New Music

I am always working on new music but I’m pretty slow. I do have 2 new CDs in the works though and hopefully they will be released in the next year.

Welcome to my website!

This is a central location with blog posts about my synthesizers and guitars, as well as links to music and photos. Sorry about having to sign up to post comments but without that I get thousands of spam posts every day.

More Information Coming Soon!

And Now… Yamaha SK-20. Beauty Keyboard!

September 13, 2014 by admin

Arrived last week, a beautiful old Yamaha SK-20. Organ, Strings and one oscillator poly-synth in one neat little heavy-as-a-tank package!

Yamaha SK-20 now added to my collection!

Unfortunately this one arrived with a little problem: D4 and D5 were not working. If it was some feature (other than the strings) I might have been able to live without it but I kinda need all the notes on the keyboard!

Luckily I found someone who I thought might have a replacement circuit board so I emailed him and he replied with a lot of help and was able to figure out exactly what the problem was without even seeing it. All I had to do was solder in one wire and it was fixed!

Yamaha SK-20 Keyboard Fix

So HUGE thanks to Robert Weigel for his help! Check out his website at http://www.sounddoctorin.com/ .

I really like the sound of the strings and the ensemble in this keyboard and using the polysynth at the same time allows me to make the brighter or add some filter sweep at the same time. I never would have thought it years ago but this is a great combination for a keyboard. I think I will look for an SK-30 next year.

As usual, the old synths are the best!
