at 3:00 the vibratoish long flute thingey almost sounds like some bagpipe maybe.

Moroccan Flute* you dumbass :rolleyes:































































*actually, it's more of Nadaswaram but there's no way really telling without actually seeing it up close.

I always thought that it was either a practice chanter or a bombard. Like RANN said, it's hard to tell from the video. Even the audio isn't that telling, but it has a reedy/bagpipe-ish quality to it (but without the telltale drone of a bagpipe/practice chanter)

I think that's a clarinet sample from the old Fairlight or Synclavier systems. It was used loads in the 80s, A-ha for sure and I seem to recall something in a Tanita Tikaram track as well.
tehlord
Yup it's in here too.

lol he's not blowing in it at the same time it's making a sound :toothless
cryophonik
Well, yeah, he's obviously lip-syncing it for the vid, but I think it's a real instrument. Martin Gore supposedly played an actual melodica on the track (and played it live as well), so it wouldn't surprise me that the other instrument was real, too. Then again, it could be sampled. One of my bands covered this song back in the day and I got pretty close to that sound using modified oboe patch from my Roland D20 of all things.

edit: f'in wikipedia has everything:

In addition to "found" sounds used as samples, the single also samples a variety of musical instruments, such as the xylophone and a melodica (which Martin has been known to play on stage for the song).

its supposed to be a pungi, and since it is depeche mode, they made it gay with the fair light. do you guys not read ?

To the OP:
The English language is dead at your feet, blood leaking from the chainsaw wounds in its chest as you ejaculate over its mangled corpse.

what preset is this? vanguard?
DJ RANN
It's not a pungi; they have a large ball like chamber near the reed and it's splits in to two pipes at the end.

Again, what you actually see in the video is a moroccan flute or Nadaswaram for it's technical name. But I'm actually leaning towards Geoff's answer as it's really quite difficult to play a straight note with those instruments and the sound in the track only has vibrato at the end which is also a little synthetic.
