For the first time in months, I had a Friday off--no writing assignments, no music jobs, actual free time. The only thing on TV was war news, and a bunch of reporters who keep saying the same thing over and over again. Therefore, to relieve the stress, I fired up the keyboard and put together anther gig disk. This one has lots of big band numbers on it, which should appeal to a lot of the folks on this forum. You'll find at at www.psrtutorial.com

Enjoy,

Gary

Gary,
you did really a great job! I have downloaded all the three disks and they work great also on my 9000 pro. Thanks!

Hey Hey............Do you ever sleep? Thanks again for a great job on disk #3. Your gig disks have become an inspiration to me. I look so forward to them I practice my keyboard skills (or lack of.....) more often. I really look forward to those great disks! Thanks again. - charley

Thanks for the Kudo's guys and gals. I'm having fun putin the disk together, but additionally, they're also providing me with a great way to eliminate dead time between songs when I'm not using the PSR-2000's MFD. As far as I'm concerned, anything longer than 10 seconds between songs seems like eternity. I've even taken my MFD files and downsized them to 30 songs in a file, then set up specific styles for each location and type of audience. Unfortunately, the MFD can only access styles that are in the keyboard's memory.

The creation of the gig disks was to enable me the ability utilize all those great sounding style files that I have archived over the past few years and stored on floppy disks. The problem is we all have a dozen or more Big Band styles, all of which are different, all sound great, and the second you fire it up, a song pops into your head. But there are times when you need that information before pressing the start button. Renaming those files provides you with the ability to know which song the style sounds best with. Now you can then quickly turn to the page in your lyrics book that has the information on exact tempo and what key you sing the song in. If you're just going to play the song as an instrumental, your dead time between songs is less than two seconds--the time it takes the file to load from the floppy.

As for sleep, at my age the experts claim you don't need as much, and hey, who am I to argue with the experts. Besides, I'm having too much fun to sleep. A good friend put it best when he said "Life is like a roll of toilet paper--the closer you get to the end, the faster it comes off the roll."

Cheers,

Gary
