about

All sounds in the track were made with the Yamaha Portasound MK-100 Multi-Programmable Stereo Keyboard (1983), a unique keyboard in the Portasound range featuring envelope and waveform synthesizer functions.

The blippy drum sounds are pitched a quarter tone out compared to the voices, which made for a tuning clash with the organ bass at the start of this track,so I tuned them down to be in the key of Eflat for this release. Chorus, overdrive and octaver pedals were used in the last section of the track.

The 3 part series on such a cool keyboard is so thorough and useful for introducing anyone to FM synths - and this album is an amazing display of the sheer 80s/90s energy that FM can offer! kasha
