Yamaha Already Bent Michael Jackson | Yamaha TYU-40

So this quirky little keyboard by yamaha is pretty much just circuit bent straight out of the box. Which is a really cool thing to see! Wish they had done pitch bends like this on all their big keyboards as well. Super smart! And also ... wtf is up with one michael jackson song being in it?

loved the life-affirming jam at the end. I’m going to add to the wrong answers noise: the MJ song was obviously “the girl is mine” (i could recognize paul mccartney’s vocal line clearly.)

[@snoballuk]

I had one of these as a kid. As well as the pitch bend being a speed control, there's another way that it comes (almost) circuit bent out of the box - it has a mic input.

[@ProtekNickz]

I've watched so many musicians on youtube and in real life, and you are just full of creativity, KUDOS!!! man!

[@therealquade]

Smooth Criminal, I recognized the annie are you okay part, and also the bassline.

[@GeorgeL909]

I very clearly heard raining blood. The solo section specifically.
Now I shall reign in blooood! *Yamaha TYU performance begins*

[@MichaelBLevi]

I owned this keyboard in the 80's.
We lost all the little cards that went with it, so we used a pen to trigger the tiny switches that changed the song.

[@XxTheProElitexX]

i cant stop looking at the paper man

[@RegebroRepairs]

That's Beat It. Which we all know is actually written by Weird Al.

[@U014B]

The Michael Jackson song was "I Row the Boat Ashore".

[@adamgh0]

Haha! That was “Beat It.” There was one spot where I heard the rhythm of the vocals around 6:10 “You wanna be tough, better do what you can…”

[@luxinveritate3365]

Damnit, ALL I can see is the paper...lol

[@tylerzerbe6861]

ah yes, the wonderful tyu-40. you just can't "beat it". surprised you didnt notice that the same cartridge has "what a feeling", the theme song from flashdance on it. that keyboard is 80s AF.

[@DonSolaris]

Always good content from this dude

[@reggiep75]

That made the copyright strike detection algorithm cry.

[@longline]

Definitely... Beat It

[@nateKitsura]

Hee-Hee

[@wasiuuu1]

man you are amazing 🙂

[@ChrisERoots]

My god. We played the ass off this when we were young. My sister still has it.

[@junoestro]

your jam at the end is such a banger oh my god it really inspires me to make music

[@nicappelhans224]

It’s great! I love it! ❤️

[@RobertWardJones]

According to my research the TYU-40 was released around 1985. So any MJ songs published after that would not be on that keyboard. So my guess is either Billie Gene or Beat It. BAD was released in 1987

Yes, and you should.

[@Briansm15]

Make lego style guitar pedal casing for guitar pedals & use lego glue for the top half & plus shape logo bars for screws

[@nateKitsura]

You've heard about the Magpie, but have you heard about the Magmuffin?

[@MesGuided]

No, but I have heard of the Magcake.

[@Barefoot_Joe]

Are you ok? ..
Annie are you ok? Are you ok Annie?

[@chickenlickin3820]

i have one of these, just one music card though. original microphone missing in action lol.

[@gyrran]

MJ song: Runka

[@HarmonicSonics.]

I think it was Beat it??
wow this synth is funny xD

[@dirtmelchizedek8311]

Gotta be Beat It right..?

[@samplesmasher]

I think it's "Beat it"...

[@stefannewels1823]

[@cassidysacre9394]

Smooth criminal obviously ...

[@FrequencyOfThought]

[@foundatlantis]

[@StereoTyp0]

Yamaha wants you to get bent

[@7789m]

[@WyldkardProductions723]

[@alexandrustefanmiron7723]

Good luck!

[@SimonTheMagpie]

Thank you!

[@fionahamilton7231]

[@doordedeur]

Are the 3D-printed things real ROM cards?

[@chloesdad2010]

It just uses 3 little switches to change the song that's playing so the 3d printed piece just press on those like the originals did.

[@mattjbatkinson1911]

Beat it?
