Elkasampler E-19

An up-tempo tune made from samples recorded from the Elka E-19 organ, with a little modern interlude sandwiched in.

Alternative Epilogue

A happy little tune composed on a thrift store rescue, the Yamaha PSR-12 (with some modern strings at the end).

Tamagotcha

This tune is built upon a noticeably nineties theme, an organ riff reminiscent to the cheesy pop hits of the 90s.

PSSt, There’s Something in the Mix

A poppy little piece with a hint of a swing, assembled with some fixin’s from Audio Animals’ Status VST bank based on the old Yamaha PortaSound PSS-480.

Auto at the Disco

Here’s a tune that sandwiches a Korg i3 workstation synth into the MIDI path of a Yamaha PortaTone keyboard’s auto accompaniment function set to Disco. Throw in a bit of live piano and some melodies played on the i3 and an old Korg MS-10 analogue synth, and you end up with this happy, poppy song.

The House on 25 Yamaha Street

Two synths a decade apart: the Yamaha PSR-225 from 1998, sending its auto-accompaniment tracks to the Yamaha MM6 from 2008. In this selection, a nineties House style played through a far more modern Motif-based sound engine.

The Vanities of Cassiopeia

Composed using rhythm, accompaniment and tones from an old 80s-era Casio CTK-510 keyboard. For a cheap edutainment keyboard, it can sound pretty nice when sandwiched into a modern production environment.
