Hi Dom,
I definately enjoy experimenting, I have lots of spare time, and luv learning .
For 5 years I spent most of my spare time with my head buried in a manual, Roland, Korg, Technics, Yamaha, Ensoniq, Kurzweil.
Spent a week studying the Roland W30 manual just so I could give a 1 hr demo at a school , because the young keyboard salesman at the music store wasn't game to front a class of 40, 17 year olds girls.
Not profitable,but at least I didn't have to buy a W30 to quench my curiosity about it. Same can't be said for the other 30 to 40 synths, workstations, samplers , soundmodules, arrangers I've owned..
The only thing I'm not quite sure of , is if I'd have the technical skills to actually edit ?? the giga samples.
Knowing how to do something, doesn't neccesarily mean you end up with a perfect result.
I've known the technical side of creating styles for all the brands of keyboards I've owned, but knowing how to is not the same as being able to compose& get the balance right etc, all the stuff Diki mentioned.
I put styles together, I give them away, if they can use them great, if not , I'm non the wiser. A lot of the stuff I write about & do is in the hope of getting others involved in trying to create styles for their keyboards.
I may be in the same situation with trying to put the Giga Soundbank together.
Editing the soundfonts was one thing, I just chose individual fonts that were the closest I thought to the psr sounds & organized them into banks. Rearranged some drum sounds to suit the psr's drum mapping etc. I've no experience as far as megavoices go either.
I kept my PSR1500 & SD1, even though my latest toy is the Korg PA800.
Another problem could be, I'm in Australia.
Not sure whether you even distribute here??
I wouldn't want to take something on under false pretenses.
