Custom Sound Design for Yamaha Motif/S90ES/Classic/MO6/MO8 Synthesizers If you want to take your cover band, live playing, or originals to a new level, let us program custom synth voices and performances for your Yamaha synths. Send us a copy of a sound you would like to have, and we will program the sound on your Yamaha synth. It's pointless to spend hours and hours trying to match a sound on a CD. Give us the work, and we'll give you the results.

If you have ever listened to a synth sound on a CD and thought, "I absolutely need a sound like that," then our custom sound design might be for you. Sound are programmed on Yamaha Motif, Motif ES, MO, and S90ES synths ONLY. Custom sound programming for your Yamaha synth starts at $5 per sound, depending on how complicated and how much time to program.

Why purchase a $40-$80 sound library only to find that the particular synth voice or performance that you need is not included? General sound libraries out there - or even the 80s Pop Rock Soundset - may offer you great sounds for particular uses, but if you're needing a particular voice or performance, and not an entire sound bank, then please ask us about our custom sound design for your Yamaha keyboard.

You PAY NOTHING until we program the sound and send you an audio clip of it being played. You can hear it first - pay only after you approve it. If you don't like it, you don't pay. No risk!

We have programmed custom sounds for songs by Prince, Jefferson Starship, Usher, the Police, Dead or Alive, Coldplay, The Fray, U2, Cheap Trick, Jackson 5, Dave Matthews, Journey, Aerosmith, John Mayer, Gwen Stefani, J. Geils band, Michael Jackson, Black Eyed Peas, The Killers, Bon Jovi, Herbie Hancock, and dozens more!

Here is a sample of a custom sound created on the PLG-AN150 Plugin board for Yamaha keyboards:

Van Halen - Why Can't This Be Love
(programmed on Yamaha PLG150- AN plug-in board)

As you can hear, the devil's in the details. This is a 'hard sync' sound - but what makes it so close to the original is the way the sync changes over time and the way the sound's control set (mod wheel, velocity, and aftertouch), have been programmed to mimic the sound on the Van Halen CD. All sounds are downloadable or delivered via email, so you get them just as quickly as we finish the programming.

TO ORDER

Please e-mail me with the name of the song, a description of the sound, the duration into the song that the sound appears, and the type of synthesizer you have. For now, programming is done only on the Yamaha Motif Classic, Yamaha Motif ES, Yamaha S90ES, and Yamaha MO synths.
