Yazoo - Don't Go (Analog Synth Cover by Franck Choppin)

[@toxicrealitymedia]

This has to be the BEST version I have ever heard! I had my 106 stolen from my truck back in 1989. It was my first baby lol. Anyway, I hate to see people upload versions of all these classic songs and 98 percent of them never duplicate the original, in fact all are far from it. This one is EXCELLENT! Yes there are some details unique to what Vince used back in the day but, THIS IS SICK! Thank YOU! Time to dust off the midi controller and rack mounts. lol

[@FranckChoppin]

Thanks for your support Toxic Reality, I really appreciate it!

[@fender1000100]

This is without question the best cover of this song ever. And all done on the Juno 106 makes it that more impressive. I will attempt to do the same thing on a CS REFACE. Which has a very similar sound to the Juno 106. And upload it next year to show how powerful that little marvel really is.

[@DepecheModeDaddy]

Yazoo and vince clarke way ahead of their times. This synth riff has been sampled by so many other artists it’s ridiculous. Classics never die !

[@thierryrault3951]

If Vince Clarke listened to this version, he can be proud of you !!! Nice work !!!

[@leonthebigfat]

The closest I've heard, recreation of Don't Go by Yazoo. Vince Clarke will be astonished. It's amazing how it was done with just 1 synth, even the drums. It's amazing, a big thumbs up.

[@jaggass]

If Vince Clarke ever hears this you would get a huge thumbs up from him.

[@米田さとし]

Vince Clarke is the maestro of synthesizer. His music never die. This remix is nice and imaginative too. Thanks for this uploading.

[@iggydip]

Vince is the maestro. Just wish he would put this kind of melodic effort into the newer Erasure music.

[@gimmietheprize]

Excellent reproduction!! What a synth!!

[@davebraet2254]

Amazing job recreating these sounds on the Juno 106 and making an extended version of one of my favorite 80's song ever. ;-)

[@mancavemusician]

This is pure genius....great work.

[@javiercacao7475]

Hmm l get the same goosebumps, great job mate. Only thing left is Allison Moyet herself.

[@PureAmbientDrone]

Sounds so 80's but that's a good thing! :) Great job!

[@genx1144]

Sounds like something Razormaid would put out back in the 80s. That kick drum is smooth. Nicely done sir.

[@tomleonard3115]

a brilliant cover frank keep them coming kid

[@kevinw5093]

Congrats! ... my 106 is arriving at the weekend! The best use of a 106 on youtube.

[@clintt5266]

This is absolutely spot on. Gotta think Vince would be flattered by the effort and attention to detail here. Nicely done!

[@FranckChoppin]

Thanks Clint!

[@TBJustOneMusic]

This is really the best cover version I've ever heard. Really respectable what you created there! Thanks from Germany

[@fender1000100]

This is fantastic. Shows what can be done when a great synth is used to its full potential.

[@henrikgustav2294]

this makes me cry

[@fender1000100]

Fabulous. This is pure synth pop ecstacy. I'm going to have a go at this using a Yamaha CS reface and Korg Microsampler in 2023. That breakdown at 3.22 is AWESOME.

[@Johngengelbach2]

Can't stop now Don't you know I ain't never gonna let you go Don't go🎹🎹🎹🎶🎵🎶

[@fender1000100]

The amazing thing about Vince Clarke. Is his early songs like this had no Chords. As he was using monophonic synths like the Pro ONE and Arp. But they really stand up and out.

[@MartinHughesmidimarty]

Shows how cool the Juno-106 is!!! Thanks!!!

[@grantmcf]

Not sure why this doesn't have a gazillion bajillion views. This is brilliant !!

[@FranckChoppin]

Grant McFarlane, I am flattered, thank you!

[@WoodyPianoShack]

fabulous, you nailed it, bassline sounds perfect.

[@good_old_80s_90s]

Well done,sounds great,"Don't Go" is one of my fav synthi tracks ever,the synthi tones/sounds are brilliant,especially the lead one. :-)

[@HustonSingletary]

Excellent work here. The sequencing resolution even sounds spot on.

[@alexiastential_crisis]

This is absolutely amazing.

[@jaggass]

You may have convinced me to keep my Juno 106.

[@Synthnerd11]

My 2nd favourite Yazoo track - what a fantastic demo of the 106.

[@bonnetthierry3012]

[@frutosramirez1016]

Great track!

[@schepler2]

You've got some serious programming and production skills. Well done!

[@FranckChoppin]

+schepler2 Thanks schepler2 :)

[@E4RLIES]

Wow, I had been blind to a lot of these layers! It really is a wonderfully crafted song Kudos to you this is quality ❤

[@rhianjones1319]

[@alexskibicki2262]

[@Realmasterorder]

Awesome stuff great 80's tune

[@NeilVanceNeilVance]

Excellent work man! - excellent showcase for what you can do with one synth and software.

[@DGShackleford]

Lance Vance would proudly dance to this! Awesome!

[@bonnetthierry3012]

Excellent job ******** BRAVO ! ;)

[@luispernia3821]

[@dgsoundCA]

[@selchoukyaver.4234]

Absolutely amazing music...

[@OsyrisGlitch]

Perfect job!

[@FranckChoppin]

+OsyrisGlitch Thanks man!

[@PolaroidsofthePyramids]

Brilliant work - great job!

[@jonvincentmusic]

That is really, really good

[@kevinw5093]

I got a Juno 106 after listening to this ... this sound needs no apology!

[@particuleselementals]

Very good. I have also a J-106 and i love his sound

[@ericlebrun1640]

Analog sound!!!😊

[@WoodyPianoShack]

SUPERB , loving this!

[@jaggass]

Bloody awesome isnt it?

[@jaggass]

Its astonishing how a synth with 1 dco can do this. Its unison mode that really polishes off the 106.

[@P-Bass_Pete]

Sounds awesome!

[@malcolmhodgson7540]

Really like this reconstruction

[@sergiocunhalima5183]

Se o tempo pudesse voltar ia curtir mais ainda

[@mrsandman_]

I saw Yazoo I immediately clicked :) Amazing cover!! I hope you can do Only You too! Thank you for the amazing video :))

[@Elixear]

Very good ! Almost perfect. Running to the link with Jovana right after this ! ;) Amazing result with the Juno ! But above all great ears of you !

[@richardballinger517]

One of my all time favourites, had to go and listen to Yazoo after this. Loved the 80's.

[@moogdome2562]

Brilliant as always.

[@oakteaseriously]

i'm a simple man. i see yazoo i press like

[@2112jonr]

Nice work sir ! Still one of my favourite 80's tracks, and you nailed it :D :D Thank you, liked and subscribed !

[@Funkstar124]

I find it amazing still how if you build multi-track synth music that you end up knowing every sound and sub-sound pattern subtly without knowing it so well that if you took just one element away, you would notice something wasn't quite right. Yes, you have the vocals and the lead sounds but everything fits so well in this track particularly. Just goes to show what a talent Vince Clarke was and parting from Depeche mode was the right thing to do! Kudos to you for recreating this great track so well!

[@MauriceJayMusic]

Attention to detail goes up to 11 !! And all on one synth!! One of the best on KZbin :)

[@euroDIGLET]

great job

[@dominikczajkowski5571]

Magnifique!!!

[@FranckChoppin]

+Dominik Czajkowski Thanks Dominik, glad you like this track!

[@matiasescarlon1864]

Great work! I have a J106 and I love it. In the original video they have a Sequential Circuits "Pro One". Probably the used that synth, because the original track sound a bit more dirty.

[@DavidBoura]

The only 106 i've had is the Peugeot. Great cover!

[@Zeal808]
