"Sneaky snake" © Stewart J Wallace, August 2023.
This is a blues-inspired piece which I recently composed and is played using a Casiotone CT-S1000V. The tones are identical in the CT-S500 (which doesn't have vocal synthesis) and similar to the CT-X models which also use Casio's AiX Sound Source technology for sound production.
I've layered 2 organ tones together - Tremolo Organ (98) and Amp Organ 1 (89) - and reduced the volume the Amp Organ to 95 so it's less prominent than the Tremolo Organ. There's a slow moving L-R panning effect built into the Tremolo Organ tone which adds some movement to the sound but not a full-speed Leslie speaker effect.
I've not used any sustain or expression pedal in my playing, and yet there's still plenty of expression you can get from the keyboard if it's played like an organ rather than a piano - it requires a lot of finger control! Sudden movements on the expression pedal will help to further accentuate the sound, especially on held chords.
Thanks for watching and check out my other "how to" videos.

As always, raises a smile😊.

Nothing like a diminished scale to create some snakey sneakiness! Hope you liked the flamingo tango too. Thanks for the encouragements. 👍
