Noticing

/146 - Tiny Little Window

The Yamaha S80 has an incredibly deep synth engine, with 4 sliders and 5 knobs to access it through its little display. Still, once I figured out how it worked, the editing got much easier. It’s still not great. That said, it still sounds wonderful — don’t let the rompler snobs fool you!

I’ve had this thing for a long time (a wonderful gift from a friend’s family who weren’t using it and had no space) and have always enjoying it. It has sadly been living in the basement since we moved here because there’s just no room (really, it’s huge) in the office. Have really been wanting to use it with the rest of the studio so I crammed it in up here tonight. This likely means I’ll need to re-org everything AGAIN, but glad to have it back where I can use it anytime.
