"In this video I get into the programming and try to come with a few decent sounds.

I also created an accompanying track, which just uses sounds from the SY35 (plus a vocal sample). The majority of effects are from the SY35 too. I have added compression and EQ, as well as doing a basic mastering job.

Let me know what you think of the synth in comments. I've been pleasantly surprised by it!"

Runningonair - QY (Music Video)

video upload by Runningonair

"QY is born out of an experiment to create a Synthwave track using only the Yamaha QY10 sound module as a sound source. The track was released earlier in 2022 on the album B.A.U., which you can find here:

https://runningonair.bandcamp.com/alb...

The QY10 was released in 1990 and I therefore wanted the video to reflect that with film from the same time. The game video is from Outrun (1986), which has been cited as a Synthwave influence but it also fits well with the driving video."
