Or did you play that live...?

The phrasing on it is superb.



Diki that is the stock #1 Intro for that style....I played Piano & Strings over the top of my Vocals & Harmony on the demo......
But You could easily duplicate it using Intro #2 which allows you to play it yourself.

There are definity some great sounds inside the Korg units for sure.

Great stuff, Donny. Very Smooth!

Maybe you could Donny, but that trumpet part is pretty heavily edited from just stock playing, and I think I would be hard pressed to just PLAY that line as cleanly and consistently as the Intro. The little turns and valve 'blips', all without making the volume jump are a bear to get right in realtime, and notice how it NEVER has any overlap between notes (trumpet can ONLY play one note at a time!). That takes some pretty hairy technique to get just right and still get a legato line...

I'm not saying you CAN'T, just it's a LOT more difficult than it sounds if you want that degree of realism. As I've been saying on the T2 thread, it's not just the sampled note that makes a great sound, it's how well the transitions BETWEEN notes work that really make an imitative part fool even a horn player!

Well I have brought the pa800 home to give it a really good try and must say I am very impressed with the sounds and some of the styles.

The OS was updated in the store but we are not really sure if the res v150 really loaded, the board sounds fine though.

Does everything load when you start loading the Os.

We loaded the OS but the res did not seem to want to load.

The PSR3000 is now up for sale.

Hi Ken,
one way of checkingmay be to press the Sound select button, choose guitars, & see if you have the new Real Guitars , they're on page 20. Just scroll thru the tabs, they go from 1-4, 5-8 etc.

best wishes

Rikki it appears that the update has not loaded.
I can bring up the update on USBF but when selected the buttons OPEN,CLOSE and SELECT remain shaded and try as I may I cannot get the select button to work.

Has anyone any ideas.

Hi Ken,
the update is in 2 parts.
When switching your PA800 on, whilst loading does it show 1.51 as the operating system , if so, then the operating system has been loaded ok, all you then need to do is load the 1.50 Resources File.

Hopefully you have the 1.50 resources file on your USB stick, if not down load it from the Korg site.
http://www.korgpa.com/pa_root/en/products/pa800_soft.html?en

You'll notice the 2 files.
1.51 which is the latest operating system & may have already been loaded into your keyboard

1.50 Musical resources. This File contains styles sounds etc.


Copy the 1.50 Musical resources to your usb stick. Plug it in the front.

My Manual is 1.0 Page 234 Media Edit Mode
Utility.

What we're doing is Full Restore Resources.

Press Multi Media Button.
Choose "Utility"
select "Full Restore Resources"
Choose USB_F
Find the 1.50 file
Press Restore Command.

It takes quite a while.
Don't touch the keyboard till it finishes.

Only do this if operating 1.51 has already been loaded.

If not we'll cover this tomorrow.

best wishes
Rikki

Good morning Rikki.

Just a couple of questions before I go ahead.

Do you have to load the 1.50 Musical resources file differently to the Operating system update files?

Does the Musical resources update contain the original files as well as the update thus being a "full restore".

Hope these questions make sense.
