demand is my imperative

[@akeemevans7756]

Where can I find the song from the intro??

[@ThePCxbox]

You should make a discord community or a subreddit for other funk / 80s rnb fans can gather. The closest thing to a community like that, that I could find are synthwave communities which have a very different taste :/
