Video duration: 235 seconds "Calypso part 1" by J.M.Jarre played on ELKA X-1000 organ. Everything except rhytm is played real-time. This version is somewhat simplyfied compared to the original. But the good part is that I can play it on any organ available (I concidered playing it on the small ELKA EP-8 but the sound of the X-1000 was better suited for this melody).

"Julebal i Nisseland" - on two CASIO toy keyboards Posted by: organfairy
Video duration: 150 seconds In my student days I couldn't afford a real organ or synth. So I bought some cheap toy keyboards - some of them even second hand - and connected them to an old mixer. One of the keyboards I had fitted with a plug so I could connect it to an old pedal box from a scrapped organ via a thick cable. The song I'm playing is from a Danish christmas movie and is written by Sven Gyldmark. Related: bontempi, casio, circuit-bend, keyboard, ks3400, pt80, sa1, sa3, toy |
