Nearly a year ago, I played the Simon the Sorcerer theme on the Yamaha Tyros3 keyboard. Recently I taught myself another piece of gaming music nostalgia, this time from the classic puzzle game Lemmings. Using a bank of registration memory settings that I created, a Premium Style accompaniment, multipads, a range of voices and even a couple of Lemmings sound clips that I trigger with a foot pedal. I really hope you enjoy my latest performance.
Here are a few details for Yamaha keyboard enthusiasts…
Voices: Right3 – PWMLead (Lead voice), Right2 – ButterStrings, Right 1 – BrightPadBell, Left – BigOctavePad, Left (Last chorus) – HahPad (from the Choir and Vocals Premium Voice Expansion Pack
Multipad: TechSeq1
Tempo: 122
Left Foot Pedal: HDR playback trigger, playing a couple of *.wav sound clips from the Windows version of Lemmings (Also triggers Harmony/Echo on registration 4)
Right Foot Pedal: Style Fill Self trigger
All of this performance is live with no audio altered or added after recording.

Impressive James. When are you going to be able to play it on 2 guitars at the same time? :P
Hey it is hard enough playing the 'one' keyboard :)
