This appears to be sound demo..NOT Movie

I thought so too. But I reinstalled Quicktime and got the video. Nice machine, the Tyros 2, but Peter, the player, is brilliant. Realistically I can never get the Tyros 2 to sound like he can make it, but I can dream!
Keith

Graham,

It is a movie. I also had to get the latest free quick time revision to view it. The latest release is only supported on Windows XP or win 2000. It would not play the video on my second system which has Win Millenium.

Peter is awesome on the keyboard. I got so many new ideas from the streaming movie which seems to run for an hour. These movies always stimulate my creativity. I will never play like Peter, but I sure improve after learning from these clips.

Peter makes the Tyros sound like the best keyboard ever made.

Regards,

Jerry

Yes you must have Quicktime installed.

If anyone hasn't heard this demo yet, you MUST download it NOW!!!!
Peter Baartmans has long been a hero of mine, but in this demo he excels even himself!!! Peter should be given the ultimate accolade from the Music Industry because he is the all-time greatest exponent of the keyboard without exception.
On this demo you have not only the ultimate demonstration of the Tyros 2 capabilities but an extremely accomplished hour or more of pure entertainment from a master of music. He plays absolutely all styles and all genres of music direct from his enormous repertoire. He should be awarded the Nobel Prize for Music!!!!
I suggest that you click on the link as soon as possible because I assume that the company PIENS will not allow us to hear this forever. It is protected from download so you can only click on the website link and listen to this wonderful entertainment in real time, no saving!!!!

Jerryghr. Thankyou. Yes I have just updated my Quicktime version.
I have seen Peter Baartmans many time live and apart from being a brilliant player he is also very funny.

thats gpot to be one of the all timegreat demonstrations !!! The Tyros sounds amazing. But in the hands of someone lit peter baartman it sounds out of this world.

Took me a while to get the appropriate version of Quicktime loaded (and then de-installing i-tunes) but it was worth it.

He's a bit good, isn't he.

The keyboard's not half bad either (but I knew that anyway!)

I've got to the end of the demo now.

I was wrong. He's a lot good.

Our friends in the Netherlands have a couple of REALLY good treats coming up next week.

Baartmans & Voncken, together with the Tyros2
and then
Leon Kuypers (day or 2 later) on the G70.

Their demo/performance schedules: http://www.tyros2.nl/index.asp?p=224

If anyone is planning on attending, please drop by my place on the way and pick me up

Seriously though, I hope those performances become available on video. I'd love to see that.


Impuls, can you get over there and tape that for us?

i'm updating my quicktime - i really want to see this master - you made me curious !

..I'm stunned..no comment - that was absolutely awesome + enterntaining...

Does he play better than the new look (slimmer) michael voncken? Lol

I've yet to see this movie. Everytime I try to view it I get an error from Quicktime "NO ROUTE TO HOST". Does this need Quicktime 7?

It needsd this - http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html go there and click on "FREE DOWNLOAD NOW". and go watch the movie because it's great

I downloaded quicktime- I was able to see a part of the demo, then suddenly I can't hear any sounds?

Hi KN Fan
I think that your PC setup is just unfortunately one of those which will not accept this software fully. We have to remember that Quicktime and the files .mov are designed for APPLE and there are certain aspects of Windows it does not like!
For example, it will only play on Windows XP and 2000 (and then not on all of them, depending on other setups you have on your PC).
Ihave been able to get the movie from the start but not without 'tweaking' one or two knobs here and there! Sorry, I don't know what it was I did, but it worked.
All I can suggest is that you don't give up at the first try and perhaps your PC will behave itself eventually As you may have guessed from the rave reviews, it is certainly worth spending some time trying to get the movie.
cheers

I too, did the download and still am not able to view the movie. quicktime works on my computer with other quicktime movies and downloads.

I wonder if some of you who say you cannot get the movie have given it time to download?
The movie is streamed and needs time to sort itself.#There are times when even my own setup does not get the movie sraight away and I have to wait several minutes before it 'fires up'.
I hope that you are not being impatient!

I starts then the sound stops and the video gets all scrambled. I have walked away for an hour thinking I may have to let it download. I have cable internet.
I tried the new one and it did the same thing. Thanks for trying, I have never had this problem with all the demos and movies and cartoons.

