"VINTAGE CASIO CZ-1 Synthesizer with a LEXICON PCM90 Reverb. Improv. 'Inner Joy'

In this demo, I play a VINTAGE CASIO CZ-1 Synthesizer (big brother to the CASIO CZ-101) sound through the classic LEXICON PCM90 Reverb. Two of them are housed in a LEXICON LDI-12T PC Interface. The track is an improv around a riff I thought up moments before the demo.

I was feeling happy as I’d just got the LEXICON LDI-12T working again after being years out of service. Fiddling around, these chords came to mind. As it was a demo I quickly recorded before the idea left me. There is no programming involved. There are times when you just need to play.

So, why the LEXICON PCM-90 Reverb? Well, it gives THAT distinctive reverb sound which oozes quality. Reverb is a very important part of recording giving the instrument or vocal depth or near-field presence.

These demos were played live, then received a few little tweaks here and there because in real life my brain and fingers fall in and out of alignment. However in this case I left a few small errors in, just so you know I wasn’t faking it. I was happy! Sadly since then the Lexicon interface and its reverbs have died again. Oh well, back to the VST plugins!"
