Blue Monday to me as a teenager in 1983 was just a MASSIVE game changer for the whole of my life. Also worth a mention, again another MASSIVE game changer for me in 1983 was The Sisters Of Mercy with their original version of The Temple Of Love, again recorded on a DMX. I've been looking out for them but they rarely come up for less than £2,000! But as the Jaguar car advert used to say "What are dreams for, if not to come true?" :-)
The richness of Blue Monday may makes it more difficult to recreate, but it also prevents it from wearing off as much as the average pop song played on the radio.
These vids are a great service. I hope you are not tired of delivering the goods, coz many of us are living vicariously in that synth-driven musical past.
My mate did a full version of Blue Monday on a Nintendo Gameboy. Using LSDJ, and a suitable flash cart. He entered it into a go-nowhere, crappy competition and didn't win. It's my opinion (again, I mean this whole thing is my opinion, whose else's would it be?) that he did a great job. It was brilliant! Worked really well with the Gameboy's limitations, and was generally fabulous. I might have to get him to let me upload a copy.
Hi synthmania could you possibly do a pattern demonstration of the song cheri cheri lady by modern talking. They must have used linn 9000 or linn drum but not sure on what the original used. Thanks.
Hi, Nicholas, I'm not sure either, as the drums in Cheri Cheri Lady have a lot of effects on them.... we need to do a bit of investigation! :) However, the pattern is very regular 8-beat, then just add a lot of effects..
SynthMania well according to my research some sources say they used a linn drum yet their first song was made with linn 9000 seems odd to change to older equipment. Here is the link for the website a found out this from. But thanks for the reply. www.spacesynth.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=15580
its always magical to see the machines that created the sound uve known in your head for decades , kind of strange too , remember when I was young listening to OMD , especially Almost by them , thinking they created these beautiful synth sounds from big expensive Synthesizers , then you find out they was just using a little Korg M500 mono synth from your mothers Kays catalogue lol , think I remember New Order saying they discovered Blue Monday beat by accident while learning to use this ? and another part when the Sequencer went wrong but it fitted so kept it in
What's funny in Blue Monday is that one of the members started their sequencer late and thus one of the synth parts is out of time with the rest of the song. It actually worked out.
There was an article in a drumming magazine back in the 1980s that had the whole thing written out, all seven minutes or so of it. I don't know if I still have it (might be in a box somewhere) but I can remember most of it ;-)
i love all those fancy old digital drum machine, they realy shape the sound of a decade. i found some Linndrum emulator on Reason rack extension, that are able to read the .bin file of the sound chip, from both DMX and Linndrum and all ulaw sample based drum computer. does the this machine can pitch the HHat and the kick in a certain way with the accent feature ? the original linndrum can't pitch those, only the snare and the tom and congas.
It has The DMX and A Linn drum So to answer your question on what other Drum machine It was It was the Linn 1 drum that was used live With the DMX so yeah it's a mix of both DMX and Linn 1
Great video my good man. I really love your channel, it's the closest i'll probably ever be around many of these synths or drum machines. One Video i'd really love for you to make is Wham's- Everything she wants, I really love that drum pattern, and I think you probably have the synths to do the rest of the song as well. Keep up the great work my friend!
I dug it. Great job! Does anyone know if anyone ever attempted to use this machine for house music? I know it isn't the 909, but it does make a killer disco pattern.
That's something which I suspect they've engineered out of subsequent machines, the ability to swap EPROMs. Now, you're supposed to be able to upload the sounds directly. Tell me, is it tough to swap EPROMs in an Oberheim? I'm no engineer, even though I'm fascinated with the activity of it.
If I ever try getting my hands on either machine (and succeed), that info will come well in hand. (Not likely, unless I could learn how to trigger the sounds from a MIDI drumkit, which I prefer over programming.)
About that random hihat strike at the end of the snare roll pattern, it sounds like the DMX's open hat except cranked way the hell up (at least 12 dB) and definitely overdubbed. Or at least that's my guess!
Agree, I thought about that too, but the hats in the main pattern of the song also sound quite different... like if they're syncing something else to it- we need to investigate the hats story a bit further! :)
IMHO Steve Morris played about 50% of the high hats on the song on an actual drum kit-listen to the "On the Beach" instrumental-there are subtle variations in the high-hat pedal work that drum machines just couldn't do in 1983
Those missing high hats that are on the original have always sounded human compared to the rest of the rythym track. This is, amongst many other things, what made that song so special. Morris is/was an organic drum machine :-)
The closed Hi Hat on Blue Monday sounds the same as the ones on The Walk by The Cure. The "Closed, Accent, Open" buttons on the DMX all play the same sample on the card (open hi hat sample) There is a jumper setting on the card to add more decay to the closed hi hat. Desoldering and soldering might be involved. Ask Paul from www.electrongate.com I'm sure he'll have all the answers.
As always, very informative video. Is there any way you can send me the blank template you use for the patterns. Thanks again and keep up the great content!
