SWEET DREAMS are made of BEATS (Eurythmics) | Drum Patterns Explained

video upload by Captain Pikant

"► / captainpikant Support us on Patreon and get access to lots of drum patterns, cheat sheets and more!

Sweet Dreams is a brilliant example of how a deceptively simple drum beat (if done right) can make a song hit even harder. We're going to recreate it on a modern sequencer so you can follow along and use those techniques in your own beats. Milk bottles and cows on fake grass included. As a bonus The Intern will pick apart the iconic synth riff :)"

PRESS RELEASE -- April 22, 2025 --

Cherry Audio is proud to introduce Yellowjacket, an innovative virtual synthesizer that pays tribute to the legendary 1978 EDP Wasp synthesizer. Yellowjacket perfectly replicates the Wasp's distinct buzzy tone and its hybrid analog/digital design, while incorporating modern features that enhance its creative possibilities. The outcome is an affordable synthesizer plugin that combines a rich historical legacy with cutting-edge functionality for today's musicians and producers. Yellowjacket synthesizer is available immediately for only $49. Additionally, Yellowjacket can be purchased as part of Cherry Audio's "Build Your Own Bundle" value options, Pick 3 (on sale for $99) and Pick 6 (on sale for $149), for a limited time.

Yellowjacket perfectly embodies the appearance and charm of the original Wasp, as well as the distinctive sound of its unique oscillators and signature state-variable filter. At the same time, it pushes the limits with Cherry Audio's characteristic innovations to bring this cherished classic into the 21st century. Highlights include:
16-voice polyphony alongside monophonic, unison, and cycle modes
Two oscillators with options for sawtooth, pulse, or square waveforms, as well as the enhanced modulated pulse-wave based on EDP's Gnat synthesizer
Innovative multi-voice modes that provide per-note variation with "chained" mini-synth panels, each featuring its own settings for dynamic tonal options that can create subtle or extreme timbres, single-finger chords and arpeggiated patterns, and more
A new advanced arpeggiator featuring probability and humanize controls adds randomness to patterns. When combined with cycle modes it can create transposable and even unpredictable four-note step sequences with the touch of a single key
Enhanced performance features, including support for polyphonic aftertouch, diatonic scales, transpose functions, and more
Studio-quality integrated effects, including reverb, delay, phaser, chorus, and a new Octafuzz distortion
A vintage-style onboard speaker emulation with adjustable hiss and hum for nostalgic, lo-fi tones
The original Wasp, developed by the late Chris Huggett and Adrian Wagner for Electronic Dream Plant (EDP), was a groundbreaking instrument that combined affordability with innovative design. Introduced in 1978 for just £200, it made electronic music creation accessible to a whole new audience and influenced the sound of artists such as Nick Rhodes (Duran Duran), Dave Greenfield (The Stranglers), Dave Stewart (Eurythmics), and Thomas Dolby.

Considered Britain's foremost synthesizer designer, Yellowjacket is a celebration of Chris Huggett's pioneering spirit. Cherry Audio has incorporated its latest features into Yellowjacket inspired by his innovations, ensuring his legacy resonates with new generations of musicians.

Yellowjacket features more than 270 professionally designed presets across a dozen categories, providing limitless creative possibilities right from the start. Yellowjacket also supports velocity, channel and polyphonic aftertouch with compatible USB/MIDI controllers, and seamless DAW integration for any studio environment.

Alongside the launch of Yellowjacket, Cherry Audio is introducing the Hive Mind Preset Pack for just $9.99. This pack features an additional 100 presets designed to further showcase Yellowjacket's advanced capabilities, with a deeper dive into arpeggios, effects, modulation, and aftertouch.

Yellowjacket exemplifies Cherry Audio's commitment to providing high-quality sound at an unbeatable price. At just $49, Yellowjacket is an excellent choice for synth enthusiasts who appreciate both exceptional tone and affordability. Additionally, until May 5th, Yellowjacket can be purchased as part of Cherry Audio's "Build Your Own Bundle" options. Customers can choose the Pick 3 bundle for $99 (regularly $129) or the Pick 6 bundle for $149 (regularly $169), allowing them to mix and match any of Cherry Audio's award-winning instruments for as low as $25 per plugin.

One of my favorite tracks from the early 80s.
Sweet Dreams by The Eurythmics (1983)

All synth parts made with the Roland Juno-60 (1982)

This cover song series contains my own recreations of my favourite songs from the last 50 years. The original music from which I take inspiration belong to their respective owners. I recreate tracks only for personal passion and to pay homage to these tracks.

