"Smurfentango" - on the small Casio keyboards

YouTube Uploaded by organfairy on Apr 9, 2012

"Sometimes I like to use rhythms that are not so common. On of them is the tango. For some reason most keyboards have a tango rhythm but frankly how many people do regularly play tangos?

So I decided on playing a tango using the rhythm and autobass from the Casio PT-80. The melody I am playing is "Smurfentango" from the first album with the smurfs from the late 1970's. It was written by Pierre Kartner who also performed it under the pseudonym Vader Abraham."

MAM SQ16 MIDI SEQUENCER

via this auction

"This beast of a hardware sequencer can sequence 13 seperate drum tracks (kick, snare, hihat, toms etc) to any midi channel, as well as a further 3 instrument tracks (synths, samplers, etc) to any midi channel.

i/o:

MIDI IN

MIDI OUT

MIDI THRU

SYNC OUT - to synchronize with anything that uses Din Sync - very powerful!

Has absolutely massive memory for pattern / song storage.

This is a very very VERY serious midi sequencer - incredibly powerful and quite unlike anything else. Although a little fiddly with menu combinations, the pay off is well worth it.

For example you can set when each step occurs from a slow and ponderous 1 step per 4 beats, to 8 steps for one beat, and the frankly amazing 'rotate' feature to create mind bending rhythmic variations on your patterns at the touch of a button."