Awesome thank you very much for doing this video I've been trying to figure out the more complex parts for weeks. This was just what I needed, once again thank you for being so helpful in your videos. I'm learning new things with each one I watch! 👍
Best sounding bass drum ever.much as I love analogue synth and drum machines, in the end I still prefer the kick and snare on these early digital dm's.there's a ton of proper analogue/virtual analogue drum machines being made right now which is great so maybe it's time for a new drum machine that Hoover's up this era of dm's like linn drum scTom dmx etc complete with song mode tuning CV triggers and individual outs.most new digital drum boxes have boring too real sounding samples and have only stereo outs and midi.
As with RetroSound’s demos which come close to cancelling out my disinterest in owning a sampling keyboard/module, your drum machine demos could cancel out my disinterest in buying a hardware drum machine. (I at least have a DTX Multi 12,which is loaded with the samples from these classic models.)
a megadrive or super nintendo are able to work like vintage sampler, i planned to make a live and an album with those machine, using some sample from those drum machine, the sound of TR 909 or TR 808 on megadrive sound amazing ^^ play by the Yamaha FM/DAC chip.
dude can you just do like a studio/jam room tour that shows all your gear and how it's organized, like some vintage gaming channels do with their game rooms? Every time I think I know all the gear you have you pull something outta left field like that k2500rs in the last video, and it just blows my mind that you have yet another amazing piece of kit in your arsenal. A room tour would be like porn to all us fellow gearslutz haha
Tnx again for your informative video. Question:do you have an Oberheim DSX to demonstrate in conjunction w/ DMX and OB- Xa as Oberheim The System? Question 02:Which synth do you prefer soundwise and function wise and why?:OB-Xa or OB-8 PS:you can check a video on my account of the Simmons sds6 in action triggering an SDS-V and performing. best regards, Ken.
So i tried to recreate this on the VPROM vst instrument by loading original DMX .bin files into the program. In theory this should give a close to realistic DMX sound but in reality it's completely different sounds. My guess is that the original hardware had built in circuitry that rendered the rather flat and uninteresting bin files dramatically soundvice. Any idea what's going on here?
Can you please post a link to an audio example of what you're getting with VPROM? It's hard to get an idea without listening to the sound you are getting...
@@SynthManiaDotCom I downloaded the bins from here: electrongate.com/dmxfiles/eproms.html As you see there is sound examples Wav-files and those sound very similar if not identical to what i'm getting. And yes. The two files containing two sounds each i've splitted into four different bin files with prommer software. It's almost like the sounds from that site ain't the correct and true DMX eprom files...
It's just a slightly different tuning that I have used (most drum voice cards inside the DMX can be adjusted in pitch via a small wheel) and probably the EQ from my mixer. Just tweak those parameters, maybe even add some light compression, and you'll have the same sounds.
That was really good and informative, now I've got the Blue Monday Drum patterns in my moXF6...Need to work out the rest now. A question...The Human Vox pad used in this and many other pieces from the early to mid 80's, was it a Fairlight patch or some other sample as I've tried to recreate it and I haven't had any joy with either Analogue or FM synths. If you know the "Magic" answer please let me know!!! Great Channel you have here and I'm really quite envious of the equipment you have, makes my set-up look quite tiny really :-)
Yeah, it's a known thing, they sampled Kraftwerk's "Uranium" on an Emulator I (which I also have, and I also have the Kraftwerk vinyl, at some point I'll have to make a video about it)
Ahh Lovely, I've often wondered what it was as when used in the lower registers it sounds great. I'll look forward to the Emulator Video. Have you got a Synclavier kicking around by any chance ;)
This is the best dmx sound ever ! at the beggining. Did you used any treatment (comp / eq) for this video ?) IS it your converters ? In your Fairlight video the kick sample is just fabulous, outstanding ... fat sound
The hi hat sound at the end of the break patterns is a sound from the dmx. It was a crash that was choked to make a metallic like sound. Whilst I'm not sure how it was done, I do know that I was from the dmx
@@SynthManiaDotCom While it may not be the best source, I watched a video from a TH-camr who reviews drum machines, named Captain Pikant. He made a video where he spent 1000 days transcribing drum beats. Near the 2:30 maro of the video he recreates the sound with the Dmx cymbal.
LMAO. You went from "I do know that I was from the dmx" to "While it many not be the best source," in the space of a nano-second. And you are correct, it's not.
Any particular thing to say about the tuning? Your kick sounds very punchy. My dmx kick sounds a bit more crunchy, like very low fi. Being trying to tune it like the song. Yours sounds different than mine. Did you change the eprom? Is just eq?
It's the original eprom. It's probably the Soundcraft console's eq, I eq'd it and tuned it to mimic the one in Blue Monday for this video, but didn't have time to do separate outs, so the high freq for the hat probably play with the bd sound too
I've found that Hi equing the kick sometime gives a nice punchy effect. I tend to do that on analog machines like the KR55, KPR77 or the Volca Beats. It gives me a close feeling to Vince Clark super punchy ARP2600 kicks which I love by the way. :D
@@SynthManiaDotCom I was wondering which model and if there is a particular reason to why you use that sound raft? I'm starting to investigate which one I would buy when I finally decided to start to do some Analog mixing and summing and run my syntha thru as well.
