In fact, I was able to meet the whole band 92 or 93 when I found a backstage pass on the floor at a Pantera concert. Those guys, were extremely friendly and down to earth in person. I still have their autographs. Sorry for the loss of your cousin, his death shocked us all and no doubt we all miss him very much.

    I was working in Egypt when I heard about Dimebag Darrell's murder. The Egyptian travel agency representative, a very conservative, three-piece-suit-wearing gentleman in his mid 30s, was a big metal fan, and informed us of the murder. It just goes to show, you never know how many lives your art touches, and the effect you have on people, from whatever world they hail. May he rest in peace.

    And I have that digital guitar from the commercial - totally incapable of making that sound it did in the video, that guitar is a DG-1 Digital Guitar - and it's basically a Casio MT series synthesizer in a guitar form factor. Instead of keys it uses six spring-loaded triggers attached to the nylon strings to trigger the note, and note selection is done by a membrane keypad lined up under the frets of a rubber fingerboard. Quite an interesting experience playing one of those.

    "Yeah I got these from my late cousin. His name was Darrell and he loved to play guitar and was in one of the most successful bands of all time." You really gonna just drop that casually? Holy shit.

    Hey, great video, love the remixed intro.
    Just wanted to give you an update, I was the guy asking what keyboard you'd recommend for old video game music replication.
    After getting your advice and doing some research I went with the PSS-570 and have had a blast with it, so thank you so much for your help :)

    • @8BitKeys
      @8BitKeys  8 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Well, you aren't "the guy." Probably one of 50 such guys. Seriously, I get that question a lot.. hence why I'm going to cover it in the next episode. Anyway, glad to hear you liked the PSS-570, I'm definitely going to be mentioning and recommending that one.

    Fun fact: The drum samples on the Super Drums keyboards, and on the later ToneBank keyboards all came from a sample tape that was produced for the RZ-1 sampling drum machine. Loads of cool stuff on there, but it was evident that they recycled an awful lot. The RZ-1 is a neat piece of gear!

    I have an MT-205 (or 250, I can't remember at the moment). What I discovered is that if you plug a set of earbuds with volume controls in, you can make the instruments trigger with the volume controls on them. Pretty cool.

    I was the Music King at my private school and class! nobody could have touched my expertise in Keyboarding then at a young age.
    It died cause of battery leakage and I threw it away, I regret that to this day, I always will, there is nothing like this Keyboard in my book.

    My wife and I got a full 88 key digtal Piano (Korg) from the 80's when Her father passed away. We kept it for a while and then ended up selling it to a family who's child was taking piano lessons. so for now I'm back down to just my Yamaha PSR-E403 (which sounds better than the old Korg ever could, but lacks weigted Keys) Some day when I have money and space I will upgrade but for now it is as it is.
    I always find your channel Interesting. Keep up the good work.

    I have the MT-220, it has 4 pads (no bass drum pad, which is very weird, only snare, cymbal, hi and lo bongo). As far as the instrument sounds, they are exactly as your MT-520, so I guess it is a budget version of yours?

    • @8BitKeys

      yeah.. probably. Agreed that is a weird set of pads to use when you only have 4.

      Glockenspiel is the english word for that instrument like doppelgänger or zeitgeist are the words for those things in english. English only has so many words because most of them are borrowed from other languages.
