Scott, I really enjoyed your rendition of "Things We Said Today"
May I ask what style you used and how you achieved the vocal harmony. Great stuff!

Hi Paul, Ian, & Donny. Glad you guys enjoyed it.
I intentionally took a different approach on it than the Beatles original. grin

I recall that was a Tyros 2 factory pop latin style, but don't remember the actual style name.
Used the TC Helicon VoiceWorks, of which I think my current Tyros 4's 'built in' Vocal harmonizer sounds similar to, so ...
After upgrading to Tyros 4, I stopped needing to use the TC Helicon VoiceWorks unit anymore.
Anyone interested in acquiring my TC Helicon VoiceWorks unit? - Scott smile

Hi Bill,
interesting version. Really enjoyed it.

Are you reffering to Korg Unplugged styles?? it was great to see they added a few more to the pa3x.

Scott, You’re a pro. Your use of the vocal harmony is excellent; you added just enough.

OK, you’re hired.

Ian, you’re playing my kind of music; the background sounds like Jobeim. (Spelling??)

Thanks, John C.

I did an extensive clinic with him on the PSR-9000Pro at Yamaha Head Office in Scarborough Ontario...awesome guy...humble, great sense of humor...a real gadget freak as well.

Definitely one of my heroes.

Ian


OSCAR ... that's all that need be said ...
As to his being a gadget freak, I am not surprised to hear that as a good number of years ago I saw a PBS special about him and it showed him in his studio playing a keyboard connected to PC that printed out what he had just played ... He was into 'notation software' I think before a lot of us knew it existed ...

He sure freaked me out the day I was with him.

Split the keyboard on the PSR-9000Pro, and played in two different time signatures...at the same time.

3/4 in the left and 4/4 in the right....interspersed with little positive comments about the action feel and the button placement.

Sure wish I had switched on the 9000's sequencer and captured it.

He had on a weird watch that spoke the time, and crowed like rooster on the hour (too funny!)...it and was also a calculator...he was such a "positive" guy...total "up" all the time.

Truly a great loss. I was so fortunate to be in the right place at the right time.

Ian

PS...he ended up buying the 9000Pro, plus a top end CVP Clavinova.
