Hi friends:
Last night was at the Guitar & Keyboard City (the Phoenix location), we had the first meeting of the "Amazing Arranger Adventure Club", my co-worker and friend Juan Miguel Zarate and myself conducted, we had 12 people, my friend Tapas, along with other customers that have arrangers like the Korg PA 50s, Roland VA76, PSR3000, Tyros 1 & 2 YOG 625s among other boards.
At the beginning we assumed that it would have to be the most basic kind of talk, I was very surprised when questions about how to make a midi file, alteration of styles, how to use the vocalist, registration management, etc.....it was very nice to find that the people are interested in getting to know their boards.
We started with a Musical welcome showcasing the Arrangers with a medley of 8 different songs (very short ones), all play in REAL TIME and changing brands and models, we had the Korg PA1X and the PA50, the Yamaha Tyros2 and the PSR3000 and the Roland GW7, most connected to a small PA with a small sub-woofer just to give a nice sound without blasting, no gaps between the songs, so I think it came out nice.
The topics are going to be interesting, people want to know what web sites are available for styles, midi files, etc....I will be looking forward to see how this develops, next time I will take pictures and will keep you post it.
