DX5 playing Duran Duran "Save a Prayer" (Arena)

[Thundercatsie]

Yow... its allways great to see/hear that there are people outthere with EXACTLY the same musical taste that i have... LOVE ALL 80's synth music. I bet u'd like Howard Jones' music as well! Can u do Mike Oldfield's stuff too? Keep up the good work...i'm loving it!

[hotwheelsruiz69]

Very nice work! Enjoyed it much.

[monkeyfuel04]

Is the JX doing the arpeggio and the flute sound? I love this song, mostly cause I can play it as well. It's one of the easier ones to play. Their new music contains more effects than straight up chords and arpeggios and it's harder to pick out synth parts to play.

[snidelywhiplash]

How close? Pretty effin' close, mate.

[gl1500ctv]

[Ke1ithLemon]

[bellavulveira]

[DameHaha2011]

Hi there, my friend and I visited a music store yesterday and we had a go on a Roland keyboard and tried getting the "Save a Prayer" sound as you demonstrate here?Would you mind telling me what settings you used?When we go back to college we'll probably have an attempt on the college's only Roland :) Thanks.

[TonartAM]

You played Duran with real feeling that was one of my favorite song in the 80's

Best regards

[edotom12]

[MrTamiya89]

i downloaded this one from different sites and they don't work on my keyboard but the rest of my midi songs work

[KDMatt]

Hmm, I'm sure suggesting ideas for new covers is pretty commonplace on your videos, but how do you feel about "The Great Commandment" by Camouflage? ... Just a thought. :) (Excellent job, btw!)

[oxygene65]

excellent

[kalan167]

absolutely beautiful!

[tobiasmute]

play something of kraftwerk

[chupsiq]

Quien fue el gilipollas que puso pulgar abajo? DX5 excelente cover!! Saludos desde Mexico!!!

[mindphaser23]

My band used to cover this song during my high school days. I played bass back then. All we had for keyboards was a Roland SH-101, but it sounded quite decent. Watching this definitely put me on a trip down memory lane. You did an awesome job. Cheers!

[hypnometal]

Great performance! This is one of my favorite songs ever! :-D

[moondog33]

Great job as always.... nice backing track ...too :) is that a synth guitar at the end?

[DX5]

@moondog33 not exactly. It's a DX7 thru Amplitube plug in

[synthartist69]

DX5, your the best man...my hero!

[manhenk]

I bet you don´t have a stereo at home.. you have yourself :-D As always.. just great!! the original isn´t any better... apart from the singing.. ;-)

[thornboy]

Superb, love the pitchbend at the end, made me dig out my Arena cassette (er.....cd)

[DX5]

@thornboy It is really a portamento effect. Keeping the same arpeggio type sequence, switching portamento on and varying time up and down. I've got "Arena" on Vinyl and CD.

[HambertHM]

Very, very nice!

[RIPmyers]

Very well done!!!! I hate to pry but how much does it cost for those keyboards? I have 7 guitars nowadays and just play them but I use to have keyboards back in the 80's and miss playing them.

[raymangold22]

@RIPmyers it depends who and where you buy it from. Classic Roland analog 'boards are typically $500 and upwards.

[IJustWatchEm71]

You rule!

[rob92376]

Challenge you to play undergoing treatment from Medezzland Album.

[JampyKeys]

Well done!!!

Fantastic. :)))
