Vintage 1988 Yamaha SHS-200 Keytar FM Digital MIDI Keyboard
Here is a vintage Yamaha SHS-200 “Keytar” Electronic FM Digital MIDI Keyboard, introduced in 1988. This is the successor to the popular SHS-10 model, with more features, keys and an extra speaker for stereo sound. This keytar is in excellent condition, with only a few minor signs of wear (some light scratches here and there.) There is absolutely no discoloration on this unit. The keys are ivory in color, and the front of the unit is as white as it was when new. It plays and sounds just like new. There is no static in any of the controls, and all buttons and keys work perfectly. It functions as a MIDI controller, and has a stereo output jack, as well as an AC input jack. The original ‘Yamaha’ strap is included, and in like new condition. The battery compartment is spotless, no signs of ever having corrosion. These are pretty hard to find, and this is a great example of this particular model. Thanks for watching!

Electronic Music Appreciation Visualisation
This video and electronic music medley is a reworking of an earlier compilation, using new video material, imagery and original music. The work is a celebration of electronic and computer-based music composition and technologies. In four main parts, the piece depicts electronic hardware interfaces, electronic synthesis theory images and relationships, keyboards and performance tools, then finally a collage of multivision features. Many analogue and digital devices are featured, mainly from the 1980s period of experimentation and research. The Fairlight CMI is featured, along with sounds from the Synclavier system from New England Digital. Quite alot of EMS equipment is featured, including the EMS VCS3 and the inspiring Synthi 100 – the largest analogue modular synthesizer produced and probably the rarest being demonstrated at the BBC Radiophonic Workshop in 1979. Other images include equipment from Arp, Alesis, Buchla, Korg and Yamaha. The Moog modular is played with other custom keyboard synthesizers, sequences and waveform analysis equipment. Many film sources are used in this compilation, including video and image to electronic sound production and effects. Other video sources depict demonstrations of audio production equipment. Film sources include the BBC documentary The New Sound of Music and from the United States, Discovering Electronic Music. I would also like to thank Marc Doty from Automatic Gainsay for allowing to use excerpts of imagery depicting analogue synthesizer hardware in the first part of this compilation. The music comprises automatically-generated music by Roxio software, electronic tone samples, some electronic keyboard samples cut and multi-layered with the last sequence composed on the Korg R3 synthesizer.

Casio PT-100 keyboard (NOT circuit-bent!)
Here I give a quick (and quite amateurish — I am not a good keyboard player by any means!) demonstration of my Casio PT-100 keyboard. It is ALL ORIGINAL and NOT modified or “circuit bent” in any way, unlike almost all the other Casio keyboards you’ll find shown on YouTube!
From the late ’80, the PT-100 was one of the last and most advanced Casio keyboards to use exclusively multi-pulse squarewave sounds… *not* FM synthesis or digital samples! It also features Casio Chord with percussion accompaniment, which also makes some very nice retro-style synthesized electronic sounds, especially the “zizz” sound of the hi-hat cymbal.
I just wish they made a bigger keyboard with the same electronics, because I really like its sounds (both keyboard voices and percussion / accomaniment), but especially with Casio Chord enabled, it doesn’t give you very many keys to play the melody on.
p.s. The snippet of melody I keep repeating is from Louise Tucker’s “Dancing By Moonlight”, which itself is based on some classical composer’s melody, the identity of which is unknown to me.
