Being so passionate as well gives u the focus and drive to experiment tirelessly as he must have done . Vince Clarks don't come along very often thank god he came in my time 😊
The sounds of the two first albums of Depeche Mode and first Yazoo should be tributed to Daniel Miller. Without him there wouldn't be a Depeche Mode to start with. The songs are Vince, but the sounds are Daniel Miller
@@mrlargo7067 Wasn't Eric Radcliffe working with Vince by the time Yazoo came about? He was credited as the producer, along with Yazoo (which for the most part means Vince). Miller might have loaned some equipment, but I think his creative work was with Depeche Mode at the time.
With the limited tools he had available back then, you gotta say what a musical genius Vince Clarke was [still is]... and he wrote/created everything from scratch too. The man who created the sound of my teens.
This is my favourite all-time song. I have so many happy memories of the summer of '82. Thank you so much for doing this. As for the original equipment, I'm pretty sure it was a Roland Jupiter 4 for the main melody, a Pro-One for the bass and a TR-808 for the drums. The 12" remix (and re-remix) dissects this song into all its constituent parts which is easier to hear. Great video !!!
Here are the source instruments: Synth Lead - SCI Prophet 5 Bass - Moog Multimoog Synth Fill - Roland System 100 Solo - Arp Odyssey Mk1 Drums - Roland TR-808
@@AutPen38 I can't say with absolute certainty since I wasn't there for the recording, but I pulled and saved this info from a magazine a long time ago. :)
The Yazoo group didn't have the means today to make this hit. They did it with analog synths and gave an inimitable sound. We see all the problems in recreating the original sounds. “Don’t go” will remain a hit, whatever we say, whatever we do! Many thanks, Dr Mix for this video! You make me want to do it again too! Cool!🤗
Guitar player here, but man, when your videos post, I just love watching and especially these recreation breakdowns. This one for sure didn't disappoint. This was great!
The original DW theme (1963-1979) was created primarily using tone generators for the melody - all the individual notes were recorded as separate tones and then spliced together. There were no keyboards played at all on any of it. I guess you mean the 1980-86 version, which was created using primarily the Yamaha CS80?
Being a MASSIVE Yazoo fan and just overall Vince Clarke fan-boy, this video was just heaven. I really enjoyed your attention to detail and frankly this was a synthesis masterclass as well. Love the way you dissect sounds and figure out how they are made.. definitely learned a lot. May I even suggest a complete series based on "hey how is that sound made" :)
I wish I had a copy of the magazine I read in the 80s. It had the patch settings for Only You by Yazoo. Yes he used a Sequencial Circuits Pro One. Also used a Roland Sh-101 too. And god knows many others I think lol.
According to Music Radar, that intro was done on an ARP 2600: "Don’t Go would be the second (smash) single from the pair’s debut LP, Upstairs at Eric’s. An earworm of an intro from an ARP 2600 sets the stage, carried along by an incessant bass courtesy of Clarke’s ever-present Sequential Circuits Pro-One. A thick Roland Juno-60 bass complements Moyet’s soulful voice."
This is one of my most favourite records growning up, and still is. Even music that sampled this like Two Without Hats"Try Taz", Lisa Lisa And The Cult Jam "Get It Together" Jam, and double U "Run To Me" Drive me nuts when I hear the samples. I was very excited to watch this................Until it just ended! PLEASE upload the entire video.
You have my best "Doctor"! I love your clips here........ DON'T GO is one of my favorite music from the 80s!!! Please remember: I am still in the STAND-BY-MODE for New Orders' Blue Monday!!! You are the best, Claudio!!!!!!!!!
Sequential Circuits Pro One for bass, ARP 2600 for lead and percussion, with TR-808 and Simmons Clap Trap, and Roland Jupiter 8, RSF Kobol, and Roland MC-4. I saw him saying he used all this for Don't Go. You made it sound close.
@@davidvanscouten7972 You're right, it's a eight note sequence (at least) that changes according to the harmonization... but for a short recreation demo it's OK, three notes give the idea. ;)
Hearing this reminds me of Tango and Cash. When Cash (Kurt Rusell) goes to the club to find Tango (Sly Stallone)'s sister Kiki. She comes out on stage with this playing. Great scene.
Here a more Ideas for Recreations: P. Lion: Happy Children My Mine: Hypnotic Tango Visage: Fade to grey Or think about Frankie goes to Hollywood...would be amazing to recreateTrevor🙂
I know Recreation's of Songs/Themes get "tiring" if it is done so frequently. But I have a suggestion. You guys should try and tackle the "Doctor Who Theme" for the 70's-80's. The synth sounds are extremely fat and the bass sample is right up you alley lol. There is actually a video of Peter Howell, who created the theme, show an interviewer how it was programmed to. Great video buy the way! Big Fan! :)
Vince Clark used the Roland Juno 60 and the Pro one for this record also drums, he use the ARP 2600 and the TR 808.. And this is straight from Vince himself
I've also read it was a Pron-One that did a lot of work on the song. I've done the lead sound before using an ARP (plus a couple of other bits). I did the same in two sws detuned, but to get the throatier octave lower sound I used PWM and detuned more than an octave.
@@rbrtck That's not the point. I don't have a Pro-1 and don't have any wish to buy one. I do have an ARP which is why I suggested that because others can try it. And no,. I don't use VSTs - not something I like.
The riff on Don't Go is Sequential Pro One, fairly easy to get an almost perfect match with u-he Repro, the seq arp is also Pro One. I did a quick and dirty remix of Don't Go the week after I got the u-he Repro vst. The kick drum is prolly a triggered Arp 2600, clap is ofc 808 through a dist and alot of reverb, bass might be Pro One, hard to get vst sounds to reproduce bass, it needs the heft and the snap of an analog output.
When I hear those punchy loops, like when you guys were testing snares, I have this Motown 25 performance Michael Jackson dancing in my head. Confident and mesmerizing. 😁😁 super love it
You are my synth Guru Dr. Mix! I love your recreation of all my synth favourites. I love it. Now when you have recreated Yazoos "Don´t go" theres no way round The Human Leagues "Don't You Want Me", please!❤
God it's been forever, but I think I remember reading Vince primarily used a Pro-One and a Jupiter-4 on Upstairs at Eric's. When he moved on from Depeche Mode that is. He switched from an SH-1 or an SH-101(along with Millers ARP2600) to the Pro-One. Been awhile since I followed what Vince was up to. I never really got into Erasure.
True, although just for completeness, Vince actually got the Jupiter-4 while he was still in Depeche Mode. I think the main reason he got it was the patch memory, which helped make things much easier during their gigs. I remember reading about him complaining about its weight, which is nearly 50 lbs, since he had to carry it with him on the train. That would have been quite a load to lug around on the train! Hopefully he had some straps to carry it more easily.

