He came out with it in recent years, The sh101 made the pwm punchy bass coming out of left speaker, Annie Lennox upon hearing it went to the obx that was owned by the picture framing shop owner who told them they weren't allowed to use it, they used it regardless and made the string sound coming out the right speaker, they also used the obx to make the main solo string synth half way through the song. If you type in "Dave Stewart hospital interview Eurythmics" he does a presentation showing the multitracks of the original song
I heard an interview with Dave Stewart a few months ago. He said people never realize that the main sequence is done with two synths. That's why it never sounds right when people try to play it with a single synth. So there's your next video: Listen real carefully and recreate the sequence now with two synths. That would be really interesting.
Thank you very much for the tip. I've noticed some time ago that there are two synths playing different melodies indeed. It is very easy to spot each one of them if you listen to the left and right channels separately. But since I am a very limited keyboard player, I have developed my own way of playing this, joining both parts in one. Cheers!
Greqt video thanks. Out of interest have you worked out how to trigger the drum machine via midi when using the bass station' s sequencer? I couldn't find anyway with my TR6s which was really frustrating.
The Wikipedia article on the song states pretty confidently that "the MCS Drum Computer provided drum sounds, and also triggered sequences on a Roland SH-101 synthesizer, used for the synth bass line." A Sound on Sound article by Tom Doyle is cited in defense of this claim. But you seemed to nail the sound pretty well with the Bass Station. And as somebody in the comment section pointed out, there do seem to be two synths in the riff.
This is right. I have read this article but there are many others (i.e. Sound On Sound magazine) that point to Rolad SHs or even an Orberheim. I believe in all of them.
here in this live version from 1983 it shows a Juno-60. This makes sense to me having used this and it's external sequencer. th-cam.com/video/ED7pIZOARn0/w-d-xo.html
I’ve seen this video before! They are using the Juno-60 (I’ve had one ages ago) but it sounds completely different from the original track. I still believe it was a SH-2 or SH-9.
Very cool. It's close, recognisable, but it's not right. The riff is wrong for a start, and listen to the synths, they have some kind of envelope follower shifting the filter I think. or something... I'm not sure.. It's hard to explain, but in the original it sounds a little more bubbly, like bubbles going bloop.. haha. I dunno. It's very different, but awesome none-the-less.
I'm afraid the first 4 notes or so aren't quite right. It's starts with the first low note twice, for example and then the following couple of notes need to be reordered
AWSOME JOB, Thank You!
Very clear teaching. Super helpful. Thank you for this video.

sooo simple and yet so efficient ! thanks
Genius riff

Dr Mix remakes it on you tube to the tee and sounds perfect. Check it out on his page
Fantastic!
If you pan the track hard left then right, you'll hear the two seperate parts making up the riff,
Wow! I've started to "sing" that ) It's a hit obviously. As I've never was Eurythmic's fan.
Awesome!
Fastastic.....well done 😎🙌🏽
My money is on the Juno! But who knows haha
Several sources claims they have first hand information from DS, who apparently stated OB-X.
Sweet!
It was a Roland SH1 from late 1970s
I've my chance on the SH-101 and found it too simple to sound like this riff. James Stewart must have some tricks under his sleeve!
@@williampaivaoficial And how about Dave... James' musical sibling
@@williampaivaoficial you're the only one that's right. it was an SH-101.

Never tried that but I'm pretty sure it is possible no send Bass Station's sequencer notes through midi out to any other midi capable device.

Sweet dreams was released in january of 1983 and produced way before the release date. SH-101 was released later in 1983. Isn't that weird??

Perhaps another oscillator is modulating the other two? I can distinctly hear a back and forth between two differently modulated tones. It's swirling.
2 minutes in, play it already Bro.

In fact, this part is played by two synth lines, panned left and right. In this video I played the way I do in a live situation, with just one synth.
@@williampaivaoficial OK, it's just a little bit off though
Do dire dire dock from Mario 64 (FM synthesis)
dire dire docks uses the crystal rhodes preset from a Roland JD-800/JD-990
