I'd honestly give you a better synthesizer -- I had 30 but sold them all on eBay a few months ago. All I have left are a Roland JD-800, S-50, JV-1080 and a few large samplers.
You need a better keyboard, like a Synthesizer..... The song was originally played on an Oberheim OB-X, which are now very hard to find. Sonic Projects makes a wonderful virtual version in VST format which nails the sound you're looking for!
Dennis DeYoung played an Oberheim 4-Voice synth on this record as well as the Grand Illusion Tour. The OB-X wasn't available until about 3 years later. The synth solos in this song (which includes the intro solo that starts at 0:31 in the video) were played by Dennis on his Oberheim 4-Voice. However, the main riff in the intro (0:06 - 0:17) was written and played by James Young (at least on the Grand Illusion Tour) on an ARP Odyssey. Not sure who plays this on the record.
Dude you are really good at this! Its a shame no one has commented yet. Fooling yourself sounds exact! Great work, the audio quality is really good and makes up for the video quality, but the video doesn't matter, Come Sail Away was really good too! I am the Walrus is really fun too! I look forward to any other Styx stuff you will do! 5/5!