Has anyone any suggestions? I downloaded the latest version of Quicktime in order to watch and listen to Peter Baartman's T2 Movie, but when I open Quicktime and try to play any audio files, it sounds like they are playing underwater with excessive reverb!! Windows Media works perfectly with no problems. I have a fairly new system running XP with 512MB RAM, and would appreciate any help.

You can try messing with Quicktime's setings under edit/preferences. Also try closing all processes that might be using/clogging your internet connection. It's also possible that Piens doesn't have a big enough bandwith or fast enough connection.
I'm no expert in computers, but noticed that after the first song is over and all those colored lights stop turning on and off the video and audio stabilized and everything went smoothly, so I don' know if that has anything to do with the problem. Anyone noticed that?
Anyway I hope that helps.
Good luck and keep trying cause it's worth the effort.

I've tried several times to get it. I can hear the music, but no video. It keeps telling me I need to install the plugin, but then says it isn't available. I've updated QT, but still no video.
DonM

Not sure, but i think it uses the xvid codec. Google it and install it. It might work. I got the same message once, but don't remember if that did the trick.

I HATE QUICKTIME !

I have Windows XP SP2
Broadband Cable
The latest QT player.

Baatman's video never played, after waiting 7 minutes.
Vonkon's video, sort of played, but it was choppy and annoying.

I tried right clicking and saving, but of course I was not allowed. "No such Interface Supported"

I don't know why anyone would use Quicktime It's an annoying, intrusive application, that adds itself to your start menue, and forces you to use QT format. And the latest version adds I-Tunes to the download. I don't want I-Tunes. Stop force feeding the users!

Quicktime has now taken over the lead as the most annoying player on my list, surpassing Real. Real is now much more stable, while QT is just bad. I heard there is an alternative player that will play Quicktime formats, without the hassles. I'll have to check that out.

Anyway, it's a shame, as the video posted by Jerry looks to be promising. Now if it would only work.

I'll try again later, because as you can tell, I'm getting frustrated. Sorry, but I needed to vent.

Larry

Eddie,

Your Baartman's Video Link worked great.

I wonder if you can do the same magic with Vonckon's video.

I don't know how you made it work, but thanks!

(Oh yes, the video demo is awesome).

Larry

I'm having trouble as well.... I just launched the demo video for the 5th time AFTER loading the newest Quicktime...still waiting to see if something happens....

"Sing"cerely,

JEff

Still doesn't work for me. I did get to watch (with sound) about a quarter of the demo before. The problem started when I tried to fast forward the demo. I have been having problem since then. I tried cleaning up my RAM, (have 512MB) but still the same.

Oh well. I want to think it's more of their server's problem due to streaming audio/video..they really need a good and fast server since more and more people coming to their website to view the demo? Then again I don't know much about the technicality of broadband internet so I might be wrong.

Hi Larry
I am glad that you were finaly able to get to hear and see Peter Baartmans genius.
As for the Michel Voncken demo , I thought that you had already succeeded because in topic 012303 you told us about it!
I downloaded the Michel demo onto my desktop and then found it wouldn't play in Windows Media Player, so I tried it in Winamp and it worked perfectly! It is about 56MB and plays for about 12 minutes. It's good, but not nearly as good as Peter Baartmans.
By the way, for those who have not yet succeeded, you have to know that Peter speaks in Dutch and Michel speaks in German. But what the heck!,their playing makes up for it
By the way , I have put a link to Peter's demo on my webpage (which links directly to the movie on my FTP). Whether it will work for others though still depends on whether it behaves for them

cheers
Eddie

Hello to all,

The connection is very difficult. Though the access is limited, is there a way to download / save it on the HD so that everyone can see this impressive video in the best conditions ?

Thanks

Bruno

Hi Bruno
No. I don't think so
This is what I hoped would happen with the link I provide on my website but it doesn't always work
I think the time has come for someone to have a word with Piens MusicPlanet about the link and I will do that today.
cheers
Eddie
Later: I have just spoken to Piens.
The nice young lady said that today is only skeleton staff because of holidays but she will ask someone to get in touch with me by telephone. So I hope that soon we will have some better connections

http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/standalone.html

Just for the info, I installed this version of Quiktime (link above)and now the demo runs perfectly.

If you are familiar with Windows media encoder then you can record the demo with it from the window it plays in.

WME is free to download from: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/download/default.asp and choose Windows Media Encoder.

Hope it helps for someone.....

Hi Jacky,

I tried, but, as Eddie, I don't get any better connection.

