Yamaha CS 3 Project Note Sequence Smash 1

Still not very “Musical”

The looper on the Yamaha Reface CS is a strange beast. I found myself amused by just cramming as many notes in it as I can, and just leaving the REC turned on so its recording anything I do with the keyboard while it’s looping. Although while it is looping, I’m doodling more with the sound itself and the effects.

This sounded better in my headphones than I thought. I just love sustain, delay, reverb,… anything with a tail. This is so fun!

NOTE:

Around just before 1 minute mark it gets crazy. It’s amazing how something cute and pretty can just fall apart on this thing. I think the ability to get full rich sound quickly on it, is the charm. Then, with one jiggle of a knob it screams like a demon and just crumbles. Go ahead, call it a toy. I don’t care. The track has a Fripp & Eno-Swastika Girls kind of vibe to it.

The “Yamaha CS 2 project Project” has interesting bits in it too, but I need to chop it down a bit. But this above? Only 5 minutes? Good enough!

How To NOT Be Musical

Yamaha Reface CS

So I purchased a Yamaha Reface CS because:

  1. It was cheap on craigslist
  2. I always loved the Yamaha CS80
  3. There is no menu just sliders so its easy to torture sound

I brought it home and immediately plugged it in and hit record and just started blowing my mind.

AND NOW because you are lucky enough to BE THERE WITH ME (thank you Internet), you can hear 38 minutes of me messing with it.

Nothing sane, professional, or musical at all. Just making funny noises and pushing it around.

I am a sucker for Reverb, Delay, Sustain, and Pad sounds. This punches all those tickets… BIG TIME! I am quite happy.

OK I CONFESS! I like spending money just to press buttons that make funny noises. I ask so little from life.
