The only two that come to mind is Monster Mash and Spooky. Anything else?

Also, will need sheet music, hopefully lead sheets for them.

Thanks

I hope you are going to sing these songs ?
Don't know how instrumentals would go over they are made for vocals..

Ware wolves of London

Here are a few charts - two that I made, and one I found somewhere ... hope they are helpful - they are "minimal" but the chords to Werewolves and Monster Mash are pretty simple ...

Outstanding use of the technology!

I enjoyed that one...

That was part of a collection Yamaha put out some years ago, I think the collection was called 'Krazy Karaoke" or something like that - had lots of fun songs to sing along to ... I think the friend that bought it got it for his CVP piano and it worked on my (Then) Tyros3 ...

Nice karaoke cover version as it should be for this type of classic Halloween song good vocals also..
well produced. Works great for a costume parade contest also at a gig.
But this has always been my favorite song perfect orchestration to play with an arranger KB on All Hallows Eve!...

Thanks, maybe I'll work these two up. BTW I sent you a PM.

Hey Scott, There's a real nice Yamaha style style I could send you if you need it. Here's me playing it:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3acMzg-3QI

Do you use two mics for convenience of standing vs sitting, or for different e.q. for backup vs lead vocals?

I used two mics so I could you the VH on each keyboard. I tried using a stand alone VH with a unit called the Midi Merger but discovered that it doesn’t work the the Yamaha PSR 950.
Eventually I’d like to just use one KB, but I haven’t found a good solution. Most gigs I just use one keyboard but when there’s both lots of Mexican , tropical Latin and “American” , I use both keyboards.

Can't you use just one mic, and use an on/off switch to actuate it? I can't imagine why you need a separate dry mic. Am I misunderstanding how you use it? I'd use the Ketron vocalizer over the Yamaha any day.

Yes, the Ketron VH is better but I’m not sure how to trigger it while I’m playing on my Yamaha. I’m not sure what you mean by using an on/off switch to “actuate it”

Thanks everybody for the input.

montunoman, yes I'd love to try that style.


Scott

Sure Scott. PM your email and I’ll send it to you.

Here are some great free Halloween Sounds and effects for Yamaha keyboards:

Look under CMS Halloween. Scroll down to listen to the demos.

Pretty cool, thanks Eric.

I thought, maybe you used the Yamaha as a solo sound, and the harmonies weren't needed during those sections. The Ketron (and probably all others) has an option for a foot switch on/off control to engage the harmonies. I was referring to that feature. If you use auto acc, or sequences for the Ketron, you can dedicate your mic to follow those changes, and it won't matter which keyboard you play your lead sounds on during harmony singing. Give me a call to discuss, if you'd like.215-284-1328 USA

Don't forget this one-Marie Leveaux.
Done on my Korg PA3X a few years ago.

Don I don't think Scott sings?
many Halloween songs need to be sung IMO...

Don

That's pretty cool song and you sound great on it.

I except on a very rare occasion don't sing so I pick songs that work well as an instrumental. Thankfully being an instrumentalist is no issue for me as all the places I play are on a repeat basis.

Has anyone here been playing Halloween gigs this year?

Two, mainly: Monster Mash and SPOOKY!

FUN!

Unfortunately, I no longer play outside the house. I loved doing Halloween parties and seeing all the creative costumes the seniors and the ADs came up with.

I performed Thriller using a custom style, Marie Leveaux, Witchcraft, Spooky, That Old Black Magic, and a few others along with my usual performance songs.