I understand how to record the sound of the demo (when connection will be OK..), but not the video. Can WM Encoder record a streamed video ?

This one seems hard to get. I usually have no problem to download that kind of video using Net transport or Stream Down, but here, I only get errors (respectively "Not enough Bandwidth" and "Shake Hands Error").

The "real" link is this one I believe :

rtsp://195.207.143.99:7070/Tyros2_baartmans.mov

Maybe a specialist can help ?


Bruno

Ok, I was able to download Peter Baartman's T2 .Mov file here:

http://rapidshare.de/files/9088048/Tyros2_baartmans.mov.html


but when I attempt to play it in Quicktime Player 7.03 PRO, only the audio is heard (no video displayed). Strange because the size of the file is over 60MB. It certainly would be nice to watch the video along with the audio heard. Anybody know what the problem might be?

Scott

http://195.207.143.99:7070/Tyros2_baartmans.mov

Have used your link Bruno. Just changed the RTSP to HTTP and i could see the movie directly. I have sampled the audio only. About 115MB MP3 file. Little bit from the beginning is missing becouse of starting recording. So if you want it you can at least hear it ok. Let me know....

Jacky-D

Thanks for your kind proposition Jacky. But I downloaded the file Scottyee mentionned (thanks !) and it does have the audio section.

I'm afraid there's no way to have the video along. The file is 60 MB for a running time of more than 1:40 so no way to have the video included (with a minimum quality)

We'll need to convince Piens to release a downloadable version.. But we got the main part, didn't we ?

Scottyee, do you have the same rapidshare link for Michel Vonken's demo ?


Bruno

Well i recorded the audio incl. video now.
It's 210MB but in WMV so no need for Quicktime. Just plays in Mediaplayer.
Is the same quality as the online version.
Does anyone know where i can put is so that you can download it?

If anyone is interested ofcourse.....

Jacky-D

Hi Jacky-D, can you put it on a newsgroup? Let's say alt.binaries.music?

Sure must be possible, Never done it though.
Just tell me witch program to use and i'll get it there where u want it.

JD

you can post it in yousendit.com. Just go to the website enter any email address (doesn't need to be real), browse for the movie in your hard disk and send away. It takes a while depending on your internet connection, but it's
a pretty straightforward process.

Ok file is uploaded. I'll put the link here also, maybe it works for sombody else too.

Hi Jackie-D. I was able to dl the movie to my pc and am watching it right now (3rd time already). Thanks for posting it, I know it takes time and patience to upload a file of this size.

Nah, no problem. I'm glad it worked. Was the quality ok? Did you also see the Michel Voncken demo? Was a short one but very good quality. And could anyone else download the movie?

Laterzzz... JD

I tried the download is no longer available. I seem to remember a file can be downloaded a limited number of times from yousendit.com ??

[This message has been edited by Stephenm52 (edited 12-31-2005).]

Hmmmm.. to bad. BUT i also uploaded it to a newsgroup (alt.binaries.mpeg.video.music).
So if you have a newsreader then you can find it there. Look for the NZB on www.nzbzone.com or something like that.
Btw, does anyone have the Tyros 2 yet? Like to hear about it.

Hi JD
Go to the Search page, type in Tyros 2 and you will find all you need to know, including Demos from Synth Zone Members.

Quality of the video is the same as the streaming video, but that's good enough for me.
Anyway I've uploaded the vid once more for those of you who couldn't get it. Enjoy!
http://s5.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=2KE8NUC0IXK3H12IMS3A6NH68A

Hope it works, so please let me know.

jpapas,

Nice job. It is a huge download at 205MB and the download speed of 340kb a sec took about 13 minutes...not too bad.

Thanks to you, the video now plays with Windows Media Player 10. The audio is great, and the video is fair because whoever took the video should have used a zoom or changed the camera angle on occasion. It would have made for a more interesting video. But what the hey..it's still great....and it's 1 hr and 45 minutes of just playing, and singing with the great TyrosII, and that's a good thing.

What's more it's now easily burned to a DVD.
Thanks again for converting and sharing this nice demo video.

Happy New Year to you and everyone on the forum

Larry Hawk

The credit should go to Jacky-D. He's the one who converted the video I just helped by reuploading it.

Almost forgot. HAPPY NEW YEAR to all SZ members! May all your wishes and dreams come true.

Thx for the tip. Lots to view there.

