Don, I was just wondering if you ever use the CS on your Korg. It seems like a great feature for someone like you that does a lot pitch bending... I'm getting quite interested in the Rolnad and also the Korgs for the CS.

Sweet ol' country, my man! I'm inspired to dig out an old Jerry Lee Lewis tune, What Made Milwaukee Famous, I used to do long ago and give it another round. Is that one in your lists, Don? I'd love to hear you on that one.

Sure, doesn't everybody do it? smile
Russ, you had me totally turned on. Then I remember what you look like!
Paul, I use the CS a little, but not much. It is a great tool though.
I think you would like the PA3X.

I agree with Don never had much use for the CS either for my needs on my KORG PA3x but to each his own.....not everyone uses all the features afforded to them.. keys

This is because as you tend to slur your notes up to the correct pitch as a style of singing , the harmoniser tries to force the right pitch immediately and it sounds exaggeratedly off key . the harmoniser not your voice .So less is more. Otherwise it was a great job


Thanks Spalding, videos are very revealing! I generally don't overuse the harmonizer, but I agree I did on some of these. Also, the harmony voice was a tad louder than I thought it was at the time.
Also, some of my lead voices were too loud in relation to the accompaniment.

DNJ, I haven't quit working, but I sure am enjoying not working EVERY night. One of the reasons for updating my site was to help try to get a specific job. Hope it works!
Thanks,

Gives aspiring musicians/ entertainers some insight to where you got your "grit" so to speak, what do you think?

Hi Allan,
I have too much Native American in me to grow a beard. I remember it took months before it looked half way decent. I did it one other time but it would be all white now.
As to the stage setup, the one in the video isn't really what I use most of the time. I use an A-frame stand with two tiers. The top tier has laptop, mixer, recorder and plug strip. I leave them all in a case, and take the cover off and set the case on the tier. I used the simple stand in the video so people could see my hands better.
The bottom tier has the keyboard on it.
I have another setup with a contraption that Gary D. made for me, and it also has a place to leave everything in it. Both these have my name on the front with lights on it.
The top photo on the Photo page on my site has a similar setup, when I was using Audya.
The "old" setup from the early 80's was a full size organ, compete with Leslie, and huge Peavey PA. My gear at that time barely fit in a full-sized Chevy Van, and it took two people to load and unload.
