You can find a free Xmas mp3 by Hong Kong In The 60s on last.fm, here."It was made with a Casiotone MT-68, a Casio SK-1, sampled Korg Minipops 7, acoustic guitar, sleigh bells, fire and voice."
"In the pic we're playing live with a Casiotone MT-68 and a VL-Tone.
Specific detail about the song:
The theremin-style section towards the end of the song (where vocals come in) is a good example of the SK-1's great portamento function, which I think is under-appreciated. The oom-pa-pa bassy organ sound that occurs through most of the song is provided by the Casiotone MT-68, and the lead pling-plong melody is the MT-68 with its fantastic modulation settings applied to the sound. There's also a quiet arpeggio throughout the song which again was created with the MT-68's modulation settings applied (plus some external wah/phase).
Percussion is from a sampled Korg Minipops 7.
The MT-68 is I think one of the greatest keyboards ever, and all of our songs feature it. (http://www.myspace.com/hongkonginthe60s)
