Yamaha PSS Space Ritual | Moot Booxle

[@frazerx01]

Wow. May i say that i adore how you give these instruments the place they deserve? Because that's what they are. All of them make make unique sounds and that's how they should be treated. As the wonderful sound making things that they are, not measured by how well they are made or if they are worth their weight in gold.

[@mootbooxle]

@@frazerx01 thank you!! There are plenty of good musical uses for these machines that have been long regarded as “toys”!

[@moliver_xxii]

mootbooxle - toy keyboards on steroids. first spits on minikeys naysayers. then proceeds to show you can technically make inspiring music with keyboards that are the kind you would find in toy retailers. can't wait for the full album !

[@mootbooxle]

hahaha!! Excellent comment, thank you very much! I guess there kinda is an album happening :) All Yamaha!

Getting down like always

[@Mchannemann]

Amazing relaxed jam Matt, love how you these old synths sing with the effects

[@mootbooxle]

thanks my friend! The FX definitely help...the Flamma reverb is the best value in any reverb I know of...50 bucks on Amazon!

[@nobel11]

I feel your love of classic Yamahas and share it. My PSS-480 and VSS-30 are always going to be part of my set-up. Last Christmas I got a friend the B200, and it took all my willpower to not keep it for myself.

[@mootbooxle]

Ohhh man the EOS keys are interesting! It’d be hard to let that one go out the door, haha! I do love the 480 as well. Got a VSS-200 recently...that was a bucket list item!

[@PedalScience]

This was so nice

[@mallery7]

Cool Jam!

[@ReneeNme]

Great to have you back, Matt 😎👍

[@mootbooxle]

thank you my friend...maybe I can stick around more this time!

[@ReneeNme]

@@mootbooxle Cool cool 😎👍

[@SynthManiaDotCom]

Fantastic jam, Matt!!! I loved all the melodies, harmonies and licks you played, very, very cool. [And I have to say on the technical side... that 2019 model has some killer sounds!]

[@mootbooxle]

Thank you so much Paolo! My friend Matt got one of these A50 models and I was completely blown away by it. It’s quite limited but still a really fun addition to the arsenal. I think I will use it on some hotel gigs when I just need a keyboard for bass as I play piano. Oddly outputs sound in mono! Nothing a little (more) reverb can’t fix. lol.

[@chiefbucknell]

This is awesome! You’re a connoisseur of (among other things) both vintage analog AND vintage and contemporary consumer digital, and you’re a hell of a musician, of course. Love the video description, too.

[@mootbooxle]

Thank you so much Keith!

When I get old and my hands shrink, I will get one of those!

Some lovely sound you're getting out of that old gear!

[@mootbooxle]

Thanks Bill!

[@cheesewave]

Yes!

[@carlose.johansson739]

Incredible ...fantastic!

[@Psychlist1972]

Nice to see you back. Hope you are doing well. My first keyboard was a Yamaha PSS-470 from just a year before yours.

[@mootbooxle]

That’s awesome! The 470 has been a lifelong companion! that was my second keyboard!

[@mootbooxle]

Thanks btw Pete! Nice to see you as well. I’ve been doing well! How about you?

[@myoptik3x103]

Sounds great!

[@cocorinow]

very cool!

[@georgegeez8708]

What a musical genius as always. You killed it with these keyboards. My first keyboard was a Yamaha PSS-270 in which I bought again last year. Can't wait to move and build my studio to invite you to jam. Glad to see you back as always.

[@mootbooxle]

Thank you so much! Same with this 140, mine got lost over the years when I was a kid, so recently bought a new one. Nothing like that nostalgic feeling!

[@georgegeez8708]

@@mootbooxle Yes for sure. I have a Casio SK-5 sampling keyboard coming in the mail which was my first sampler. All I'm missing is a Korg DDM-110 drum machine and a Tascam 4 track cassette tape machine to complete my teenage years studio.

[@KiR_3d]

Nice jam! Reminds me that Autumn did stepped into our site :) We have pretty cool weather in night hours now. The river is near my summer house. It's very cold even in hottest summer days. So now it gives extra cold and wetness to air. Still love to sleep here rather than in the warm apartments in nearby town because of the air freshness and nature smells, bird sounds and etc.

[@Digiphex]

Love the PSS-140. Can you edit the sounds?

[@mootbooxle]

Me too! It shares the same sound chip with the SHS-10 keytar (and maybe some others)...has a very weird digital volume control which actually reduces the resolution of the sound as you turn it down softer. This yields a ton of variations...otherwise it’s just a preset machine! All three of these are! Next time I’ll bring out the programmable ones ;)

[@maraboshi]

Super!!

[@brujua7]

Great Jam, lovely sounds, I really liked the atmosphere. Thanks!

[@mootbooxle]

Thank you!

[@MarcWeertsMusic]

Cool track!

[@ozarksdownchannel9107]

Kinda sounds like Lyle Mayes ( -keyboardist for Pat Metheny Group -may he RIP ). Admire that you can take these low cost Yamaha keyboards and make them sing like you do. Good job!

[@zephal]

Awesome! Sounds almost like a water level to me, perhaps water adjacent with travel involved? Sunset? Space is kinda like a vast ocean to...

[@mootbooxle]

Thank you! I find it hard to decide sometimes whether it’s a space thing or a water thing...Similar vibe!

[@BrianKupferschmid]

Beautiful stuff!

[@mootbooxle]

thanks my friend!

[@Tapemaster21]

Woo fantastic video :D Glad to see ya!

[@mootbooxle]

Thank you my friend!

[@mikem1959]

Very cool! Have you resumed playing live at that bar estaurant yet? When you do i want to come see play live.

[@michaelp0819]

Where? Would love to see you perform live.

[@mootbooxle]

Thank you! This is gonna sound weird given the current...state of things...but I’ve actually played more gigs this year so far than any other year out of the 20 years I’ve been playing! I’m playing at the Bay House in Naples on Fridays and Saturdays, Snook Inn on Marco Island Sundays, the London Club in Naples on Thursdays, and more scattered throughout the other days, and then I’m in the studio recording and mixing people’s albums the rest of the time!

[@mikem1959]

@@mootbooxle Glad to hear. IS there a schedule when you play on line? I live by Chicago and would really like to come down to Florida in the Winter time and see you play.

[@diegoc4520]

does your pss140 have a very high noise floor? i would like to bring mine for some small shows but this is the onlything thats causing doubt in my mind.

[@mootbooxle]

All of the PSS and old PSR keys have some noise (just crappy 8- or 12-bit DACs) but definitely some more than others. I find that using batteries helps a lot because it seems like they pick up a lot of AC line noise. My 140 is totally usable! My PSS-480 is very noisy, almost to the point that it’s not useful. Other people seem to not have this problem with the 480, so I’m wondering if it’s just different between individual units. Regardless, I use noise gates whenever possible!

[@RoomAtTheTopStudio]

Hey Mootbooxle you checked out the forthcoming RC505 mk II yet?

[@mootbooxle]

I want one!!
