Nice sounds... great job.. the only thing I must notice is that one note is different from the original... you can hear it for the first time at 1:28 .. part from that ... awesome...
Love the way this kind of music was created: minimal yet so powerful. You'd never get away with writing music like this now. It'd be regarded as 'lazy' I suspect. I've made some notes, might have a go at it myself in my DAW. Thanks David!
Good tutorial David. You made a good song sound so professional and helpful to create. Wishing you a Merry Christmas and all the best for the New Year. Look forward as always to seeing more great content from you. 🎹👍
Hi Bruce, glad you enjoy my tutorials, it's just a hobby that I do when I get some spare time. Thanks for the suggestion. I never make any promises but I will take a listen to the original and have a play around with the JD-Xi to see what I can achieve. All the best, David 🎹🎶👍
Hi David Many thanks for the videos. Could you possibly have a go at recreating Depeche Mode’s Enjoy the Silence? It’s a great track and although several people have their own versions on here, nobody has a breakdown of a jdxi version. Could you also do a video on saving to banks/favourites in more detail too? Keep up the good work!
Hi Tony, I have made a cover version of Enjoy the Silence where I used my JD-Xi to create a backing track for my guitar and vocals. I'll have a look to see if it's adaptable to play in a guitar sound as it is quite a dominant part. Also, I'll have a go at a basic tutorial too once I finish the tracks I'm currently working on. All the best, David 🎶🎹👍
Thanks David Just watched the video you produced & love it. Is there any chance you could provide the voices you used on the JDXI and bpm and drum pattern? Many thanks
I'm finally getting somewhere with the jd xi David....some things have taken me a while to get a grasp of...not that easy is it lol....but I can copy sequences now which saves me having to keep re doing the drums etc....but I'm doing OK 👍 figuring it out....having a go on this track now 😀
Really glad to hear that you're making progress with your JD-Xi Dave. They say that anything worth doing takes a bit of time and effort. Good look with The Model, it's a great one to play. All the best, David 🎹🎶👍
@@DavidGordonJDXi I kind of knew how to play this one...but it never sounded quite the same on piano...so I can real time record...it was just getting my timing right...erased a few times until I got it spot on.....I'm wondering if there's any kind of sheet music specifically for synth music out there with bass lines drum patterns etc....I'm just wondering how you figure it all out...is it solely by ear??
@@davegill7614 I can mostly figure out patterns by ear. But I'll often search RUclips for drum tutorials or any chords that I need. I can read music a little but not enough to play from
@@DavidGordonJDXi the best musicians can't read music...that's a compliment to you...dave grohl of the foo fighters can't read music and he's probably one of the best drummers in the world..superb on guitar..and can play keyboards blows my mind how he can do it.....I might try and figure out human league don't you want me baby...that's a great synth tune
I'm interested in your opinion on the jd xi...I play piano and keyboards I use a roland fp30 as piano and a roland fa06 for other stuff....are these any good...they look fun for the price...might pick up one on ebay
The JD-Xi is an amazing production tool, especially the sequencer as I've never had one before. I don't find the keyboard very playable and the small keys feel flimsy. But as long as you realise this, you can have a tremendous amount of fun with the complete package. It's taught me a lot about drum programming and I am now able to tackle some complex patterns to good effect. I don't think that you'll be disappointed if you get one. Thanks for commenting, all the best, David 🎶👍
I find it very intuitive as there are a few ways to use the sequencer. Have a look at some of my more recent tutorials as I do a few from scratch and they'll probably give you a better idea. This is a good example.... ruclips.net/video/AmQoHyheF2c/видео.html
Very nice, it sound great!...I will say impresive!.....it will be nice to see more details how you created the sequences from scrach...at least 2, 3 of the sequences, I mean to show us how you chose the bank , how you recorded and saved. It is on RUclips a melody called Volcano Symphony, do you think you can do that one?..it is far less difficult then the Kraftwerg. Thank you so much

Thanks Steven will do - Merry Christmas
sounds GREAT! quite authentic from the little beastie jdxi!😜
Thanks for your comment - all the best for the New Year :)
Wow, so the 4 bar drum pattern never changes throughout the entire song? Amazing.
Sometimes the simpler the better 🎹🎶👍
@@DavidGordonJDXi Yes! Your Model is spectacular. I'm a huge Kraftwerk fan, and it is a great and concise cover. Peace!
Excellent performance.
Thanks Rickie - much appreciated - Merry Christmas to you :)
Hi David, fascinating tutorials, could you do a breakdown of Tour de France please😊🚲
Hi Bruce, glad you enjoy my tutorials, it's just a hobby that I do when I get some spare time. Thanks for the suggestion. I never make any promises but I will take a listen to the original and have a play around with the JD-Xi to see what I can achieve.

Thanks David, it would certainly be a challenge, keep up the good work😊
Wonderful
Thank you 🎶👍

Merry Xmas and Happy New Year. Hey what about tackling Neon Lights, Autobahn and or other Kraftwerk stuff?
I've got Autobahn lined up to do soon :)
That's really good my friend...but you need to do it from scratch...step by step
This was one of my earlier tutorials and I wasn't sure quite how much detail to go into. It has been very popular. Thanks for commenting 🎶👍

@@DavidGordonJDXi Sweet! Thanks Didn't realize you did a cover of it already as well. Gosh 👍👍
@@dpalaoro we did a count a while back and there's well over 50 cover versions on my channel! Hope you enjoy it 🎹🎶👍
@@DavidGordonJDXi ❤️
My GD xi does not respond to chord changes when playing patterns, tell me please what to do to make chord transposition work!?
Press "Auto-note" and "Enter" together. This feature only works on the newer JD -Xi or ones that have version 1.5 firmware. Hope this helps you 👍
Very nice, it sound great!...I will say impresive!.....it will be nice to see more details how you created the sequences from scrach...at least 2, 3 of the sequences, I mean to show us how you chose the bank , how you recorded and saved.
It is on RUclips a melody called Volcano Symphony, do you think you can do that one?..it is far less difficult then the Kraftwerg.

Thanks again for your comments. Maybe at some point in the future I'll do a more in depth video. 👍
Interesting. The last note of the "synth solo" is wrong though.
I don't think I'm going to lose any sleep over one note 😂

Sorry, but I'm not sure what you comment means?
Nice! Not useful but very interesting. Thanks.
You're welcome 👍
