Had a little keyboard problem. Got it fixed. Got a replacement recorder, another Tascam DR05. So I was checking things out.
Hooked it to headphone out and hit record and "messed around". No particular tune, just what popped into my pea brain at the time.
Used whatever came up on the one touch settings, except I threw a short grow sax in at one point.
Instruments are a piano (not the best one), a nylon guitar with strings, an electric guitar, two different saxes.
Opinions and comments about the sounds are welcomed.

Nice OMB jam Don! I heard a little Floyd Crammer in the piano part. Nylon guitar and growl sax sounded too fake for my tastes, but I rarely I find I like those sounds on any keyboard.... Electric guitar sounded real good as did the sounds in the style itself. Keep on jamin'

Brilliant,just my type of `messin `round.

Y'all mess around pretty good, my friend ...

I really enjoyed that Don nice playing all around.. you and the Roland Ea7 just perfect together..
it shows you don't have to spend $5,000 to sound fantastic, just saying.... thank you for sharing and a happy holiday to you and your family...

Great sound!

Nice job! 🎹

What is there not to like about this one, Don?

To me, somewhere beneath the surface... a gospel vibe flows into my inner ear... and it resonates with a laid back, bluesy layer of pure listening pleasure. What a great way to finish off a busy day. Thanks for that. Merry Christmas! ----Dave

Love it!

Thanks guys. Paul I agree about the sax. I think it needs some reverb and the touch that brings in the growl is a little too sensitive.
I am quite pleased with the EA7, despite some limitations...nothing I can't work around though.
I've just gotten to the point where I don't trust my ears so much, so need some input now and then. I'll post a real song soon.
I've been to a "Hootenanny" put on by SemiLive, Bill P. and just got back. He has written hundreds of songs and likes to try them out in front of people. Had some good Mexican food and heard some good tunes.

As always an excellent listen. I am curious though, do you record your vocals with the tascom dro7? Also did some checking on ebay and amazon. Not a lot of them available. lots of dr05's. What is the differences.

Tascam DR07 has been my choice for years..

And if I was to buy a new keyboard today.... it would be another EA7

Actually the EA7 has a nice audio recorder on board.. and a clean mic input..

I do have the DR-05. I typed the wrong number, and now have corrected it. Thanks.
I also have a DR-07 somewhere. It is smaller and may not still be available.
The DR-05 can be powered by USB, in addition to batteries.
Haven't tried the audio recorder on board, but the mic input and reverb are very good on the EA-7. Wish it had a harmonizer.
Also, I learned something today. I have a number of lead sounds in my "Favorite Sounds" bank. They are saved with the editing and effects in place at the time. However, if you have a OTS engaged (lit up), then call up a Favorite sound, if you have not exited the OTS (turning the light off), it retains the effects of the OTS.
That's why the Growl Sax sounded wrong to me. It wasn't using the effects I expected.
Thanks guys; it is a work in progress!

I'll bet you can find one at a great price Don good luck
& keep on Roland!

That was one thing that surprised me when I bought the PA900. I thought the E-A7 mic pre was significantly better sounding.

Thanks, but I have a T.C. Helicon Harmony M that I like a lot. Great voice processor and harmonizer! I just wish there was one built in, to save space and bother.
I tried the T.C. Helicon Performer VK, and it was very good, but I actually prefer the simplicity of the Harmony M I think.
