Moot Booxle

Thank you for the kind words, you guys. @ABECK - thank you! That instagram is probably where I post the most interesting stuff these days. @nursers - thank you for taking the time to listen! @BRW - that"s the thing that allows RAM1 carts to be used in RAM4/5 slots right? And yeah! The PSR-36 is on my radar, just to have the real-time sliders like the PSS-4xx series but with full-sized keys and MIDI!

Greetings Mike! I have no good excuses other than the fact that 2020 was a year of mourning and depression and 2021 so far has been one of rapid growth! It has also been the busiest time in my life; certainly the busiest I"ve ever been since going full-time with music 13 years ago! I"ve just become increasingly hermit-like in recent years! I do miss engaging with my high-level musical friends which is one reason I decided to post here for a change... It"s sure nice to be missed

Cheers everyone! I see that I am in good company here! My instagram @mootbooxle has quite a few pics and videos of my Yamaha stuff. I have been keeping a list, so here"s the list! YAMAHA FEVER KEYS/SYNTH: KX88 (MIDI Master Keyboard) KX76 (MIDI Master Keyboard) W5 (AWM) DX7-IID (6-OP FM) x2 DX11 (4-OP FM) FB-01 (in RFB-01 rack) (4-OP FM) x2 TX81Z (4-OP FM rack) PSS-140 (2-OP FM) PSS-470 (2-OP FM) PSS-480 (2-OP FM) PSS-680 (2-OP FM) PSR-90 (dual 2-OP FM) X4500 (AKA PSR-4500) (2-OP FM + 12-bit AWM) PSR-6300 (dual 2-OP FM) VSS-200 (2-OP FM and Sampling) (MIDI in mod) DRUMS: RX11 Drum Machine RX8 Drum Machine DD-14 Drums DD-11 Drums DD-5 Drums DTS70 Drum Trigger System DTXtreme Drum Rack TP65 Single-Zone Pad (x3) TP80S Dual-Zone Pad (x6) ACCESSORIES: RAM4 (x3) RAM5 DX7-II ROM FC4 (x2) FC5 (x2) FC7 (x4) BC1 MIDI TOOLS: YMM2 MIDI Merge Box (x2) YME8 MIDI Expander MFC1 MIDI Foot Controller MCS2 MIDI Control Station MJC8 MIDI Junction Controller MEP4 MIDI Event Processor MT100 4-track cassette recorder QX1 Sequencer QX21 Sequencer QY20 Sequencer REV7 Reverb DMP7 Digital Mixing Processor (x2) BB450 Bass Guitar A3R Acoustic Guitar It"s just beyond ridiculous! There is something that compels me to keep searching and building the ultimate vintage Yamaha studio. This gear is built so solidly and much of it is available for cheap in good condition. It all works so beautifully together!

Hi Everyone! My name is Matt Baxley, aka Moot Booxle, and I am obsessed with 80s Yamaha gear. Anything made between 1982-1994 or so is fair game. There is not too much beyond the 'black box' era that I find extremely exciting, but there are exceptions! It would be impossible for me to explain my rabid obsession with this particular vintage and brand of gear without telling my life story. I"ll spare you from that in this thread! I could list my collection of Yamaha gear, but that also seems superfluous in this post. I have 16 synths, 5 drum machines, a large electronic drum kit, 3 sequencers, two digital mixers, all the MIDI accessories...tons of things, all Yamaha! It is a complete obsession that I cannot explain. Since December 2020 these things have begun to show up in my life without any action on my part. I am a Yamaha magnet! Is anyone else here similarly afflicted? It all started with my friend randomly offering to sell me a pair of DX7-IIDs for cheap, me reconnecting with that machine in a huge way (I think it"s wonderful! The DX7-IIFD was my first 'pro' keyboard when I was 12 and I was completely obsessed with learning FM synthesis, despite my inability to comprehend maths) . This stuff has been in my life since 1988 when I was 5. I"ve gone through many phases of Yamaha FM fandom but I"ve never gone to such lengths as I have this year! I built an entire second studio that consists almost entirely of vintage Yamaha!

Hi everyone! I don"t know if anyone actually listens to anything in this thread or merely posts their own link (as I must confess I am doing lol) but in the off chance that someone might listen to and possibly like my stuff, I will post a link. I just released this album recently. All live direct to Yamaha 4-track. Loads of DX7. https://mootbooxle.bandcamp.com/album/king-in-exile Thank you! Cheers!
