Love Confession on Yamaha Electone EL90

YouTube via Tonneman

"Me playing "Love Confession" on the Yamaha Electone EL90. In 1986 (if I remember correctly) I reached second place in the finals of the national Yamaha Electone contests. That time, I performed this song on the Yamaha FX-20.

"Love Confession" has been composed by Ruud Jansen, who was my organteacher and coach back then. As far as I know, Ruud originally played this composition years begore I did (seventies?) and became nr 1 of the European Yamaha contest.

To play this piece on the EL90, I made the arrangements (registrations), rithm patterns and rithm sequences myself. I kept in mind the original arrangements and character of the song as I performed it back then on the FX-20.

Enjoy!"

Introducing Ichabod - Billy Corgan's Mattson Mini Modular

http://mattsonminimodular.com

"Ichabod is a custom MMMega system commissioned by Billy Corgan of ‘Smashing Pumpkins’.

The system is a 192 module space system comprised of three custom-built 4X wide central cabinets, four standard-size auxiliary 12-space cabinets that can be utilized independently and two custom designed cable caddies for storing and organizing patch cables. The color scheme is orange and black with custom logo panels. The case is hand crafted from African Padauk. Module placement was determined to assure that each cabinet could be utilized as a stand-alone system independent of the other cabinets. Ichabod configured as pictured measures about six feet wide (1.75m) and four feet (1.37m) high.

The final module compliment has yet to be determined and presently sports a whopping 32 VCO’s, 16 VCF’s, 16 ADSR Envelope Generators, 16 VCA’s and 8 MIDI-CV controllers to consist of the main control and audio chains. The remainder of the modules are a generous multiple selection of CV generation and signal processing modules.

Billy asked George Mattson of Mattson Mini Modular to design and build a sequencer to compliment the system. Coming soon is a 3-panel wide 8X3 analog sequencer that can be synchronized and run in series or parallel with multiple units. The project required that George finalize the designs of several module designs that were in development and lead to the creation of some new modules. The new modules will be presented throughout the week.

Ichabod is now cosmetically complete. Module manufacturing is in production with completion scheduled for July or August." Note you can see the new sequencer in the bottom row of cabinets, third from the left, top row. If you click on the image and look closely you will see other unannounced modules.

MegaSynth Sequencer Demo

YouTube via YonacSoftware
"Here is a quick demo of how to use the Sequencer in MegaSynth, for the iPhone and iPod Touch.

The first sequence played is a few opening notes from Lady Gaga's "Just Dance." These are all eighth notes, so each box will have an eighth note programmed in it. Also, the Attack button is used so that each eighth note is heard distinctly.

The second sequence is a little more complicated. It uses different note patterns, and also uses the silent button.

If you have any questions, or would like to suggest the next MegaSynth Demo topic, please leave a comment or send an e-mail to info@yonac.com. Thanks for watching!"
