"Sloppy" Harmony on X1. - 12/10/01 05:30 AM
Hi all:
After over a year of no posting on this great forum I am glad that you guys are still there to "bounce off" a little problem related to my X1 I've been dealing with for sometime now.
First let me say that in my humble opinion, after having owned many and varied keyboards in the last 20 years; I have yet to find a Keyboard that has the realism in the sounds and inteface friendliness that the X1 offers; but enough for the compliments. I am, however, very desapointed about the "sloppiness" of the sound when you add harmony to the lead instrumentthe notes just don't sound "tight" enough together(sorprise! The SD1 has the same problem.)
I own a PSR740 as well(that's how I came to this realisation)and there's no comparison; the Yamaha "seamless" transition from one chord to the next is infinitely better. Regardles of the timing when playing the chord with your left hand, the chord is perfectly constructed and at the right time at the lead side. I love The PSR740, it just doesn't interface with the player as well as the X1 in "live" setting. I also love the Yamaha pianos much better. I've tried "twicking" the X1 all possible ways hoping to get rid of the "sloppines" but I've run out options. What do you think AJ?
Am I all alone on this? Does anyone out there have any feedback on this subject? This is driving me "bunkers".
