Synthwave Performance (Yamaha QY70) 

I’ll take that as a compliment😁

Yamaha, hear it!😁

Thanks for coming to the channel🙂👍

Thank you! I have not seen these devices with famous musicians, except for Björk, she had a Yamaha QY20.🙂✌️

​@igorecord you need a nice limiter to mix into. Try an 1176 or an La2a. It would really make your performances shine...

Thanks for the advice, I’ll try to work with these limiters in software. Although I'm not very good at post-production.

@igorecord a software version of the API 2500 set to "old mode" with the lo thrust circuit engaged works well with the lovely 80's synthwave sound you got here. Btw It's sooooo nice to hear a full Yamaha sound set being used - especially that Guru Josh saxophone patch - you hardly ever hear those used these days, apart from standard DX7 presets.

Thanks! I feel freer with one device in my hands, than with a bunch of devices on my desk 🙂👍

Thanks! ☺️

Ooh! Thanks!❤️

Thanks!Maybe preparing a set for the performance. 😉

Thanks! ✌️😀

It's time to dust off!😃

Also, it's 'just' midi - so you can do all this, then use the midi parts to trigger other external synths or software in the computer. Super handy.

@@darwiniandude Yes, it’s just like that! I bought it as a MIDI controller for external devices. But then I removed all the synthesizers from the table and left only yamaha 🤭

I sort-of bought it for the same reason.. but I find programming it a bit too involved, compared to other sequencers. Most of the time I just resort to Ableton or the Octatrack.

@@igorecord there are a few extra XG parameters I think, accessible on the QY-700 but not the 70 or 100 (years ago I had the 70, regret selling it, have a 100 now) anyway I think parameters for portamento / mono mode etc. might be able to manually put the messages in the event list, not sure. Anyway I enjoyed the video, thanks. :)

Thanks! 🙂🙌

He remains a beast! What modern devices can you use to compose on the go? OP1 or something else?

@@igorecord iPads w/ Beatmaker3 or the like blow it all away. But QY’s are cooler & like using a Playstation Portal or Atari Lynx.

Thank you, I will share more.😉🥳

Thank you! Lucky ;-)

Thanks 😃

Thanks for the kind words!🥳👊

Спасибо за доверие 😉🙂

I limited myself to one device in order to squeeze all the juices out of it 🙂

Thanks!!!🙂🥳

😁😉

Thank you! Glad you liked it! 🙂

Thanks!🙂😉

Thanks, bro! 👊

​@igorecord ur skilled with the box 📦 u had it for long? Love seeing old gear like this in action 💣💥💯

@@tohellandbacknoface4091 I bought this about 10 years ago.😉

That's good to hear, and encouraging.

Thanks!

Thanks!🙂

Thanks, man! 🙂

Thanks!😎😉

Restart QY production!🙃

Obrigado! Eu mesmo programei essa música, neste teclado.

I did this the previous three days in the evenings (about 6 hours total). With daily practice and reading the instructions, you can master the device quite quickly. I'm still discovering new things about it even though I've owned it for over 10 years.

@@igorecord I wish I had even only half your talent.

Моя любимая сказка 😁

In this track I use the DarkRKit.

Thanks!😊

DarkRKit

Thanks. I bought one of these because of you, time to start learning!

Thanks! I’m comfortable working on it🙂😎

The little rubber buttons are really nasty and hard to trigger accurately. This is an amazing machine that def needs a remake with better hardware.

@@kevinsturges6957 I like these buttons, but I would add backlighting for the screen and buttons, a more modern screen, and an FM synth. I think the form factor and navigation button placement are very good for a device of this size. Although I have not used any other modern portable device and I have nothing to compare it with.

Да, эта хрень выдает такой жирный звук, плюс подогреваю компрессором от босс. . Пишу сам, если это можно так назвать. Спасибо, заходите ещё😉👊

@@igorecord я так, очень сбоку от этого всего. Лампа небось? Что ж, обязательно зайду ещё!

@@user-vl6sp7bx4m Не лампа и не аналог, попроще.

Thanks! This thing can do more😉🙌
