Kitaro - 'As the Wind Blows' Example Volume Pedal Camera

A second demonstration on the expression volume pedal on 'As the Wind Blows' cover. This song is quite expressive on the Original, hence it was a good example of volume pedal control.

Wow! Nice!

Heck yeah this is something I always wanted to see.

Thank you! I was thinking that many would be curious to know how Kitaro might have sounded so expressive.

@@ltpstanEspecially in his (what I like to call) his golden era of the beginning of his solo career till about 87-90. Imo that was his best period, when it was mostly analog equipment as far as synthesizers. The music from the early 80s had a lot of volume control with the 700s and 800DV parts.

@@zechariahfrink3707Yes, I think Kitaro started using the volume pedals way back then in the 80s and 90s period. Though from 2000s onwards, I feel that the 700s has been more expressive too, especially in live concerts.

@@ltpstanI agree! I forgot to ask, what brand of volume pedal are you using? Looking to get one for my synthesizers for recording.

@@zechariahfrink3707 Hi Zach, I am using the Korg XVP10 expression/volume pedal. It is the same pedal to what Kitaro uses in the recent years.
