I don't understand why some are against using the facilities provided by our great keyboards. The comment about No Edited sounds, No Custom Styles, No Multi Tracking..... WHY??
What difference does it make whether you use a standard built in sound or one which has been 'Tweaked' slightly to better fit the song/tune? If a particular song/tune would sound better if one of the built in styles was slightly modified then why not modify it? If a particular recording would be improved by adding say a counter melody in Part 4 then why not add it? If someone creates a really super Jazz Style, then why should it not be used in Easy Record? The creation of new Styles is an art in itself
None of the above detracts from the player's performing skill. For instance, adding a counter melody to Track 4 is just like having two musicians playing together in real time except that the single performer is playing both parts. This shows that the performer has an extra skill - the ability to compose and play the counter melody, thus enhancing the total musical experience.
Anyone with knowledge of the KN instruments, or indeed is of a musical 'bent', will be able to easily recognise that the resultant recording has been multi tracked so no one is being duped into thinking that everything has been recorded as One Take.
Anyone remember Les Paul? - The innovative guitarist of the 50s who did many superb recordings using the available limited technology - nobody doubted his playing skills.
I find that using Easy Record, is a good way of 'Laying down' the basic format of a song/tune which I may or may not subsequently edit.
