isnt that always a problem....and one I see time and time again..people play the arranger sounds like a piano instead of the way the instrument should be played & sound.
As a kid in music class I would go to see the NY Philharmonic Orchestra and sit there with my eyes closed to pick out each instrument being played in songs and try to guess what they were.....even difficult ones like bassoon, Piccolo, Oboe, marimba, Glockenspiel, etc,......it's real good practice to do this even if you listen to recordings with closed eyes.....it will let you develop a sense of how the instrument should be played on the arranger KB so you can recreate it while playing a song.
Donny, do have any recordings of yourself emulating any of the above instruments?
I find Sax about the hardest, and I'm still working on it, and much better than I used to be. I think the SA2 voices really helped as well.
When I did
Somewhere Over The Rainbow, back on one of the other threads, I found the T4's SA2 Jazz Sax a real treat to play.
The SA Saxophone in the S950 is really good as well...any tunes you have done that can showcase it?
