Hi Fran,

the CD is 64+ minutes long.
Kinda hard to upload.
I was more like thinking of sending it to you; if you like.

If you are interested send me your address via e-mail.
I'll be happy to give (send) it to you.

Eric

We all need to keep our priorities in perspective. I keep wishing more people would post & share their music, to stimulate disccusion about general 'arranger keyboard playing techniques' rather than comparing how one keyboard sounds better' than the other. - Scott


Scott I totaly agree with you, talk is cheap, lets ALL start posting some Arranger KB Mp3 songs, demos, etc, etc, so we can listen, discuss & try to learn something about what it is we are all supposed to be talking about here on the general arranger keyboard forum. Theres no excuse now that you can use "YOU SEND IT" as a host site for your MP3 songs.....this mine is better then yours is really getting old.
Scott, BTW........it was nice to talk to you again the other day on the phone.....thanx for the chat

Until recently, the best piano and vibe sounds I ever heard from a keyboard were those created by the Yamaha PSR-5700, a 50-pound brute that broke my back every time I hoisted it onto the stand. However, those were the only two sounds that were good.

Today's sounds, especially those sweet, live and super articulated voices, make the sounds of yesteryear pale by comparison. The sax sounds from keyboards manufactured a decade ago sounded more like someone playing a kazoo--they were awful. The guitar sounds fit into the same category, even when played by someone with incredible talent. Good organ sounds were out of the question, and things such as a growl sax, real sounding strings and live drum kits didn't exist.

New and inovative technology has made all this possible, and for the most part, affordable. Yes, that G-1000 may still sound great, especially when playing midi files. But, post an MP3 of a Bill Doggett (spelling) version Honky Tonk using that G-1000's sax V/S the T2's sax and there's no comparison. For me, I'll take the new technology and sounds of today.

Cheers,

Gary

I have to agree with Gary.
I hope Vince Andreone doesn't mind me posting his version of Honky Tonk. It is performed on the Tyros. It is the best version I have heard. He sounds more like Bill Dogget than Bill Dogget.

Here is the G1000 playing Doggett's Honky Tonk...I think the G1000 sounds better than Bill's recording..
I still like the old..
I sent the file to Donny, he will show case the Tyros2....Remember we are trying to sound like Doggett...

No tweaking Donny...I didn't..If you do , I will have to do the same and re record..

I do favor Fran's performance but that doesn't mean that the G1000 does a better job then the T2. Perhaps Fran's just the better player? Guess that's what makes the difference.

Guys, that was a sequence I used..
My intention was to compare the old sounds against the new[DNJ will post the T2 with the same sequence]..This was my answer to Gary's challenge..

Staying with the old verses new...I think that my G1000[old] for the most part sounds better than my DisCover5 [new]..

Would someone with a G70 record this same sequence and post it for us to compare..I would be happy to email you the sequence.

Likewise Korg PA1x..SD1..Genesys owners..
