Yamaha SHS-10 / Cheesecakes



"A little break from the usual. Not in the mood for anything serious, I decided to dig up my beloved Yamaha SHS-10 keytar and make a cheesy synthpop-styled song using its sounds. An internal preset-rhythm from the SHS-10 is used and MIDI-synced to my Alesis SR-18 to give it some additional kick and flavor. Now here's the result, so enjoy and don't take too seriously :)

"The Yamaha SHS-10 from 1987 is a two-operator FM synthesizer and a keytar (a synth that can be held like a guitar). It has a 32-note mini keyboard and 25 preset patches that have a cool and very cheesy lo-fi quality. What's awesome is that this keytar supports MIDI and can thus control external equipment. You can, for example, play the sounds of any MIDI-equipped synth with this or synchronize the preset drum patterns to midi clock."

Sounds & equipment:

All sounds & percussion: Yamaha SHS-10 FM-keytar
Drums: Alesis SR-18 (MIDI-synced to the Yamaha SHS-10)"