JD

Can u tell me which one you mean? I could not download via your link becouse the file was removed. Can you upload again? Then i can hear the one you mean. Or is it the one with the Ding a dong song at the start?

Hi all,

Just registered in the forum in this new year 2006 . My name is Josef Xuereb, and i currently own a YAMAHA PSR-1500, but i'm planning to get a T2 in June after exams.

I have watched the Tyros 2 demo by peter baartmans. I remained speechless.

He's great - as most of you said, capable of playing any style, capable of playing all sorts of voices (super articulation in particular - i made a sort of trick and i played the video part of peter playing the concert guitar to my friends with the screen switched off - none of them guessed the sound was coming from a keyboard).

I am trying to watch the video of Michel Voncken at Deinze, but im having difficulty with the connection. I use cable internet (2Mbps currently). Any idea where i can find a downloadable version of it? I need to check out his musette pieces - he's brilliant with them.

Thanks

Oeps, i did it again (lol)

Have recorded the Michel Voncken demo.

For the Newsleecher users i include the link for the NZB
http://rapidshare.de/files/10209413/Tyros-2_Demo_Michel_Vonken.nzb.html

The movie is again in WMV format so no quicktime needed.

I also will upload the movie in RapidShare.
Will be 2 RAR files becouse the upload is only 100mb per file and the movie is about 160mb.

So as soon as it's uploaded i place the links here.

JD

Ok, as promised here are the links for the Michel Voncken Tyros 2 demo via RapidShare.

http://rapidshare.de/files/10212205/Tyros_2_Demo_Michel_Voncken.part2.rar.html

Just unrar the files and enjoy.

As i understand these downloads are unlimited so everybody should be able to get them.

Let me know if it works and if you liked it.

JD

Yes, sure he is

But you can se some of his Musette works in the official Yamaha Tyros 2 Movie here. (Right click and save as)

Vidar...



[This message has been edited by vidhat (edited 01-01-2006).]

I had already checked that ... a minute or so of some very fine french musette which is not that simple to play. I spent almost four days trying to learn it just by slow-motion playback of the original t2 demo video.

He plays that again in the deinze demo and goes on for what seems to be like 4 or 5 minutes (a must-see for virtuous players). That french musette drives me crazy - it's got all the liveliness with that fast tempo and notes are embellished so nicely.

baartmans is also very very good in his "italo-french" accordion pieces, but for the best of results, i believe that voncken is the man.

PS: im getting a message from rapidshare when downloading voncken's wmv demo - something like "Your ip address is already downloading something" or smthing of the sort.

[This message has been edited by jxuereb (edited 01-01-2006).]

jd i dont know but maybe reviewing a little the original tyros may give you an idea of the improvements from I to II. I believe you have already checked out all known t2 demos?

Check this guys http://music.yamaha.com/product/tyros2/manual/en_US/tyros2_2.pdf

Insted of us all trying to download a poor quality video why not go to YAMAHA UK Website.... http://www.yamaha-europe.com/yamaha_euro...ovies/index.php

Those of us who are still using dialup can't see the Peter Baartmans' quicktime streaming video. I have an idea how someone with highspeed MIGHT be able to help us "less fortunate souls" -- through Screen Capture. QT streaming video is not "recordable." However, there are programs to capture all that occurs in a "selected" rectangular area of one's screen, and save it to various formats.

One such program is CapturePad, found at http://www.capturepad.com/ . While the program only costs $25, it purports to have a FREE 14-day FULL FUNCTIONALITY demo. If I read it right, it would allow capturing the QT video stream (with audio) to AVI format.

A much more sophisticated program to do screen capture is Camtasia Studio at $299, but with a FREE 30-day FULL FUNCTIONALITY demo. It captures audio and video at HIGH QUALITY in a variety of formats. It is available at: http://www.techsmith.com/download/freetrials.asp

THIS TECHNIQUE WILL WORK! I've used Camtasia Studio to "screen capture" portions of a DVD playing on my computer. We're talking smooth full-motion video and high quality audio. It was easy to do, and worked great!

The captured movie could then be posted somewhere for download by interested parties. Or maybe it could be posted to yousendit.com (1GB file-size limit).

Anybody interested in giving it a go?

