Live performance of Bach’s two-part Invention #4
It’s a rare thing indeed these days to see someone actually play a piece live on a synthesizer (other than in rock and electronica). Here is a live performance of a Bach Invention showing off some of the presets of the Roland SH-1000 synthesizer. The playing is a tad awkward (and its a little weird hearing the left hand come from the right speaker, and vice-versa), but it’s energetic and fun!
From BTPRO’s YouTube page:
The Joy of the Preset-Synthesizer. First battle is Roland SH-1000 vs SH-2000!I like Preset-Synthesizer. An engineer made sound with analog technology at the time without the sampling technology. It was often that I heard a sound different from the displayed name in them. I often thought “Is this the sound of the piano?”. But I can imagine a desperate face of the engineers who are going to make a genuine sound with an analog circuit. It is very exciting/humorous for me. Roland SH-1000 is Japanese first synthesizer and SH-2000 is Preset-synthesizer for organist.
