I am trying to midi my S910 to my VanBasco player in my laptops. One is Windows XP and my Netbook is a W500 Acer running Win7. The XP laptop configured my midi out to the Yamaha driver, and works perfect. The Win7 VanBasco app does not show the &qu

The point is, ENJOY WHATEVER YOU PLAY! In any one week, I play a digital Yamaha piano, one of my old MS-60's, my little NP-30, a B-3, an XB-2 and a whole lot of stringed instruments. It's challenging to remember the differences in real time. R.

I have heard those styles and thought them very good, but driving. If I was in a room with young people, smashed out of their skulls, it may be the thing. As I said, I could tame all the Audya styles to play at a tea party, but there are times I ne

Just pull up Blues Shuffle, hit the chords and sing! Play rides on the Sax, Guitar, Organ and Piano. Kick in vocal harmony when needed. Viola! You've "made it your own" as they say on American Idol! DonM

Diki........I was hoping you'd chime in on.......what's going on to get that shuffle sound. I understand there's more to it than just straight drum beats, but the purpose of the post was for me to learn basic drumming for programming a drum machine..

Isn't that why they put volume knobs and sliders on each part, drums , bass , chord , lead etc. on the Audya. I bought the UK styles upgrade. The whiter shade is OK and the 6/8 style is real nice but the driving beat is a complete joke. That is one o

For me, I guess it all boils down to how EASY any given arranger makes doing the usual tasks that you need to do to fully personalize your arranger for YOU. How simply is it to edit and create Performances. How easy is it to edit styles, and SMF's?

Mark, I believe that if you hang in there with the PA3X, in the end you will be glad. All the controls make playing live very easy, and the vocal processor/harmonizer is fantastic. As we discussed, any current, or even not so current, arranger will
