Have to be honest. I kept waiting for the song to be played. If there was one I missed it completely.
I have an old Yamaha PSR 5700 arranger/workstation that will lay down several tracks on top of each other. It also has sampled instruments so that different instruments can be played realistically. The tracks are entered exactly as he is doing it and they are recorded for future playback - all part of the same song. When all is said and done correctly a piece comes out of that box as if a whole band or even an orchestra is playing. There is no limit to the creativity that can be exercised on this instrument. All genres can be accessed. It even has a hand-clap track so that you can clap for yourself when you finish a song, LOL. As you watch the video bear in mind that all of the sounds come from this keyboard. However, it will also midi-control other instruments. I used to play it quite a lot, and got pretty decent at it, but I haven't touched it in probably 15+ years and I'm not sure I even know how to turn it on anymore. I've kept it because now that I'm retired it will give me something to do when I get back to it.
Meanwhile I have a new musical love interest . . .
It's a Roland Digital Accordion. No reeds. All sounds are sampled and there are
- 162 orchestral sounds, 32 organ sounds, 3 drum sounds
- 100 accordion sound sets taken from all over the world (including 67 pre-loaded sets)
- 128-note polyphony.
- USB recorder/player, on-board backing track playing ability. customizable sound sets
- Echo, reverb, key touch sensitivity
- More bells and whistles than I will learn in the rest of my life.
- All of the ports necessary to include amped speakers, a midi controller
Here are some of the sounds that can be accessed (please skip through the video for a fractional sampling of some sounds) All of the sounds you hear are coming out of this incredibile, un-amped accordion. My intrument was customized by the fellow in the following video, Richard Noel. He has rearranged the accordion/instrument sounds for easier access and according to certain genres of music. Mine is black.

He is a street musician from Sarasota Fl. Look for his utube video, "When someone as for a Journey song" Listen to the whole video! 6 million views

I did listen to the entire video (with difficulty). Can't get into this type of music - I'm from a time when singers used their voice and/or their instrument with inflection and modulation to put their stamp on a song.
The new generation of music involves a lot of screaming, shredding, heavy beats, non-rhyming lyrics, reverb and echo against a moogy backdrop. Kind of like using the loud pedal on a piano with no discretion.
But, six million people can't be wrong . . .
