How to play Oxygene in a toy organ

YouTube via cmatsuoka
"This is a rendition of Jarre's Oxygene played entirely on a cheap Casio toy organ (except percussion and sound effects), just to see if it was possible to get a minimally recognizable result, and to show that you don't need lots of expensive keyboards to have fun playing classic synth stuff. All lines were played by hand with no sequencer and no MIDI, just a multitrack recorder.

I only studied each part briefly before recording, so don't expect note-by-note accuracy. Some parts were just ad-libbed or deliberately changed to sound better with the (very) limited range of available sounds, but you'll get a general idea of arrangements and overall mood.

So that's it, get your $20 keyboard and enjoy!"

Patch of the Day - Arrhythmia

Arrhythmia by navs

"All elements were triggered from a single clock source with subsequent rhythms derived from a home-brew dual comparator, Doepfer A-143-1 and Plan B Model 10. A sequential switch was used to inject random timing and pitch modulation." More details on navs.modular.lab

"This will eventually be a series of synthesizers which respond to light, positioned together with a series of lights that respond to sound. Exterior sounds generate light, which in turn generates sound, creating a loop of flashing light and noise. Components are housed in clear glass containers and each element is different, making a family of organic self-perpetuating characters which respond to each other as well as audience interaction."
