A while ago Depeche Mode released a Video called '101' which featured Alan Wilder giving an overview of how he used the keyboard, he was using an Emax HD. However they have re-released it on DVD with an additional disk showing most of the concert which clearly shows all of them using their Emax's. Just thought I would let you all know. I was well chuffed. Chris

In 1984, they used Emulator IIs. In 1987 (for which that movie was shot) they used the Emax HD. Later they would switch to Emax IIs Turbos for their live performances (1990 and onward).

Just wondering if anyone here actually plays any Dep Mode covers? or has reconstructed any of their music on Emax or? I have many Dep covers I like to do and I have had to ground up sequence and build all the tracks. I used the Emax for some stuff but found a much better sequencer in the ensoniq SD1. I used the DM box set of singles to get the special effects into the Emax. Rich

sorry rich, its been the other way round for me, excorcising it into "not" sounding like, depeche mode, even tho i did really follow them. need some help with replacing the hard drive tho, any modern ideas? --- In emax@yahoogroups.com, mishon66@a... wrote: > Just wondering if anyone here actually plays any Dep Mode covers? or has reconstructed any of their music on Emax or? > > I have many Dep covers I like to do and I have had to ground up sequence and build all the tracks.

Over the years I have done quite a few DM covers, from a version of "Just Can't Get
Enough" that combines the live version with elements of the 12" and 7" versions. To a
version of "Behind the Wheel" that stuck to the album version, but had more dance
oriented drum programming. The BTW cover dates back to being sequenced on my
Commodore 64 (1988) with the drum programming done in my old RX-11. "Just Can't
Get Enough" was done in Cakewalk 5 (1998) and is heavely reliant on my ESI-32 since I
had to make a lot of custom samples of things like perfectly times Portamento sweeps.
Actually my favorite cover of the hundred I've done is the 12" version of "Situation" by
Yazoo. It's pretty much note for note and sound for sound which made pushing the ESi-
32 and Emax II filters to recreate most of those analog sounds including the reverse
noise gates and the cool filtered arpreggio. If I have time I'll make MP3 recordings of
them (minus vocals) and post them for everyone to here what I was able to achieve.

I have done "strange love" "stripped" and "behind the wheel" and several other's...most recently "in your room" with in your room I too mixed the live version from the Paris show (sort of acoustic style) with the album cut. I also found adding a slight dance feel to the tracks is easy and goes along way, but I found working with these tracks was an lesson in itself. I used every sequencing skill and learned many new things along the way. The closer you listen the more you will find and the more programming and custom work you will do on the Emax...and the SD1. For me it became a challenge and a learning tool at the same time. Richard In a message dated 3/13/2004 9:46:21 PM Eastern Standard Time, emaxjs@... writes:

That's the whole reason why I do covers. The only real training I have in songwriting and
even programming/sampling and sequencing comes from 20 years of doing covers. To
this day I still like to do work up cover versions of songs that remain true to the original
so I can pick up tricks along the way that I can add into my original songs. The key for
me though is to learn songs that stylistically aren't always in the same area as my
personal work. DM is and obvious link to what I do, but in the past I've been in cover
bands that did everything from Poison and Love and Rockets to bands that did OMD
and and (early) Ministry. Most recently my songwriting partner and I actually had two
different bands with just us in them. One does all original material and the other does
nothing but 80's synthpop. From DM, Erasure, New Order to Madonna, Dead or Alive
and the Eurythmics. A few obscure songs as well.

If your Hard Drive is dead, you can try my resurrection technique. It should be in the archives, but basically,all you do is open the emax, remove the cover from the HD (you don't need to remove the HD mounting to do this) and spin the disk of the HD from the metal middle bit a few times, apply power before closing either, and watch that HD spin!!!! Shock and periods of non use can cause it to stop again, but this has worked everytime for a few people. Also, for DP covers, you need a Pro One and an 808 ;)
