My first DIY synthesizer - keyboard upgrade

In my previous video I stated that I would make a demo of my first homemade synthesizer when I had upgraded the keyboard.

I am doing the upgrade in this video. And I do the demo at the end.
The upgrade is primarily to replace the goofy organ tabs with a joystick for bending the notes and adding vibrato.

The music in the video is something I made in 2001. I used the Yamaha HE-8 organ, Roland CR-1000 drum machine, Roland SH-2000 synthesizer, and Kawai MS-20 and Yamaha VSS-30 toy keyboards.

@tsuihark - Thanks. I have actually used it before in a couple of videos. But the sounds has improved with the upgrade and there are more features now.

The Thomas Band Master Polyphonic Synthesizer was so cool back then as I have one on my Thomas Eldorado 792. I would like to find another Thomas organ with that same synthesizer and make it into a single keyboard synthesizer. It had such great filters and fun to play with! Great video!

I admit Im not an electronic wiz so Id not know where to begin on repairing keyboards. I think your a genius to do this.

Id be afrid to touch wrong bit and cause ESD.

Sounds good though. stop by my channel if you get time and listen to few latest things.
