Thank you for making these videos... You didn't just play it perfectly, you captured the magic of hearing these for the first time, and I was in my car yelling, "OMG!!!! Noooo!!!!" All while trying to hold back tears, thank you for making me feel so alive and connected to these melodies. What do you enjoy most about playing the keyboards? Wishing you all the very best and thank you so very much again 💯🎹❤️🥹🌠
@@NicolasMelis No, it hasn’t. 😥 On paper the MODX is much more powerful, and they certainly tried to implement the DX7 patches, however those don‘t sound as clear and powerful as on the original. Maybe a matter of the DACs?
Brazilian singer called ZIZI POSSI recorded a great song that were called "Noite" on 1986 with a great DX7 intro solo. Verinica Sabino, other Brazilian Singer in this same year, recorded a song were calle "Demais" with acoustic DX7 piano solo. Highly recomended to know
Wow, very nice playing! All that's missing now is to record this on an old cassette, let the tape melt in the sun on a car dashboard, and then play it back.
@@NicolasMelis You can buy (it's not expensive) baby version - Roland JD-08, it sounds almost the same as the original! Unfortunately, it can't directly load custom JD800/990 patches.
Would love to see you compose full length songs using the DX7 full tines synth.. very few are composing in this style anymore. I love hearing the sound of this.
My first synth was the Yamaha DX21 and I had so much fun with that and playing around with the FM synthesis on my SoundBlaster card (the early 90s was a fun time). I enjoyed that so much that I purchased a DX7-IIFD on Ebay around 1995 for $280 with a really nice padded case! Still have it today. the quality of the machine is unparalleled for the price...by comparison, the DeepMind 12 that I have feels cheap!
Personally I think the DX7 is a great looking synthesiser. Sounds and looks great after over 40 years. Can you post a video of some of Stevie Wonder piano parts?
@@martinbarrett6249 oh you mean general piano parts, not specific played with a Yamaha Dx7:) ok i will post a famous piano songs video on Tuesday which has some Stevie Wonder songs as well but i didn’t do that one which i love a lot too :)
@@retro-dademusic6403 i wrote down almost all the suggestions that i ve missed from comments from my previous videos, but this one was unfortunately not in them :) noted for maybe part 4 😁
Part 4: DeBarge - Who's Holding Donna Now; Chicago - You're the Inspiration; Kool and the Gang - Cherish; Simply Red - Holding Back The Years; Starship - Sara; Luis Miguel - Hasta que me olvides; Luis Miguel - Entrégate 🙏🙏
@@jamessantos1102 if you search load dx7 sounds on google you will find some i think!! But its quite easy you download the sound bank from the internet and then load it via midi to your dx7

I always love listening how you play all my favorite 80s songs it inspires me to play or practice on my keyboard thank you❤🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
Glad to hear that! 🎹🙏🎵
I have a MODX but none of its e-piano presets sounds as good as the DX7.
Thanks for reminding me of so many beautiful 80s intros. :)
Glad you like them! Modx has the same E-Piano like the Dx7? Good to know! Thanks :)

Dexed. Free DX7 plug in, and it's basically identical to the original. Even takes the same cartridge files.
Beautiful. I can listen to the DX7 electric piano all day
Glad you like it! 🎹🎵
This sound is beautiful and brilliant, nice playing ✨
Thank you 🎹🎹
Absolut!👌🙏👍❤️
I give you a clap hands and I praise you 👏👏👏👏. Your riffs are very romantic. Human, Beauty and the Beast, Coming Around Again, Weak, and more.
Sound very clean and blinkblink.. love it thank you for bring me in good memories with that sound DX7❤
Glad you enjoy it! Thank you 🙏
This warmth!!!!!!! Timeless!
Yes 🙌🎹
I can listen to these intros for a whole lazy Sunday afternoon
Glad you like them :)
My soul is synced to this after decades of conditioning. Such a unit.
Great synth 🎹
Nice playing love the yamaha DX7 one of the best selling products in the 80s❤❤❤

3 Luis Miguel songs? Awesome lml

I give a lot of credit to Robbie Buchanan to help establish Luis Miguel’s sound
"Hasta que me olvides" ¿no tenía también una intro con el DX7?
@@mddrum5afor sure!
@@andresmati will check it out :)
Sounds great, what effects are you running it through in logic?
A bit of Valhalla reverb and Arturia Juno Chorus

love the Valhalla reverb :)
Excellent!!

Great work! 😎
Thank you 🙏🎹

I just unplugged mine today. Makes me sad after having it for 40+ years it just wasn't working right anymore. To fix or not to fix...
To fix for sure
Actually, the song Beauty And The Beast used the Crystal Rhoads patch from Roland's JD-800 released in 1991 not a DX7
Yes i found that out later :)
Suzanne uses the DX7 E. Bass 1 preset too
Noted, Thanks for the info :)
@@NicolasMelis of course!
Thanks for including Anna by Toto
Love Toto! 🎹🎵
Using this and not playing the Dire Dire Docks music from Mario 64 is a travesty.
Yeah i have to do that one eventually :)
O DX7 tem saida de som mono , vc usou um reverb externo para o som ficar estereo?
I ve used Valhalla reverb
Very Nice , What type of preset are you using ? thanks in advance.
Thank you!! Its the Full Tines preset from Dx7 mk2 soundbank
@@NicolasMelis Thanks , but in the video I see Yamaha Dx7 Mk1,
@@gianlucaungarelli800 yes i ve loaded the dx7 mk2 bank via midi on my mk1
I was aware that Glenn Menderos had sung “Nothing’s Gonna Change my Love for You”, but I wasn’t conscious that George Benson had recorded it also.
I think the original was from George Benson and Menderos did his version after
@@NicolasMelis Correct!
Sounds great. Are you using any FX?
Thanks! Yes i am using a bit of chorus and reverb
@@NicolasMelis Are the chorus and reverb included in the Yamaha DX7 ? And is it possible to produce some sustain/release ?
@bobmartin1619 no its not included in the Dx7 , the effects are from my DAW! What do you mean by sustain release?
@@NicolasMelis I mean by sustain/release that the note does not fade when you release the key, this option exists on the Korg M1 for exemple.
@@bobmartin1619 oh unfortunately i don’t know about that
Nice

and even more DX7 songs such as: Ivan Lins - Iluminados
Do it now with Nico's inclusions
Glenn Medeiros - long & lasting love
Billy Ocean - there'll be sad songs to make me cry
Cheers from Brazil
I would love to hear the intro to (I've Had) The Time of my Life on the DX7! If that was the DX7 I was hearing.
Dirty dancing?
@@NicolasMelis Yes, Dirty Dancing! Loved the music from that movie, but that song was the best one. I mostly loved the keyboard used

BATB sounds like 2017 but in 80s
Also found later that the original is on a Roland JD800 not a Dx7 :)
