pfontaine2 Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 I made this video earlier today with my two Casio keyboards, trying to recreate a piece of music I wrote about twenty years ago. The XW-P1 is doing a classic Mini Moog lead sound and the WK-7500 is doing the backing pattern and Hammond organ sound. The sound isn't direct input so the "mix" isn't great (there's no bass to speak of) and you hear my fingers hitting the keys, but it was a fun experiment for a Sunday afternoon!

AlenK Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Very nice! You are being entirely too modest about your own playing. I didn't hear any obvious duff notes, which is impressive given you say you improvised half of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnomo Alegre Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Hello:You're good for playing music. If that is a Saturday afternoon, the other days? Congratulations on the musical piece from twenty years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Null Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Great piece of improvisation. Nice beat, very catchy melody. You really should do a proper recording and put it up on soundcloud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pfontaine2 Posted July 30, 2013 Author Share Posted July 30, 2013 The original version (probably recorded around 1993) is already on my SoundCloud page: https://soundcloud.com/pfontaine/hammond-eggs This version certainly sounds fuller because of all the keyboards I was using at the time including a Casio CZ-101, a Yamaha YS-200 FM synth, a Korg piano module and a Kawai PH50 Pop Keyboard. It was sequenced into a Yamaha hardware sequencer and played back over MIDI. The audio was routed through an Alesis reverb unit and recorded directly to cassette. I could certainly do a more polished version with my current keyboards but I really wanted to see what I could do playing it live rather than sequenced.
