Melody is a nice blue plastic melodica that I just love to play.

This was done on a mega setup that I used to use with Gigasampler and a couple of Yamaha DSP Factories. The Yamaha DSP factory was an actual hardware mixer complete with effects (the equivalent of an O2R) on a board that you could stick in your computer. Computers weren't fast enough to do it all on the CPU in those days. The sequencing software I used was an early version of Cakewalk Sonar.
Piano is the original Gigasampler one gigabyte piano.
Orchestral instruments are from the original Miroslav Gigasampler library. The version I use now for Reason cost about $180 today. Back then it was $3,500, and hard disc were so small that the library seemed absolutely huge!
It is so much easier now. I have Propellerheads Reason and Record software on my laptop and a pretty big library of instruments in that format. I plug in a USB midi keyboard and some headphones and I'm good to go.
Toronto rivals San Francisco as the North American capital of jangle pop as evidenced by this new record of sunny jams from the Motorists. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 16, 2024
