"Stress of the day" - on EMU Proformance/1+


YouTube via organfairy | November 09, 2010

"I must confess that I am not playing this in real-time. It is more or less the result of some hours spend playing around with a PC MIDI sequencer where I play the notes one at a time.

But I can surely take credit for composing this melody!

I bought this EMU piano synthesizer for the equivalent of 10$ at an outdoor second hand market. The electronics were fine but the power socket was loose and the previous owner had kept the cord in place by wrapping everything in duck tape (or duct tape (or whatever tape it was)). So I had some sticky business to take care of.

I use the EMU synthesizer for the piano sounds and the Roland JX-8P for the bass. The arpeggio is played on the Siel DK-80 and the drums on the Roland RA-30 arranger module. The Yamaha HE-8 organ takes care of the rest."
