For many years my wife and I have wanted to create something dedicated exclusively to the #Yamaha CS1x #synthesizer. Finally, after so much work, we are very happy to present you this mini #series in which the #sounds of the CS1x will be the #protagonists.
Each episode will consist of 5 #famous #music presets that I created and performed on the CS1x.
The visual style and structure of these videos is inspired by early 90s learning video tapes.
The initial logo and the music, is a #tribute to one of the most important distributors of #VHS in those years in the #UnitedStates, the "Simitar Entertainment".
To make these videos useful even for those who just want to learn how to play some pieces of this music from the past with their own #keyboard/ #synth, I filmed the synthesizer from above in order to better understand the keys I press.
In this episode there is a brief description of the CS1x and a #demonstration of 5 presets:
• Airwolf Theme - by Sylvester Levay - (Lead)
• The Terminator - Main Title - by Brad Fiedel - (Lead)
• Don't You Want Me - by The Human League - (Brass Chords)
• Knight Rider Theme - by Stu Phillips and Glen A. Larson - (Lead)
• Jump - by Van Halen - (Lead)
For the first time the videos where I play are live (improvised without a metronome). The sound you hear is pure CS1x, with no external effects.
All the #presets you heard in this episode are #available in #SysEx format on my #website: https://kosmusicovers.altervista.org/cs1x-presets/
