12/31/2022 0 Comments Dx7 patches![]() ![]() The DX7 was apparently (I need confirmation on exactly which parts and patches) used on other songs such as A Kind of Magic, Who Wants to Live Forever, Pain Is So Close to Pleasure, One Year of Love, Rain Must Fall, Was It All Worth It and a few others. Anyway I digress, I have gone through all the DX7 patches and I cannot find any which match the One Vision sound, so it is doubtful it was used on the album version of the song from the ‘A Kind of Magic’ album. ![]() In fact the Jupiter-8 was probably used to arpeggiate the Bass Riff of Radio Ga Ga. However, you will notice a MIDI cable on that video and the chances are this DX7 was only used as the MIDI Out and it was actually connected to some other synth for the final ‘One Vision’ intro we know and love – perhaps the Jupiter-8 as Queen had one of these also. Queen had a DX7 and in the video showing the recording of ‘One Vision’ and you can see Brian playing the intro to One Vision on a Yamaha DX7. I would guess that I used it for songs like Jump (Van Halen) at the time as Queen wasn’t on my radar (sadly) until the early 90s. ![]() The DX7 was a digital synth produced by Yamaha between 19. I was lucky enough to have used and borrowed a few DX7s back in the late 80s (it was probably between 19) and it was a fantastic synth for its time.
