Playing around with making a eurorack version of Blue Monday after realising it will be 40 years since its initial release on March 7th.
I can’t seem to make my Erica Synths kick sound like the original DMX so I’m semi cheating by using DMX samples from Samples From Mars in my 1010 Bitbox.
Such a great track, played it hundreds of times yet that simple drum track get me every time.
I’ve had good luck playing samples from mars in SFZ player (for the ones that have an SFZ version).
A little bit after that song New Order were using three Voyetra-8s on stage. They were super nice. I ended up talking to them alone in some room backstage at Madison Square Garden. After a long talk about synths, I added an arpeggiator mode for them the next day. They said if I was ever in Manchester should come visit at the Hacienda. At the time I had never heard of that place.
Used to go to the Hacienda occasionally when I was a student in the 80s. It was a bit of a bad venue for gigs, not great acoustics or sightlines, but a fun place to hang out before it became super trendy and invaded by gangs. You used to be able to get a multi venue ticket that would get you into there and Sanky’s which unbelievably tried to replicate an Ibiza foam party nightclub in rainy freezing Manchester 
Yeah, always regretted not making it over there to see it.
It made a great first impression because the first thing you went through on the way in was long dangling translucent plastic sheets like you’d get if entering a commercial freezer. Not very Madison Square Garden.
For reference
Nice, just to be clear the one I’m attempting will be purely hardware eurorack. Now have a Qu Bit Chords module for the poly chords plus a few other modules that can step in to fake things like choirs and the like. Then a bit of actual bass and guitar over the top hopefully.
From what I’ve done so far I can tell the Erica Synths Bassline module is absolutely made for this job.
Cool! I have Qubit Chords too, keen to see your version.
A song with a back story…
Always loved Pulp, saw them at different ends of their career and they always put on a show. Bass player Steve Mackey has gone today, RIP.
Somehow it sounds japanese to me. Like Japanese shoegaze\post-rock bands…
