One voice will not change the overall sound of the mix..but to each their own...

Donny, the only ones that, obviously, need changing are the stereo sampled voices, which mainly are pianos. Changing them makes a world of difference. I don't know of any stereo styles or multi-pads, but I could be wrong because I pretty much ignore some of the new styles in the dance area of the keyboard.

Gary's right Donny. Changing the piano voice can make a huge difference.

Gary,
i would like to try your mono-piano, for those rare occasions I may need to play in mono.
Do you think it will work on a Tyros5?

Thanks,
Skip G

It will work on all Yamaha arranger keyboards.

You can download it from: https://app.box.com/s/620aqowt5q1vlnvcl7n9 The link provides you with a number of modified voices I created for Yamaha arranger keyboards. They will all work on the T5.

Good luck,

Gary cool

As i said before stereo give your sound more "depth and body" JMHO


At the end of the day, if you "feel" good about how you sound, then you tend to play better and that flows though the music to the audience; in my opinion.

Quick report - I did another job at the same place, same setup, as mentioned in this note as I created it - except I used 2 Bose S1's instead of 1. No surprise: sounded MUCH better ... I know that stereo will sound better than mono, and I almost always go stereo - but I didn't know it would make that much difference in clarity, fullness, "feel-good-about-playing" etc.!

2 Bose S1's did fantastic for this and other smaller gigs I have done ... setup is so quick. For a couple of places I play regularly, I just put them on the floor, a bit behind, angled up (using the built-in slight angle-up position), seem to do well and got good feedback on the overall sound. I can hear them as "monitors" just fine, and reports are that they get good sound to the audience. I have not yet had to re-charge the battery, and I've done I think 5 gigs with them (1 hour each).

I’ve been very impressed with my Bose S1 pair. However, I’ve always had them on stands. I haven’t tried the floor placement thing but I’ve read others reporting good results.
