DX5 playing Depeche Mode "Nothing to Fear"

YouTube Uploaded by DX5 on May 8, 2011

"One of the last videos shot in this studio. I am moving to a temporary one while building the definitive (say goodbye to the flower power sofa and curtains...).

I added a Simmons SDS 8 module for drum effects. The only original pad I have is too weared, so I used two standar pads for triggering the unit.

Upper Keyboard: Emu EMAX II HD
Lower: Emu Emax.

All sounds were synthesized by me, sampling them into the emaxes. Sources were JP8000 DW8000 Poly 800, and my Emax library.

Composed by Martin L. Gore."

"Done in a quick way (as always).
Filter is controlled by key velocity, it is not very approached as it is played live and is difficult to apply the right pressure for close/open filter.

Gear:
Upper: Emu EMAX II HD (includes a FX sampled with my voice at the beginning)
Mid: Roland JP8000
Low: Kurzweil PC1x

Backtrack recorded in Pro Tools. Just the drums and some fx."

"Emax power today.

Gear:
Upper and Mid: Emu Emax
Lower: Emu EMAX II HD
Right (out of screen) : Yamaha DX7 II FD.

* Sound is overcompressed due to an overloaded output from the mixer into camera preamp (it uses to compress a lot even in normal levels). Hope it doesn't disturb too much. And yes, there is a mistake at one of the last notes :)

Composed by Martin L. Gore."