My intention is not to create covers that sound exactly like the original (if you want to hear identical sounds, please listen the original). It's more of an inspiration with my sounds from the old synthesizers from the past and of course the great appreciation for the original performers and producers."

Akai Introduces AIR: Jura The Synth Of 82

video upload by AkaiProVideo

"Jura is the classic synth for a modern music production studio.
The sound of yesterday, the features of tomorrow.

In 1982 something magical happened in the world of synths, a Japanese legend was born.

It was one of the synths that defined the sound of the 1980s and was used on countless hits by artists such as The Eurythmics, Cyndi Lauper, and Aha. Now it’s loved more than ever and used on tracks by acts like Charlie Puth, Tame Impala, and the Weeknd.

Now we bring you something very special, the authentic sound of that 80s synth

But that’s just the start; we wanted to build on the legend and make it fit for modern music production workflows. So for those with qualified AKAI MPC/FORCE standalone versions, you get complete touch control of every parameter. You can really get your hands on this vintage classic and craft your future hits.

Of course you get all the analogue goodness of the original, our team are audio wizards and they have meticulously crafted the sound. It has the single DCO, a monster sub oscillator, the unparralleled VCF, and if you want it, lashings of THAT chorus!

In short, Jura gives you the best of both worlds - the classic sound of an ‘80s synth monster, coupled with some very cool modern workflow enhancements. Jura comes in several versions; a plugin for AU, VST, and AAX DAWs, and there’s the MPC/FORCE Standalone versions for the complete hardware experience of touch control. Jura is the classic synth for a modern music production studio. The sound of yesterday, the features of tomorrow. The synth of ‘82... reimagined for your future hits

"The Oberheim OBX series are known to be some of the most classic synthesizers of our time, having been used in Eurythmics ''Sweet Dreams'' and Van Halen's ''Jump''. This instantly recognizable staple is capable of much more though, as Oberheim has created a truly versatile and incredible sounding synthesizer series. Tom Oberheim is the founder of Oberheim Electronics and he was born July 7, 1936 (age 85 years) in Manhattan, KS. Now, in 2022, Oberheim has announced and released the new Oberheim OB-X8, an 8-voice polyphonic analog synthesizer combining components of all previously created synthesizers put into a new powerhouse of a synth."

Lo-Fi Sweet Dreams (Eurythmics cover) on the Realistic Moog MG-1

Admiral Quality · Sweet Dreams (Eurythmics cover) - My FIRST recording!

"This is the very first thing I ever recorded. (Well, before this there was a few years of goofing around with cassette decks. But that was all vocal "comedy".)

Early 1983, I'm 14 or or maybe just 15 years old here. I just bought my first synth, a used Realistic/Moog MG-1 Concertmate MG-1 which had RCA inputs for letting you play along to your stereo. That was all the mixer it took to do this tape-to-tape, sound-on-sound recording (hence the incredibly high noise floor). Every instrument is the MG-1. Please forgive my playing, it's literally my first day. (I was already a self-taught piano player, so not my first day on a keyboard. But close!)

Farewell Radio Shack!"

via this auction

"'Sweet dreams are made of this' - well, thats what The Eurythmics thought in 1983....and just about everybody else thought so too eg Chaka Khan, ELO, Queen, Prince & Earth, Wind & Fire... Only 800 were ever made twixt 1979-1981, by Oberheim (Santa Monica, Los Angeles, USA)<> the first of the series OB-X>OB-SX>OB-Xa>OB-8. The legend evolved from that day on, and 40 years later, all these models still see of all competition. Why? Uncomplicated operation, tuning stability, supply of spare parts (no silly superchips) and (mostly) THAT fat (phat?) Oberheim sound. There is nothing like it......raw subtractive analogue synthesis....they look so cool, so studio cred is top drawer, you what? Any muso will faint when he sees an OB-X, especially one that works properly....... This particular synth has been recently serviced by a top US workshop. The hand-crafted wooden end-cheeks give it more class. It has had MIDI fitted. The keys are "unclunky", and all trigger every time. It tunes up & stabilises if simply let be for 10 minutes on fire-up. There is a Z80 microprocessor that automatically maintains tuning henceforth. It has (the max) eight voices with mono or stereo outputs. It has polyphonic glide, 8-voice mono unison, noise, sample & hold, p/bend & mod levers, saw, or square waveforms (which can be synced), independent tuning for both VCOs (with de-tune) & lots of modulation possibilities, 32 patch memories ....just find any patch, hit EDIT, and make your own. The memory protect on/off switch is safely tucked away inside. Sustain pedal actually works as it should (they usually do not!). ...one included in package. Copy of original manual is supplied....vital for operation. Voltage can be switched twixt 120V o<>230Vac, in 5 seconds."
