World of Commodore 2009 – 8 Bit Music Jam
Leif Bloomquist, Chiron Bramberger and I jamming live on Commodore 8 bit – Commodore 64, PET and Vic 20 with back beats courtesy of Leif. Here’s the best part… this was completely impromptu. We did not plan this nor had played together before. Thanks to Ian McIntosh for capturing this.
Commodore 64 MSSIAH Demo – With 8 Bit Dubstep
Part of my studio synth tech includes a Commodore 64 (SX64) running MSSIAH, which is a fairly new suite of music software tools that also include MIDI. Majority of this song is actually done using MSSIAH’s various tools. The electric piano and the strings are my Korg M50. Some of the drum tracks are MSSIAH,…
Yamaha SK50D – Seeing Double…
I recently acquired a second Yamaha SK50D in pretty much the same condition as my first one. The second unit is actually older than mine and has a serial number in the 300’s. Mine is in the 2000’s. The slider knob colours for Upper Organ and Solo Synth are reversed between the two, and mine…
AKAI AX60 – Routing S612 Sampler through the AX60
AKAI AX60’s can be connected to S612/900 samplers so that the samples become a waveform or oscillator on the synthesizer. These get routed through the keyboard’s filters. It really expands the capabilities of both machines when used together. A brief demo showing this combination.
Yamaha SK50D – Using Control Voltage Out
Yamaha SK50D synthesizers have Control Voltage (CV) In/Out, and Trigger In/Out on the back. I picked up a Yamaha CS5 from a friend recently and decided to hook them together. Nice result! Made a short video just to demonstrate how this adds to the SK50D’s capabilities.
Yamaha SK50D – Leslie Speaker Controls
Yamaha SK50D synthesizers have a Leslie speaker output on the back to work with 2-channel Leslie speakers, like the 815, 715, HL-722, HL-822 and HL-422 and 415 models. They’re the last generation of the older 11-pin connector Leslie speaker company. The SK50D also has controls for both manuals so you can select which keyboards and…
Yamaha SK50D Synthesizer – The Pedals
I recently obtained the hard to find Yamaha BP-2 bass pedals for my Yamaha SK50D and decided it was time to shoot a video showing the various pedals I used with the SK50D. Believe it or not, there are a few more pedal inputs on the back of the keyboard I’m not even using. It’s…
Yamaha SK50D Synthesizer – Solo Synthesizer Section
This instructional video is the 3rd in the series and covers the Solo Synthesizer section of the Yamaha SK50D synthesizer. While shooting the video, I realized the easiest way to show you some of the capabilities was just to play around. Enjoy!
Yamaha SK50D Synthesizer – Organ Sections
This instructional video is the 2nd in the series and covers the organ sections of the Yamaha SK50D synthesizer. Here I cover upper, lower, bass sections and also talk about the leslie emulator on board (which I’m not using).
