@hahaableable There were two sorts of Packs for the HS-8 - RAM Packs which were for you to store your own registrations (since superceded by floppy disks and now USB sticks), and AWM Voice Packs which were in a hidden slot on the underside of the organ. Changing these packs for others gave you more sampled sounds - which was truly amazing in 1987 when these were launched!
The ' O Nara Yamaha HS-8 ' sounds so much less thin-typical-early 90's than this video and it's not just because it's recorded in HQ...it's probably the tempo and the slightly less cliche song choice too. I do sort of kick myself for not buying the one I saw for $120 in my community though, it had midi. I'll probably never be sold on digital, but one thing digital can do well is switch analog pathways. I'd like to know what the ultimate digitally controlled analog organ would sound like in 2012
@jackyvix Yes, I know exactly what you mean about, the HS6 Model. I own one that I don't play too often. ( It is FOR SALE, if you know anyone, that is interested. Do drop me a pm! ) It doesn't sound, very much like a organ at all, has you can't get the mellow tones, that most organs have!
Hi, I wanna ask if the 'pack' for this electone is needed in order for the electone to work?
