Hi Keith - Excellent work! Particularly like the Jp-8 part. As you noticed, the "bell thing" seems to be a layer of two sounds on 101. The first sound is pretty much like your Wavestation bit, except on the original the filter cutoff closes more on the Decay / Release stage and I think I can hear a small amount of vibrato too. The bell sound itself on the original sounds more like a sample to me (some sort of chime-y thing) rather than the more synthetic "bell" sound you used. Not a criticism, yours sounds a lot like the original studio version. Just saying as I'm also someone who obsesses about these things...! For live, well, no-one will hear these tiny differences ;)
Thanks, I obsess about it completely and even slow stuff down to the enth degree. We often opt for the live vrsions DM played as well, where a lot of the synth patches were nothing like the commercial release. It's all good fun
Using soft synths is cheating! ALL hardware in my studio. Computers are for porn and eBay. It's nice to create sounds from a raw wave up. Every sound imaginable can be done this way, if you have the enthusiasm and passion for making music. 🕶
Sorry for the late reply. Personally I agree that hardware synths are more engaging. We used to tour with hardware but the realities of that soon bit hard. on stage in front of 1800 people, our 15 year old Emulator dying, then the backup. This an a whole bunch of other reasons force us to use software in Mainstage, just like Depeche Mode are now.
Amazing!! Loved watching this film!! Very interesting and professional. keep up the hard work. Best wishes Andy G
Excellent breakdown! More please!
We have a See You production Video and hopefully more will follow.
This is fantastic. Thank you.
Amazing job--fascinating!
Congratulations for you fantastic job doing this kind of videos. Keep doing them, they are really good!
Many thanks. They are a lot of fun but an enormous amount of hard word
Impressive! Great job!
Thank you
Enjoyed this ta! Don't you think the intro bells should be triplets, like a trill, rather than all played at once?

It`s a great insight to music not just DM. Guys I know how hard it is to this sort of thing but how about you tackle Violator lol
We have tackled Violator and completed it :-) We performed the entire album in 2015 at the O2 Academy in London and in Oslo
:-) fine...
