I always like to create my own arrangements. So that's why I did MIDI files on the keyboard. I now do it as a WAV file because I have many arrangements over many different platforms, WAV files work the best! I just play them via a USB drive directly on the PSR-S970. The VS100 works as a backup via SD card. I also run it as a mixer... 2 mics for when we are in duo mode. It gives us FX on vocals. The 970 runs in stereo to the VS100... The balanced out to Yamaha DXR10 speakers.

You can make your tracks anyway you want. You just have to remember when to come in and how to stay with the track. I either sing... Sing and play... Or play while my wife sings... Play and we both sing. I pull out my pocket trumpet for a few tunes to show the crowd I do more. We also make a point to play a few songs live with just piano or a guitar sound to show we are really playing. I also make a point to tell everyone that I do these arrangements in my home studio... Just to make it clear.

Styles are for requests or building songs I don't want to arrange. I have a bunch of Tune1000 midi files ready for a Karaoke version, if I know the song enough.

It's fun