Vince clarke is a genius. This song is 42 years old and still sounds futuristic.
The only time in my life, where i can be super smug and say " you didnt witness the 80s....i did" over 40 years on and this track bangs
ok boomer
Please please please do not forget to give credit to her excellent awesome voice on the lyirics!!! I am so in love Alison Moyet's voice
Alison is the best! ❤

Claudio, The Synth used for the Main Riff was an ARP 2600 which was probably the one owned by Daniel Miller
Your absolutely right, is the ARP 2600, read that somewhere on a interview with Vince Clarke.
The Pro 1 is the bass.
State trooper - nonsense.

Here are the source instruments:
Synth Lead - SCI Prophet 5

I thought it was all done with an ARP 2600 (including the drums/percussion) and a Pro-1 for the bass.

Vince has stated that they used a Juno-60, too.
Fantastic to see Vince's synth tunes being recreated! It's also great to hear that Alison's voice is so strong even today. Gotta love a bit of Yazoo!!

The drums on the original are arp 2600 for kick (same kick used on DM Speak & Spell) and 808 on snare/hats.
Vince loved the kickdrum sound an ARP 2600 can do
You're right. Dr Mix is not a true Depeche maniac obviously.
True dat.
Guitar player here, but man, when your videos post, I just love watching and especially these recreation breakdowns. This one for sure didn't disappoint. This was great!
Dr Mix recreated songs videos are better than any show on TV any channel nowadays. Guys, pls don't stop, ever!
Sounds like he multi track layered the intro to my ears…. Vince man pure godlike
It’s these reconstructions that I love about this channel. Cheers Claudio! Much love 🤘
You should do a follow up with "Situation" by Yazoo. Also an iconic lead line. Not to mention it's amazing bass line
You should recreate the "Doctor Who" theme from the 70's-80's! :) Love your videos!

It's an ARP 2600 and the 'special sauce' for the lead is to modulate the filter with VCO2

Listening to the 12” version you can clearly hear the effect on top of the snare is a pitched down clap
Oh noo the video ends random in between 😢
Yaaaaaaaaaaazzzzoooooooooo 🎉 🎆🎇 all my youth ❤ Good work Claudio you are a great artist, you and your team of course.
I can remember doing all this type of work with synths and drum machines and sequencers way back when. How much easier it is today! Nice job, boys.
Vince Clarke was and is an analog synthesizer genius!! Please add the ending of the video. :)
I think the Bass drum and the clap are from the ARP 2600, the snare from 808.The bassline is from Pro One.
Doctor Mix flexin' again. Love it.
My fave song of Yaz’s! Alison’s voice has always really impressed me! :)
All time synth pop classic track
what happened at the end of the video? :(
I was wondering that too
Best part
Doctor Mix had to return to his home planet
@@zachary_attackerycalling interplanetary...
That was a sudden ending 😮
❤ beautiful Vincenzo Clarke 's song
Can’t wait for part two. The lead on the original sounds more brassy than what you created. Good work so far. I’m a big Vince Clarke fan.
True, some additional modulation is needed on the 2600, probably at audio frequencies.
You always brighten up my day Claudio. Thanks brother :)
MY FAVOURITE OF ALL TIME! I CRIED! Thanks to recreate it amico mio!
Hi Claudio, if U use the 12" version, you have a part where the bass is isolated. Great work again.
Yes, it's great for that
And not only that... ;)
And the arpeggiator is more complex than only three notes.
@@davidvanscouten7972 You're right, it's a eight note sequence (at least) that changes according to the harmonization... but for a short recreation demo it's OK, three notes give the idea. ;)
amazing that with today's technology you can play this whole thing on one keyboard. the one man band has arrived.
