Synthbits: The EPIC 1995 History of Yamaha Synthesizers Video

We uncovered this video from 1995 featuring interviews and product demonstrations from the Yamaha synthesizer development team. Ok – it’s in Japanese with no subtitles – but as we all share the common language of creativity in sound, you can still enjoy this opportunity to hear a variety of vintage Yamaha synths being played.  The video is a little over an hour and a half of cool demonstrations of classic Yamaha synthesizers. Catch the following amazing sounds from these classic synths at these time points in the video:

* YC-45D (4:00)
GX-1 (13:12)
CS-80 (24:35)
CS-15D (35:52)
* CS-01 (36:29)
* GS-1 (39:57 )
DX-1 (107:00) 

Enjoy this tasty buffet of vintage Synths! And stay tuned for more Synthbits.

Synthbits: Pas de Deux with MONTAGE

With only the Yamaha MONTAGE, some Valhalla Ubermod Tape Delay, and Shimmer reverb, our friend earmonkey music recently composed and played the accompaniment to this dance video. And he played live in one take!

The film is of dancers Margaret Mercier and Vincent Warren, circa 1969.

Enjoy!
