Heaven | Yamaha QY 70 synthwave

It’s really irresistible making 80s jams on the QY. It just pours out of it with sequencing and XG sounds. I really want to make other types of music on it as well, but this is what comes out.
Going for ‘the drive before the best night of your life, 1987.’

Perfect for driving down a road at sunset

Thanks! Exact vibe I was going for

What an amazing song and what an amazing little machine.

[@brilliantgrass878]

Thanks so much! I’ve bought and sold so much (mostly budget) gear over the years, but this is the most fun.

Like it. A touch of Human League about it.

[@brilliantgrass878]

What a compliment, thanks! Human League and Phil Oakley have some of the best new wave synth tunes.

@@brilliantgrass878 You've made me look at getting my QY100 set up again too 🙂

[@brilliantgrass878]

@@AndoverIT do it, they’re so fun! Wish I had the input like the QY100 sometimes.

[@AndoverIT]

@@brilliantgrass878 Having seen this and your Goldeneye one am definitely going to set it back up. I remember trying to learn to use it on the train to London one week many years ago. Everyone else with newspapers, phones and laptops and me with this mini-synth 🤣

Sounds like something Dais records would give physical release to. Very nice!

@@brilliantgrass878 Have you heard the new Drew McDowall - A Thread, Silvered and Trembling album on Dais? It's worth checking out.

[@tonystevenson26]

Could be a Cindi Lauper ballad....i could see it

[@brilliantgrass878]

Yes I love it. I like to imagine who I’d want in my band when I’m going for a sound (this track needs Steve Lukather on guitar…Phil, give us that drum fill!).

[@personreanimation]

Very Deus Ex feeling. I love it.

[@brilliantgrass878]

Ooo thanks!

[@Sfx654]

thats soooo coool

[@brilliantgrass878]

Thanks for checking it out!

[@grunntalll]

pretty cool! do you do any post processing?

[@brilliantgrass878]

Thanks! Some internal effects, no post, just straight to a stereo field recorder. I don’t even know how to use daws really. I love hardware, building whole songs in them and hitting record!

[@grunntalll]

@@brilliantgrass878 im not good enough at programming it to make the stuff id like to, if it had a piano roll i'd be so happy

[@brilliantgrass878]

@@grunntalll I’m the opposite I can’t play piano for anything so depend on a sequencer!
