@@AudioPilz Alot of old wave bands (no noth synth wave, I mean new wave, cold wave and goth) haven´t got extreme keyboard skills. Some had a eighties drum/bass machine or keyboard organ drum machine, a cheap synth/string machine and a vocalist as the main setup. So a string melody+drum machine and vocals was pretty much all they had and some even made a living out of that kind of music. If you can make a simple verse and a simple chorus that people remember, you can make a good song!

A friend of mine bought one too, and we used to bring them camping (they are AA battery powered, so it is a toy) and just jam with guitarists and sing silly versions of popular songs. We laughed so hard!

In these circles, these are absolute crowd-pleasers even if the player is only doing basic arpegiated chords on it, it looks badass and cheesy at the same time. I can understand why the prices are rising!

I have no memory of how this came to be... whether i had asked to do this or was contacted by someone in the electronics department, but.... I found myself working the weekends in my garage band "outfit" (think paul westerburg at church) "Demoing" this unit at the top of the escalators at Sears #1415. I had brought my trusty cz-101 and midi'd them up; and proceeded to make "music" for the the shoppers passing by trying to promote these things. I don't recall if i managed to move very many of these units, but eventually management decided paying me minimum wage to come in and do these demos wasn't worthwhile in sales, and that was it. I NEVER BOUGHT ONE THOUGH! seriously. thanks for the great vid and the memory jarring! +best (oh and since my last reply, i have sent my drumbrute in to arturia for noise circuit repair. It is back (with a lovely t-shirt, key fob, and tote.) Its' sound engine is being routed through all manner of kit and still sounds... well, kinda meh...

I have a little Portasound PSS-360 that has a similar cheesiness to it, and it is delicious! These are kids toys, but they don't even pretend to be serious about themself. And that is sometimes just what you need after a depressing day of work.

Your keyboard skills are actually pretty good. It feels very weird play a keytar, the angle is just messed up, and mini keys- aarrghh! I used to have a heavy Korg fiberglass, full sized keytar that weighed a TON. It was so heavy, it often would slip off the guitar strap and hit my feet- that was too much so I sold it to some guy in Sweden (sorry if he has sore feet!).

@@AudioPilz I make it seem like a joke but in 100% absolute seriousness, I LOVE vapourwave and spend many hours listening to the mixes on youtube - it was you who introduced me to the hardware required to make such music and now I own more than a few pieces of "bad gear" and spend many happy hours with dual octave basslines, microkorg arpeggios and SR-16 cowbells and I love every second of it - from the bottom of my heart and in total and utter sincerity, this is what got me through the 2020 covid-19 lockdown ... i guess we each have our own tastes but you helped me reach my potential in a year like no other and I will always be grateful for this.

I own this little lad's bigger brother the SHS-200. It has an expanded feature set and is quite a bit bigger. It's mainly used as a controller but it's just generally fun to get out at parties. Was really hoping you might mention it in this video since nobody seems to know about it. Great video anyway dude, I think keytars just get a bad name because they're quite easy to mock even if people have no idea how to play one.
@AudioPilz3 жыл бұрын
Yeah, totally neglected the 200. Thanks for watching!
