Thanks. I really like the old-school analogue vibe you can get from what's otherwise a fairly basic keyboard.

I was looking for info about this keyboard and I found your video. I realize that, in the proper hands, it can offer very interesting possibilities. I enjoyed your demo and specially your music!!

The ADSR on that keyboard was a nice feature. It actually modulated the drum section too! Way cool for its era! Awesome tune too! Good work, awesome editing too! The pedal was a nice added touch with the sounds! Great depth and great ambiance too.

@alfonsemusic

Thanks. Yes, they're mine. I started this series of videos with the aim of seeing what I could write with just the sounds of one keyboard at a time. It's good to give yourself restrictions sometimes. You can also find the music on Bandcamp, Spotify, etc

Great work, this has to be the most fun MT. I especially like the information text about instruments and effects as the songs play. Having watched the vintage playlist, I am listening to it while I study ;) Can I please ask what software you use to produce your videos and apply text?

@alfonsemusic

3 жыл бұрын

Agreed, this MT offers a lot of entertainment. Thanks for watching! I'm using Final Cut Pro on a Mac and currently I do all the titling in that for speed of editing/amending, although you can potentially get slicker results making .png files in Photoshop or similar and using them as a layer over the video in Final Cut.

I just saw one of these in a used electronics store in Japan for 19,800 yen, Roughly $180.00 American dollars. I wanted to get some info to see if it was worth buying. I might have to pull the trigger after seeing this video. Thanks!

You're welcome! $180 is slightly on the high side compared to prices here when i bought mine, but if it's in good condition and especially if it has the original external speakers (mine were long gone) then you're unlikely to regret it - a lot of fun.
