When I listen to a god live band the volumes and instrumentation changes. The trumpets, saxes, and trombones do not continue to blast – they back off, they stop playing or lower their volume. Back to Mack the knife example. If enough changes are not made for the repetitive five choruses the song goes nowhere; the same for a song called Love. If I am going to press a registration to change the volumes and the instrumentation, why not include transposing or anything I might want???

I also include a tempo change – yes a tempo change, 145 at the beginning – to 148 towards the end – it adds more excitement. I would never do that to Latin music or a waltz or a disco.

I do not want to lose dancers or listeners – nor do I want anything to take away from my concentration on my singing.

I use only one registration for Five Foot Two. (smile)
Just saying, John C.


I can see how this works pretty nice om stage... actually with an instrument like the Genos its almost a must to work this way...

But as a home player, i do prefer to change things on the fly, quickly as i play a new song, just choosing a new keyboardset on the fly.. its funny that i think the Korg is more suited for on. The fly changes then The Genos. Even tough many people deem the Korg more oriented at pro players where the yamaha is more oriented at home players...

I also love how the Ketron touchscreen interface handles this, its easy to choose new 3/4 layer sounds......

Seems to me that Yamaha is mostly relying on the performance memmories, altough i must admit, their implementation is pretty much brilliant... when playing a T5, it felt natural to make performance memmories for everything...

On the Pa4x, i make a single songbook entry for my edited style, and work from there using direct acces to the keyboardsets... the direct access is golden... altough on the T5 i had a huge amount of performances saving just the righthand sounds i loved...

Mybe on the Genos things got better, don’t know if you can make a direct access button that takes you directly to your map where you saved all your just sound performances...
