Tape looping with a Yamaha YC-25D

Creating a 4-track cassette tape loop and playing along on the Yamaha YC-25D organ.

Four separate parts are recorded to the tape loop:

Track 1: Fmaj7 chord

Track 2: Cmaj7 chord

Track 3: High E drone

Track 4: Bright melodic accents

As the loop plays continuously, the four tracks are mixed in real time using the mixer section on the Fostex X-28H tape recorder while additional organ parts are performed live.

Both the organ signal and the tape loop output are routed into a 1010music Nanobox Lemondrop, where they are used as a live input granular oscillator source. The resulting signal is then sent through an Electro-Harmonix Deluxe Memory Man analog delay and a Chase Bliss Audio & Meris CXM 1978 reverb.

Ok, so I got an ELKA X30 from one of the trash piles outside in my neighborhood, don't mind the partially disassembled wall, the organ only has a small few things wrong with it that need fixing, for one the swell pedal doesn't work except for the buttons, the lowe split & left octave up button kills the keys to the right of the split, some buttons are unresponsive, it smells like a Solaris-damned ashtray and the insides need a gentle cleaning, old membrane computer keyboards can be used to fashion new membranes for old instruments, i honestly find the harmonica preset sound funny because it sounds nothing like a harmonica, but i haven't tried all possible ways to make it sound better. I am probably gonna play Piano Man on it using the lower manual as a piano and the upper manual as a harmonica that'll also play the vocals and use the pedal board for the bass clef meant for piano, if I'm being honest I don't really know how to play and just am able to figure it out by trial and error.
