Yamaha SK15 Movement

via Adrien
"hi, as i told on a recent post about yamaha sk series it's possible to add some movement to sounds, and to make it remind vector synths (i mentionned prophet VS, but it's really exagerated, there are no magical trick to turn a poor organ into a great sounding synth) but i thought it was interesting to use that feature to make unusual sounds with that cheap organ i did it by adding similar sounds on strings part and synth part, using the filter enveloppe (i did not touch levers while playing) (since sounds are similar, some frequencies cancel, producing that kind of sound ...)
1. only the string sound
2. synth sound then, both"


"another example
maybe it's more interesting, i can't say ... (i added at the end the out of order SK ensemble, well, it barely works but should not be that noisy ....)

as information, the CS70M ensemble seemed identical to me (i used to have in my home long ago, among many other things, CS60/70/80 and SK 15/30)"
