"Bossa On The Beach" Lo-Fi Bossa Jam

  • This song was inspired by the arrival of warmer weather and the lovely Bossa Nova beat supplied by the Casio MT-36. I decided to give it some extra tropical flare with the sound machine. Played and composed by Kyle Ussery in Colorado.
    This sound machine has been kicking around the house for years unused, so I opened it up, and wired a 1/8th inch output jack to it. It has numerous sounds that will come in handy for lo-fi soundscapes.
    Pedals Used (in order of signal flow, right to left):
    Homedics Sound Machine, run into a separate channel on the Zoom H6
    L.R. Baggs Align Series Equalizer
    Boss OC-5 Octave
    DigiTech Bass Synth Wah
    Boss DD-3T Digital Delay
    Electro-Harmonix Holy Grail
    Boss TE-2 Tera Echo
    Boss RC-1 Loop Station
    Boss FS-5U Foot Switch
    Recorded into a Zoom H6 in stereo.

      I had a toy Yamaha of similar vintage, but I don’t think I’ll ever part with it. Even though I don’t use it _that_ often (definitely a few times a year, keep the components from tiring out), and it somehow sells for as much as a microKORG second hand. The fact it’s the _exact_ one I grew up with helps too.

    You made those pedals SING! Tastefully done piece of music, and goes to show that low budget or older, fading gear is no excuse for not making music. These old bossa nova sounds and effects remind me of Nobukazu Takemura's music from the 90s - such as Child's View (1994). Easy going, smooth, jazzy electronics.

    I want to suggest you put big muff fuzz pedal from electro harmonix in there and drain its battery play it with low fuzz probably u will like the drained battery overdrive on synths. If you interested tho. Im not saying you need it. It’s just a great pedal for giving that old fuzz flame which is great with synths. Anyway dude amazing video. Really good setup. You keep in it real.

Can be more subtle though, since most synths (esp toy synths) don’t have any of the inharmonicity of strings, and the triangle wave has few harmonics (but a sawtooth and square wave have plenty!)

      You gotta keep the toy keyboard you grew up with! Even though I’ve recreated (a lot of, still ongoing) the sounds of mine I still keep it. The recreations are way more “hifi”, the originals have noise and grit. Plus of course all the temptations to tweak the sounds rather than just accepting the presets as they come. It’s just a totally different vibe.
