Toy keyboard Christmas demos - Yamaha PSS-190 - Silent night

Published on Dec 25, 2017 organfairy

"It has been a while since I have played the smaller items of my humble organ and keyboard collection. But this time I will let some of them play all by themselfes.

I have noticed that often toy keyboards have at least one Christmas song on their repertoire of demo melodies. This is probably because in the 1980s and 1990s many of them were given as Christmas presents.

But since Christmas is here once again, I will play (if you can call pressing a button that says 'DEMO' playing) some of the Christmas demos that my toy keyboards are capable of playing. The first one is a Yamaha PSS-190 that plays 'Silent Night'."

This was a fun tune to make. I'll upload a separate video explaining the gear I used for this tune. The footage is from Astoria and Cannon Beach Oregon. We were checking out the Goonies locations. :) Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! :) Sam."

Merry Christmas!!!

Merry Christmas everyone!!!

Here are a few pics of the MATRIXSYNTH Christmas tree. You should be able to spot a few synths. :)

I hope everyone is having a great holiday season. I want to thank all of you for making the site what it is, and I want to give huge shout out to supporters of the site. You make the site possible. We live in a great time for synths. I like to think this site helps spread the word on our amazing world. Merry Synthmas!

---

As far as what's on the tree: you should spot a Minimoog complete with manual, a vintage Moog Model 1P 5U modular system, and a new 5U Synthesizers.com system. The Minimoog and Model 1P were from microscopics as part of a promo for their gas0095 and High Skies releases years ago. The image used for the Model 1P actually comes from Tone Tweakers. It is quite possible it is actually this one for sale. Update: I heard back from Tone Tweakers. It looks like the one currently for sale is a different one.

3 Merry Modules #38: Tides, Clouds, Ears

Published on Dec 24, 2017 Comparative Irrelevance

"Happy droning holidays to all! I hope you're enjoying the day with your loved ones. And even if you don't celebrate Foodmas, there's hopefully nothing stopping you from enjoying some modular synthesis this winter morning! :)

Patch notes:
I'm playing a sample from a completely randomly chosen song through Ears and into Clouds, while using the envelope follower and threshold gate signal generated from the sample to control the patch. I'm using Tides as a typical LFO to scrub back and forth through Clouds' buffer by way of the Position parameter, shuffling the input around somewhat.

The gate signal from Ears enables Clouds' winter themed freeze. As the sample reaches its crescendo, the buffer is frozen and held until the levels recede. However, the Position modulation keeps the frozen buffer from sounding static. Ears' envelope follower is patched to Tides' level, so the louder parts (i.e. when freeze is engaged) have the greatest modulation range – the most movement of buffer playback position, in other words.

You may notice that I have Clouds' Pitch turned up fairly high. This is because the sample itself is played back at a much slower than natural rate and is consequently pitched down, so I'm compensating for some of that pitch drop in the granular playback.

"This unit has been meticulously cleaned inside and out and electronically refurbished in an attempt to future-proof it, a process requiring approximately 40 hours of skilled labor, and is in full working order and looking and sounding quite lovely. It is justifiably more expensive than the way lesser examples that appear on the market from time to time."
