This was one of my first "projects" just as a proof of concept. It was created on a Yamaha PSS470  I don't think I like it well enough to turn it into a full blown song and youtube video.  But somebody might like it, so I left it here. 

Project01-PSS470

This is the theme song used for the first episode of 8-bit keys. It was created entirely on a Yamaha PSS470 (YM3812) using Audacity to record.  It has 7 tracks.

Project04-PSS470 (8-bit Keys theme music)

Formerly known as Project02, this song is one of my personal compositions.  "Frozen Lightyears" makes me think of a spacecraft traveling for hundreds of years while the crew are frozen in time.

This was created entirely on a Yamaha PSS-470, which is a kid's keyboard from the 1980's based on the YM3812 (adlib/soundblaster) chip.  There is absolutely no post-processing involved, this is what the keyboard actually sounds like (or would sound like if you had 5 of them playing at once)

Frozen Lightyears performed on PSS-470

Just a little something I put together at the spur of the moment on the Yamaha PSS-270.   The instrumentation and arrangement is similar to the incidental music used in Doctor Who during the late Tom Baker and Early Peter Davison era, which I always liked.  I plan to develop this song further and I'll try to come up with a name that reflects that.

Project06 - on Yamaha PSS-270

Based on the Wii homebrew channel theme song. 

Homebrew Channel (2015)

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!

Carol Of The Toy Keyboards

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 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.  

Warhawk Performed on Yamaha PSR-36

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.
