Description

In this video, I recreate the keyboard sounds from Dire Straits' classic hit "Walk Of Life." The Yamaha DX1 is renowned for its lush, powerful FM character, and I break down what patches I used to get as close to the original recording as possible. For the final mix, some EQ was applied as well. Enjoy!
