You can adjust the speed of the vibrato by going into Frequency Modulation mode, using the data entry +- buttons to speed it up or slow it down, then getting back out of Frequency modulation mode.

Other hidden functions: you can trim your sample by using the +- buttons in loop mode, and vary your sample quality/length ratio by holding one of the middle octave keys while you sample (low keys make a longer, lower quality sample while higher keys make a better, shorter sample.) It takes a little bit of practice with the timing to make this work.

Source: I grew up with one of these and spent way too many hours playing with it. I still have it around but it's very beaten up.

I had one of these in high school back in '92. Made alot of loops with it along with a Realistic Concertmate 500. Recorded the loops with intention of reviving them someday. Well, 2mos. ago I bought a cassette deck, started resampling some of those loops into my MPC2000xl and gave them a little oomph with layering and adding an extra sound or two. I miss the keyboard but it lives in the loops created and resampled.

Dude your voice is amazing. I don't know what's going on in 60% of your videos but it's worth it just to hear that silky smooth voice.

[pombenenge]

you're probably one of the best unknown artists

I love this type of music, reminds me of Locust Toybox. Some people may question why it doesn't have lyrics or say that it sounds unsettling but that's exactly what I love about it. It makes you feel things without any words being sung.

Just picked one of these up from local thrift store for $10 so excited to make stuff with it!!

Perhaps this is the highest quality that I have seen on YouTube in terms of the quality of filming, the preparation of the material and the overall impression. The author has a divine announcer's voice that spreads in your brain in soft, enveloping waves. Divine, simple and obvious. If it's not difficult, tell us - who are you in your professional activity?

This brings back some memories!!! I remember seeing this keyboard when visiting my grandma in the late 80ies. We always had to stop in the music instruments department when we were in the city. Nice to see it in action!! 😀

Bro your song was beautiful for real... Amazing. It's so pure and emotional

[hko]

I wondered about the weird vocal in your songs, this explains.

I freaking love this channel, please keep making videos. I love this so much

[simmisays]

I really enjoy watching your videos about LCD‘s and old technology. The music is complimenting the content nicely. Keep it up!

[PajamaCat]

it’s so cool seeing his music come to life with these videos

[kloug]

That was surprisingly funny, and melancholic.

1:53 - This sounded like something from Earthbound. It starts off so eerie, but I can't remember which track it was.