Charles

Jacky-D I managed to get it off the newsgroup you mentioned using Grabit.
Nice video but his playing and presentation isn't a patch on Michel Vonckens in my opinion. I find Voncken far more easier to listen to and got bored of Peter quickly, so fast forwarded through the majority of it.
Here's looking forward to the next Voncken one.

Yes i have seen all the demo,s ofcourse (lol) And the datalist of T2 is huge... I have the T1 myself and ordered a T2. Hopefully end of this month it's in.
But what i like to hear are some homemade MP3 or midi files. Pref. T1 midi so i can learn from others. (Still a beginner lol).

And for the one's who mist it, here are the links again for the Michel Voncken Demo 160MB 2 files RAR WMV from Piens.be.

JD

Yes i did that with Windows Media Encoder. See previous post. It is fully functional and above all it's FREE. You can also create your own stream with it.

JD

I think i know what you mean. MV is my first choice to. But i must admit, PB plays very well to.

JD

PS Did you see the MV demo form the T1 also?

[This message has been edited by Jacky-D (edited 01-02-2006).]

JD

Thanks a bunch! I was totally unaware of Windows Media Encoder. I just downloaded & installed it. Also, thanks for your work on the Baartmans movie. I was on the same track, but you were ahead of me.

Charles

You'r welcome. Show us a movie soon lol.

JD

jd how long have you been playing? I'm nearly 10 years into piano music and some 4 years ago i started playing the church organ as well.

Well seeing as you have tyros 1 urself you know what to expect next from the 2. And i sincerely feel that t1 compared with t2 is still very very good. Like voncken said, with the t2, "the best just got better", but seeing as you already have what many consider the best...

With 300 styles and more than 1000 voices, you really can't want much better - compared to me that is to say (190 styles, 791 voices - I had to download lots of styles and tweak voices from my psr in order to be happy with it.)

I had the chance to buy the t1 myself, but not the money but as soon as i finish a levels this june ill go buy myself a nice t2. But theyre still ruddy expensive here from malta theyre bout £2300 with NO extra equipment (speakers, cabling for pc etc). im just hoping that they come a bit cheaper round june hehe

[This message has been edited by jxuereb (edited 01-02-2006).]

I certenly hope that it will be a bit cheaper soon for you. It is realy a incredible instrument. In the Netherlands it is about 3600 Euro's with no stand/speakers or harddisk. But i got a good deal on my T1 to trade it in for a T2 with HD and 1gb samplemem. I play only about 2 years, but on my own it is very hard to learn. But i won't quit. Which PSR do you have? Is there still a Voncken demo of it?

Laterzzz... JD

mine is the psr-1500 - the smaller brother of the psr-3000, of which there is a video. There is no one of mine as far as i've seen

Features of the psr-1500 include:

— 791 voices (inc. 480XG, 256GM2, 1 Live! Orchetra, 5 Cool! voices, 6 Sweet! voices, and 12 drum kits);
— 190 styles (176 pro, 14 session);
— Sound creator (basic parameter editing), style and multi pad creator + import new styles;
— internet direct connection, usb to host + to device;
– music finder (1100 songs);
– 320 x 240 fulldot backlit LCD (monochrome);
– mixing console, with adjustable parameters for Panel, Style and Song Parts
- DSP effects;
- direct access button;
- left(with optional hold), right1, right2 parts;
- 16 track MIDI sequencer

i admire you for learning to play by urself, but its not just learning i believe. Hearing a LOT of music over and over again, i found, helps me not only learn the notes and to play them, but also the technique eg sax, flutes, clarinets, brasses, and guitars.

This is where theory of music comes in play. It's what you learn from written music that will help, and ultimately guide you to beautiful playing of instruments.

What i may suggest to you is this: when learning a new piece (especially difficult ones like voncken's musette or baartmans' organs), try to hear a slowed down version of the song at least some 6 times consecutively (most music experts recommend 15 to 20 times) in order to get the notes imprinted in the mind.

I wish you lots of fun with your t1, and hope youll enjoy your t2 when you get it btw good deal

Sorry for the late response, buzy week (lol).

I believe to that the hearing is crucial to learn something. And i know it will take me a long time to get there. But no hurry here.
At least i can use both hands (lol). But i'm enjoying the T1 very much also by playing good midi files on it. The score display helps a lot finding out notes and lower hand chords. Btw to bad there is no movie for the PSR 1500. But i found a little sort of comparison flash demo for the 1500/3000.
Just in case you have'nt seen it yet, here is the link. http://www.yamaha.com/yamahavgn/Multimedia/KeyboardsDMI/Flash/PSR1500_3000_300K.htm

And i will try what u sayd about slowing down the movie to see and hear it better.

