Revision as of 23:13, 10 June 2019

Notes

In 2011, former Depeche Mode member Alan Wilder announced the Alan Wilder / Depeche Mode Collection, an historic equipment, vinyl, and memorabilia auction organized in partnership with Omega Auctions. Held at the Manchester Zion Arts Centre, the auction put $329,600+[1] worth of Depeche Mode and Recoil memorabilia under the hammer, serving bidders both in-person and online.

General information

The Alan Wilder / Depeche Mode Collection: 20 x AW / DM sound sample ZIP discs

Among the items sold at the Alan Wilder / Depeche Mode Collection were twenty zip discs[2]. Each bank contains an array of sounds allocated across the keyboard for live performances. In nearly all cases, the samples were sourced from the original multitrack recordings.[3] (personally numbered and signed by Alan. Each disc contained a collection of sound banks as originally programmed by Alan for the EMU Emax and Emax II sampling keyboards during for the 1987-1988 Music For The Masses Tour and 1993 Devotional Tour[3]. Each bank contains an array of sounds allocated across the keyboard for live performances. In nearly all cases, the samples were sourced from the original multitrack recordings.[3] Among these banks are sounds for song versions which were only ever performed live, plus songs which never made the final tour set list.

Copied from the original auction listing[3]:

The Zip discs will work in any suitable Zip drive and connect to the Emax via a scuzi[4] cable. Despite our best efforts, we were unable to transfer everything absolutely perfectly from the original floppies. The vast majority of sounds are fully in tact[sic] but one or two have small corruptions at the end of notes. The good news is that, with a bit of careful editing, these glitches can be removed. (Thanks goes to Tom[5] & Simon for their help).

The sound banks included on the zip discs were not the only banks made available at the auction. Certain pieces of equipment, such as Alan's EMU Emulator II, were listed as including unlisted Depeche Mode and Recoil sound banks, plus a large collection of various Emulator II sample library banks. If you possess these unlisted Depeche Mode or Recoil sound banks, please reach out to [email protected].

Alan's Comments

Copied from the original auction listing[3]:

I spent many hours (days!) programming each member’s keyboards for the tours, painstakingly trying to recreate as accurately as possible the sounds we formulated and used on the records. The Emax was a perfect tool for the live re-creations. This collection covers most of my own sounds for the two tours, although I did play live drums on some songs. I tried all these out recently and discovered how much fun it is to work out the various parts we all used to play. I even found some guide sounds which weren’t actually performed live but were used to demonstrate parts to others. For example, I discovered some guide vocals for Condemnation which were sampled to help routine our girl backing vocalists[6] during the rehearsals.[7]

Sound Banks

Due to the unlisted nature of some sound banks that were sold separately from the documented zip disc sound banks, these tables list the sound banks as described on the auction page with additional information on sound banks that are not documented there.

Sequences

A couple tracks have sequences that originate from Alan Wilder's setup; one track is sourced from an Emax II ZIP disc, the other from an Emulator II floppy disc. Neither of these are from the 2011 auction.

Never Turn Your Back On Mother Earth

The sequence for Never Turn Your Back On Mother Earth was present on one of Alan Wilder's Emax II ZIP discs, as told to me directly from an anonymous source who worked with Alan during his 2011 auction. The quality is somewhat degraded due to age of the ZIP discs[3] and lossy audio compression used for this track. The pops and clicks in the middle section specifically are the most obvious audible result of the degradation due to age. ZIP discs are notorious for their poor reliability, so this situation certainly makes sense. This track was previously thought to be a well-made fan cover, but I believe it is a legitimate sequence that was used during the tour. This information also appears on the 1987 - 1988 Music For The Masses Tour Backing Tapes page.

Christmas Island

A sequence of Christmas Island sourced from one of Alan's Emulator II floppy discs was sent to me by an anonymous source. The quality is significantly better compared to the sequence of Never Turn Your Back On Mother Earth above, which is sourced from degraded Emax II ZIP discs.

If you listen closely towards the end of Alan Wilder's Emulator II demonstration video below, it seems that this sequence was the one he played over.
