The guy is great.
As for the video. There’s one peculiarity. The music is rather dynamic, and there’s a lot of cymbal used. It works as a distraction from the voices themselves. Listening in earphones, you may feel that strings hurt a little bit. Well, I’m not a fan of VST’s either, because they don’t let you to play “the whole” picture, and I believe that if you don’t play the “whole picture”, then you will never see it as it is. Of course, there’re ways to work step-by-step, but I tend to lose the picture completely when I’m doing that. In general, this sort of music is for an actual orchestra...
What I want to stress, that Tyros and other keyboards help you to “draw a picture” very well, but it’s still rather a picture than a product. We like to say things such as “it’s all about the skills”, however, you may just completely go nuts trying to produce the same level as the one which was produced using different kind of recourses and you still won’t succeed.
This “Tyros 5 - Pirates Of The Caribbean - John Beesley” video is great, and I appreciate the chance to watch it. Nevertheless, it’s not quite what you put on CD’s (let’s pretend they exist), it’s not what you play on stage; and it’s not how you “enjoy your Tyros” (well, there’s no standard for that either). Perhaps, it’s something different.
Agree.