Man- there's a demo on Yamaha Disklavier (also Peter Baartman's). Man that guy got some smooth jazz style on him!!

Guys- try to find a file called Disklavier M4. He got a couple nice jazzy tunes almost at the end of the demo.

Hi,

I was away from my computer for a while, so I hadn't seen the great work of Jacky-D and Scottyee to let us download the Piens demos. Thanks, guys !

But I could only download M. Voncken's demo through rapidshare.

I don't have Newsleechers. Jacky, could you upload P. Baartmans's demo the same way that you did for M. Voncken's

If not, what is the procedure ?

Thanks,

Bruno

I'll put it in RapiShare asap. Lol.
If you have not seen it yet your in for a treat.
As soon as it is uploaded i put the links here.

JD

Ok here they are: Peter Baartmans T2 movie WMV format 3 files in RAR. Download, unrar and enjoy...

Anyone into hearing some nice swingy and jazzy songs from Peter Baartmans, I stroungly recommend seeing the videos of the CVP and CLP digital pianos. He sure knows how to pack a punch out of them!

JackyD I don't have any current Internet Direct Connection. Not really a pity, however, as I download most songs in midi format from Internet and transfer to PSR via MusicSoft Downloader (available for free download from Yamaha's website).

Btw I'm planning to check out the T2 at my local Yamaha dealer tomorrow can't wait to get my hands on it hehe and i really hope he's got a foot controller plugged into it as i want to check out its super articulation voices sooo badly!!

Just take a foot pedal along with you, just in case there is not one attached.

Had to cancel the appoinment with T2

Hope I can go someday next week

I have to admit that those 2 videos at piens.com really inspired me into learning new techniques to play instruments - the organs section particularly, and also a lot of wind instruments and guitars and a big thank you goes to all of you who made the links and videos available online

Sincerely

2 bad u had 2 cancel . But when u go check it out, let us know. I can't wait 2 hear your comment about it. Record an Mp3 when you play it LOL.

Laterzzz.... JD

Thanks once again to Jacky-D for Peter Baartmans's demo !

(BTW : what is the difference between the 3 files ?)

Many of us have been impressed / inspired by these videos.

Unfortunately we don't have the midifiles, which would have been great..

Maybe top talented members could try to play some of the songs and upload midifiles (not note for note transcriptions, but general ideas on how to play the demos ).

What do you think ?


Bruno

It is a good idea but it has a drawback:

Most of Peter Baartmans' and Michel Voncken's songs use styles that are exclusively in T2 only, which means that a simple song will take a lot of time to play as MIDI as drum patterns and phrases have to be recorded manually. Remember that the big showcase of T2 is the huge style repertoire, and obviously in the demo these new styles will be played to give an idea of their quality.

Still a good idea, and spending some time with the songs is worth it - i simply get inspired to learn those songs just by hearing the T2 demos of them (and that includes oldies back to 50 and 60s)

I will upload some songs asap (i have voncken's musette in particular even if it may sound a bit different).

Hi,

The idea was precisely for T2 owners, using its internal styles. The transcription would help

- to have the chord sequence and the best style for a specific song.

- to use break / fills / variations in the best way

- to learn tips on how to play the different voices T2 can offer (guitar..)

I also tried to figure out Voncken's musette (the short piece he played in the official demo. If anyone knows the title ?) I just have the correct chord sequence and the original melody but no flourishes yet (I'm not able to make it sound like him ;-(
So it's not very nice to hear. But it's a start for...practise !

Bruno

The musette of voncken's official demo is available in a whole 2-minute song in the deinze demo which i have just learnt. It cost me a lot of time slow-playing the song and repeating playback, but it was worth the hassle. Thanks Michel!

I will try to upload a MIDI version (including the recorded FrenchMusette style as MIDI notes) as soon as possible. Any suggestions where to put the file are gratefully appreciated.

just recorded voncken's musette

allright it has a little silly mistakes but i believe it is passable

the only trouble is now where to upload - any tips?

Btw i am currently improving the current version and practising so as not to make mistakes in my next recording (i could easily edit the notes with a MIDI sequencer but that makes no sense to me - for performance, the important is PLAYING it right, not MAKING IT SOUND right)
