Diki...you owe Yamaha an apology.

For what it's worth, here is that midi file played through the Edirol SD-90, didn't touch a thing, recorded with Sound Forge 7, converted to 256K mp3.

And finally, Dave, I spent over an hour last night learning and tweaking the effects section on my own keyboard to get just the right synth sound for Styx's Fooling Yourself. Plus, I practiced the beginning solo enough to where I think I can play it live.

We're okay then......

Mea culpa completely then... But I'm sure Yamaha will pay as much attention to an apology as anything anyone suggests, too

Though why we can't hear the upstrokes is beyond me. Fran's posting was an edit, so I guess they got moved around some... My guess is that some PC#'s for some of the legacy kits don't translate too well...

BTW, that Midifile Optimizer is basically the same as Roland's Makeup Tools (I see little in it that Makeup Tools can't already do, including graphic slider representations of Vol/Pan/Cho/Rvb - except of course, you have REAL sliders to work it!). Only, of course, you don't have to pay an extra $212 for the privilege, and have to run a computer on everything first (and have a PC if you don't have an Intel Mac and Windows installed)...

Here's a pretty expensive program to do what Roland include on EVERY E and G series arranger from the cheapest to the most expensive FOR FREE...

Fran sent me the file yesterday (or at least his edit of it). I'll have a quick go at it, see why no guiro... Maybe Frank could send me the original?

Sorry about 'ass'uming about the guiros. See, I'm not immune to it myself . But, in all fairness, the 'claps' problem is so well documented in Yamaha's that I extrapolated
