Instrumentation - Keys



Here's a little bit about the keyboards that Jimbo plays for all you instrument tech fans out there:


The Steely man rocks a Yamaha DGX505 full portable grande synth piano. It has 494 instruments including pianos, woodwinds, brass instruments, and percussion. It has 88 weighted keys, midi capability, a floppy drive for storage, and it looks a little something like this:



He also recently purchased a badass synthesizer by Korg called a microkorg synth/vocoder. This little synth features 37 keys, 128 programmed effects that are infinitely customizable, and the vocoder which is the microphone part that you can alter your voice with. You wouldn't believe the sounds that come out of this thing when you start turning all those dials. We are hoping to diversify our sound with this versatile instrument. Stay tuned to see what we can do.
