    It's just mindblowing that this one sound evokes so many emotions. Not just nostalgia, but it has a beauty and elegance that is utterly unique. It's even more incredible to think that this was probably an accident, when the sound designers were trying to emulate a Fender Rhodes, which itself was just trying to be a portable piano with compromises.

      i am pretty sure it's modeled after a chorus Fender Rhodes. My fave keyboard sound of the 1980s! i honestly prefer the real thing to this sound, but that's not to say that this sound doesn't bring back a LOT of memories! i did grow up in the 80s after all, when this sound was used all over! lol

    Nice performance. The Yamaha DX7 was the best selling digital synth, with over 200,000 sold in its lifetime. It can be heard in such 80s songs such as Axel F, Danger Zone, Top Gun Anthem, and many more.

    Tony Banks used the DX7 so much over the years, as did Phil Collins with so many of his songs, even just playing the two notes on ‘something happened on the way to heaven’ which can be seen on the Live Berlin footage. Great machine. As a boy our music dept loaned one for a while at school. It was quite something having an electric keyboard that didnt have its own speakers 🤯🤯😆

    This sound (Full Tines) is a preset from the DX7II-FD from '86, but if you find the sysex online you can load it in a mark 1 DX7 as well.

    I started with a DX7 in 1987 that I would rent from a young cousin, for $5 per gig. Then I added a DX7II (stereo!). Three DX7s. Then in 1990 I got the SY-77 which could stack 2 DX7s at once, if needed (8 note polyphony). And I'm still using that on stage. Replaced the key bed twice. Still going.

    I’ve been thinking about including this particular sound in my original work again, anyway. I haven’t done that for a number of years. This particular video is making me think it’s probably about time.

  • @CrossEyedLion85

    I hope you make more videos like this with all the patches of the DX-7. Since I started listening to DX-7 videos it's so much fun hearing and recognizing all the different DX-7 sounds in 80s music and modern synth music as well.

    I liked your version on the dx better than the original of Against All Odds.
    That one is piano and the theme-atmosphere works out much better on the Yamaha, in my opinion.
    .
    It's a fun thing to listen to your playing and then look up the original 🙂
    Love the playing and the sound.
    Maybe I'll buy myself a tx802 someday ....

    Thanks for this, thumbs up.

      It is possible to install a PLG150-DX (basically DX7 on a card) into a S90 (and some other Yamaha synths from that era) - then you can layer those sounds!
