Thats the best D50 video Ive seen - loved every second of it.

Ive got a few synths ( jd800 / jp 8000 included ) but Ive yet to get a D50 - will dither no longer though as they're great fun and a classic to have in your collection.

May I ask, how much modifying will I need to do to get your soundbank? Are all those presets we hear?

Thanks man.
They are all presets, exept the Revolutions sequencer bass which I found in a sysX and modified it. There are some other preset surgestions for that sound, but I don't think they sound right, and I have even cheated myself, since I couldn't play two sounds together, so I mixed in a pitch shifted version to have more bass :mrgreen:

Most of them are presets with little modification, mostly effect and balance between Upper and Lower ....and adjustment on velocity since all sounds are VERY sensitive in velocity difference - D-50 really needed a fixed velocity mode :)

I did some EQ on the final sound mix and added some ekstra reverb on a few sounds.

Michel Geiss told me, that he was not so deeply involved with the album, but mister Perrier was, so I actually think he recorded the most of the album ;)

I have a Yamaha KX-5 and let me be honest, this keytar was NOT used for anything live in Docklands - it's simply not possible to play the Dominique parts one that, regarding range and the mix between pitch and modulation control - sorry.

Thanks for that my friend,

I don't think much at all was played live at the earlier big concerts - certainly not what we hear on the albums - They are just play back and mime.
