    I'm actually quite shocked at how great this sounds, I'm sure if you showed this to someone with no context they'd would never have known that toy keyboards where used to make it. Lovely stuff!

    Everything about this is an absolute delight. A perfect way to celebrate your sub milestone, and a showcase really of all of these keyboards and what they do well.
    My favorite thing that you constantly do is exploit features for results that likely weren't intended at first, like the transpose knob to do those extremely slick slides on the chords.
    Keep up the stellar work as always!

    I watch a good number of youtubers who talk about music gear, and although they all make good videos, not all of them are very creative when it comes to playing their instruments. I really love how musical this channel is and the effort and creativity you put into these songs. Thank you so much for making videos!

    I grew up with the Yamaha PS keyboard! My dad was a dealer for these instruments back in the 80’S. But I never really had the chance to learn to play keyboards. Recently I bought a Yamaha SHS 500 for the sake of retro feeling! Ha…

    With how meticulous the air-keyboarding was here, I'm starting to wonder if you live in a south-facing loft with nothing but an Ikea Linnmon/Adils Table, 12 different colors of posterboard, a single Eames chair and a spider-monkey named Dieter. Just once I want to spot a coffee-cup stain on something... Tipped-over bottle of lager... I dunno', some lint or dust on an errant black key. Sheesh...
    .
    Jealousy & friendly ribbing aside: it's been fun to watch you progress, buddy! Congrats on nailing and surpassing 10k!

    • @KeenOnKeys

    It just occurred to me that the background color for each of the keyboards is different. I presume they're actual sheets of some material, not just digital effects, right? What do you do with them after you're done? This is, by far, the most important aspect of these videos.

    • @KeenOnKeys

      These are large sheets of colored paper. I'll keep them and maybe use them again. There aren't that many colors available.

    Hello Keen on Keys. Thank you for this wonderful ensemble. With inspiration from your new intro, can I please ask if you would consider the following topic for your channel. Which of these keyboards would you recommend for producing particular sounds in multi-track synth recording, in particular which wave patterns or synth engines are best at melody, bass, percussion etc. Thanks again, and I very much look forward to seeing more.

    • @KeenOnKeys
      @KeenOnKeys  4 роки тому +1

    • @WeeInnovate-uk
      @WeeInnovate-uk 4 роки тому

      @@KeenOnKeys Thanks. Perhaps your own personal taste is the way to answer. I imagine it was not easy fitting all the keyboards in. For me the four that stood out were the MT-70 stood out (bass organ sounds), the consonant synthesis melodies, the pss-a50 with its pitch bend and of course the pss-100. many would bypass this keyboard altogether, but you demonstrated its ability to add some gritty sounds. I just bought one. ha ha ;)