Are you using Excel for the drum charts? I've found that others are using it for sequencer pattern data for volatile memory items or things like this. You're doing the world a great service by showing how well the DMX can clap, btw.
cara vc é sensacional sou fã do New order e sempre quis saber como são feitos esse efeitos e batidas obrigado por vc postar esses vídeos sensacionais de como é produzido esses sons de qualidade q hoje não tem mais
Thanks so much for this. I’ve just got a midi DMX and it’s really useful having your videos as a resource. With the DMX is it normal for them to lose sync after a certain number of loops? Mine is synced to Logic via midi and is ok for a number of cycles but then will suddenly fall out of time. Not sure if this is a bug or a quirk and if there is a workaround
@@SynthManiaDotCom Thanks again for the reply. I did try a couple of different interfaces and sadly it's the same across both. I'll have a tech look at it. All the best! Keep up the amazing work!!
Love this video, thank you! PS: Does your MemoryMoog have the original PSU and fan or did you replace them? Mine gets really hot and I'm a bit nervous to leave it on for more than an hour or two at a time...
omg i love how the synths in the background are all tucked in under their blankets and ready for bed. :)
I find that dry cleaner bags are the ideal size of cover for synths. I have collected several manufacturers covers over the years as well.
I've always used a pillow case as a dust cover for my keyboards
it's just so cute! I need to start covering mine
Synthesizers like to be treated with love 'only'!!!
There's a place in Bulgaria that makes custom-sized covers for like, every synth. They are affordable and beautiful. You can search for them on EBay.
One of the greatest dance songs in history
One of my most beloved beats, thank you.

How many of you hear the bass synth in your head while just the drums are playing?
xnonsuchx me ☺️
Just about everyone, surely? Why wouldn't you?
When Did DMX come out with this song and from which album?
Rob Roux A comment like that is gonna make me loose my mind up in here!
i´m in
I've recently discovered a DMX kit on my Maschine and absolutely love it. I'm using it for everything at the moment.
These vids are a great service. I hope you are not tired of delivering the goods, coz many of us are living vicariously in that synth-driven musical past.
Bizarre Love Triangle by New Order next???
Oh yes! love that song
jippalippa In that song, the LinnDrum was heard.
@@adamharris7775 i thought it was a yamaha by that time
@@devinthierault they used a dmx for the hi hats in that song
Where were you 20 years ago when I spent over 3 days programming this song beat for beat. Great job as usual. Thanks!
Always a pleasure watching your videos. Respect.
Glad you’re enjoying the content!
Makes me smile. Thank you Paolo. I went ahead and programmed it on my electribe2. Now I just have to do the sound design balance.

this was delightful. fantastic attention to detail
A work of love, that's what really moves the world.
Legendary Song
I think it would be awesome if you made the exact same pattern on the LinnDrum, DMX, 808, and others for a comparison. Maybe do it with 3 patterns

Mine is synced to Logic via midi and is ok for a number of cycles but then will suddenly fall out of time. Not sure if this is a bug or a quirk and if there is a workaround
It shouldn't lose sync... after how many measures do you suddenly lose sync?
SynthMania it’s random. Sometimes only 4 or 5, sometimes it can cycle for ages before suddenly dropping.
That's odd... I don't have problems with mine... maybe try with a different MIDI interface to see if that's the culprit
@@SynthManiaDotCom Thanks again for the reply. I did try a couple of different interfaces and sadly it's the same across both. I'll have a tech look at it. All the best! Keep up the amazing work!!
Thank you!!
You can get the songs stems online
alukea by who? there's no way they're real...
They are real, they're from Rock Band 3 :) Only thing is that some drum parts are definitely re-recorded.
Nice, RZA used one of these real early on in his career.
Are any of the hits pitched at all?
Just the drum pattern alone is more complicated than entire mixes in today's music.
you are GURU!
Thankyou!
DM Vs DMX - what is the difference in the units ?
Love this video, thank you! PS: Does your MemoryMoog have the original PSU and fan or did you replace them? Mine gets really hot and I'm a bit nervous to leave it on for more than an hour or two at a time...
and soon behrimger will be making their own 'BMX' aka DMX
Synth "Almost-Never-In-Focus" Mania
yesss)
It's an audio channel so...
The name of the channel is Synth Mania, the synths are in focus and that's all that matters to him.
Did it with my iphone DM 1
what SWING did you set the unit to ?
How come the bass drum sounds so different in the original song? It sounds so much more punchy.
i heard blue monday then clicked this!
The LinnDrum claps were heard in Blue Monday.
Is this where the rapper got his name dmx from?
No, according to Wikipedia, for the DMX rapper it means "Divine Master Of the Unknown". Davy DMX, on the other hand, did.
