"Freeez was a UK dance music group from London, initially known for its emergence as one of the UK's leading jazz-funk bands of the early 1980s. Founded by John Rocca, Freeez consisted of various musicians, originally with Rocca and other members such as Andy Stennet (keyboards, Peter Maas (bass) and Paul Morgan or Everton Mcalla (drums).

Paia 9700 with Digital Delay.m4v

YouTube via shaolinskater
"Just a simple sequence again. I was playing around with a Digital Delay pedal and found some neat sounds. With this particular configuration I found that the pedal created some really thick undertones to the sequence. The SH 101 is running the Paia 9700 which is then sent through the Digital Delay. The delay is set at the 80mS range and has it's feedback and Dry/Wet set to 100%. The feedback gives a sort of swelling or floaty type of sound. Because it is set to 100% wet, turning on the pedal also changes up the sound of the beat structure giving that Philip Glass-ey sort of arpeggio change. Pretty cool stuff. Hopefully you can hear what I am talking about, though the sound quality always seems to get a little compressed after uploading. Thanks for watching!"

ROLAND SHIPS KC-110 STEREO KEYBOARD AMPLIFIER

KC-110 Battery Powered Keyboard Amplifier Overview

YouTube via RolandChannel

"World’s First AA Battery-Driven Portable Stereo Amplifier for Keyboardists

Los Angeles, CA, March 10, 2010 — The latest addition to Roland’s industry-leading KC-Series keyboard amplifier lineup, the KC-110 Stereo Keyboard Amplifier, is now shipping. It combines two industry firsts for a portable keyboard amp—AA battery-powered operation and true stereo sound—with a host of additional features that make it flexible for a variety of performance applications.

The KC-110 features 30 watts of stereo power driving two 6.5" woofers and two tweeters. Most modern keyboards feature stereo sound output, and the KC-110 enables musicians to experience the full, rich stereo sound of their instruments while using a small amp. Power can be supplied with eight AA batteries (including NiMH rechargeable types) or AC power, and there’s even a removable battery case for quick and easy battery replacement.

Featuring a multi-channel mixer with a Mic/Line input, two stereo inputs, and two AUX inputs for connecting devices such as MP3 or CD players, this versatile amplifier is suitable for compact PA applications as well as keyboards. High-quality stereo digital effects are also built in, allowing performers to sweeten their sound with reverb, chorus, or a special “wide” chorus effect.

Compact size, battery operation, and superb stereo sound make the KC-110 the perfect portable keyboard amp for nearly any playing situation, from primary amplification duty in intimate settings such as coffee houses, restaurants, or street performances to personal monitoring on large stages. The KC-110 also features an integrated tilt stand for enhanced sound projection, as well as a pole mount for use with the optional ST-A95 Speaker Stand when maximum coverage is needed.

The KC-110 is now shipping with a suggested retail price of $469.00.

"Close to you" - on Yamaha HE-8

YouTube via organfairy
"This song was a big hit for Richard and Karen Carpenter in the early 1970's. Still today this Carpenters song is often played on the sentimental radio shows.
Here I play it on the Yamaha HE-8 organ with a little help from the Korg Rhytm 55 and the Roland JX-8P."
