I've been wanting to make a cover of this song for a very long time now, and I finally did it! The song was pretty simple to play, since it only uses the Yamaha DX7's 'Koto' sound, but after recreating the drums, I realised that Prince made a great decision to not add a bassline. The Linn LM-1 does all the low-end sounds very well. The drum patterns are actually very complex. I recreated the pad with a self programmed patch on the Roland Alpha Juno 2. I had a lot of fun making this, and I hope that you enjoy it!
Gear used:
-Yamaha DX7 mk1
-Roland Alpha Juno 2
-Linn LM-1 drum machine (samples)
-Everything has been mixed and mastered in FL Studio 20.

Hello everyone, welcome to my YouTube channel called Luka Ray! My name is Luka and I'm 19 years old. My hobbies are making 80s music, enjoying 80s songs, movies and TV shows. I'm a huge fan of the 80s time period and I also love its music. I play synthesizers myself, at the moment a Yamaha DX7, a Roland D-50, a Roland Alpha Juno 2 and a Roland JX-8P. I also own the Roland TR-626 drummachine. I try to make covers of popular 80s songs, but I also love making my own songs, like Italo Disco for example. Have fun watching my videos and thanks for the support!
