Live 1984 version. Just checking how a Roland JX-8P can sound close to Nick's Jupiter 8.

Quick done Backing track recorded in Pro Tools. JP8 arp was made with both a D10 and a JP8000.

Composed by Le Bon/Rhodes/Taylor

  • awesome dude!

  • @DJTBS1 Thanks Ted!

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

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

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

  • @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.

  • 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!

  • Very nice work! Enjoyed it much.

  • 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.

  • How close? Pretty effin' close, mate.

  • As always you did awesome! Great talent, good ear! Thanks for posting!

  • Fantastic!. This is my fave duran song the sounds are awesome

  • This sounds fantastic!

  • One of the few songs that gets better at the end!!

  • ohmy! you always surprise me :)

  • 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.
