Rocking my my 7506's from begining to end what a gem of a toy honestly.

proof that it's not what your tools are but how you use them.

only comment I got is maybe provide a link to the original you've mentioned in your video that you played the snippet of this song from.

this is c00l. not as good as mimas.xmi song on Drugga1's page... because its even better than that.

Hope to have full track of this.  The original MOD verison is a bit....

The ambience at the start and end was recorded in my very own garden, at night. The clangs and bangs were done by smashing various stuff against an anvil I have in my garage.

This is my performance of an old Amiga MOD file called Luna-Waves on a Yamaha PSS-270.  

Watch the performance on YouTube:

 All of the sounds come from the PSS-270, although I did add some reverb on the drums and the metallic synth sound.  I did not perform the entire song.  This song was very difficult to learn and perform, so I only managed to do about 1/3 of the song before giving up... Mainly because Christmas is approaching and I wanted to work on a Christmas song.

This is my own custom version of Carol of the Bells, done with 4 vintage and toy keyboards:
Yamaha PSR-300 (1990)
Yamaha PSS-270 (1986)
Yamaha PSS-470 (1987)
Casio SA-76 (2015)

  Live Long, Toy Keyboards, and Merry Christmas!

This is another piece of background music I wrote using my PSR-36.  Nothing fancy, but it wasn't meant to be.  I thought I would share it here.

Project07 - Incidental Music

I created this on my PSR-36 for some background music in one of my upcoming 8Bit Guy episodes.  I thought I'd share it here too. It isn't anything fancy.

Project08 - Incidental Music

I've just finished a small test of Amiga1200 working with MIDI. 
Hardware: Yamaha QY70 + Amiga 1200 (MIDI).
Software: OctaMED 4.00.

Amiga 1200 - a computer launched in 1992. 14Mhz of Motorola CPU on-board. Mine has 10Mb of RAM. The song surely would work on standard 2Mb, without problems. 

Yamaha QY70 has been released in 1997. It's a very small synthesizer with sequencer (but can also work in MIDI mode), similar in its look to Atari Lynx handheld game-console. 
Sound generation method: AWM2.

OctaMED 4.00 - the series generally has been closed in 1992 (later the program became freeware). 
You can use 16 channels here, in the MIDI mode, however it still works as a tracker, so - for example - You cannot put a chord into one channel: You have to use 3 separate channels to make the chord. 

The full album "DEATH SQUAD" with this song - is here: http://yerzmyey.i-demo.pl

I've re-created the famous Rob Hubbard tune from the game WarHawk.  This tune was far more difficult than I thought it would be and took me probably 4 times as long as I thought it would. I really wanted to concentrate on showing off the keyboard, but instead I spent much more time trying to figure out the right notes to this song. I still think I have a few notes here and there that aren't right, but I just can't figure them out.

This is a little 4-track recording I did from a very primitive toy keyboard from the 80's, the Yamaha PSS-130.  It really only produces different square waves and has 2-note polyphony. Also I had to do a hardware modification so that I could even record from it since it had no line or headphone output.  So I drilled a hole and added an RCA output. Still, it was a fun little song to create.  

Watch the video of this song on YouTube:

Square Waves Delight!

Remake, or remix if you will, of my Technics KN-2000 original from 1994-95. Back then it was made with only five limited polyphonic parts: drums, bass and three melody parts (6, 1 and 3x4 notes!) using the composer, plus some effects added in the sequencer at the end. I may upload some of these songs from this era later on.

Here's a premixed video capture of the song back in 2009: https://youtu.be/NFVN5ZJPGfY

The 8-Bit Guy has just released his brand new RTS game for the Commodore 64. This is one of the idea sketches for a future port to MS-DOS where the intention is to have Roland MT-32 and Adlib music.  This can be a possibility if the C64 version is a success, so head over to the webshops to check it out:

Randomly heard this wonderful track - "Stars" by Visti & Meyland - and it immediately reminded me of something.. took me a while to realize.. but it's Jeroen Tel's fantastic music for the C64 game "Hot Rod" - so I did a little mashup edit of the track - Note that the full "Stars" is about twice as long, and has an amazing intro, worth checking out :)

(Pic from an 80s themed dinner/disco I was at recently!)
