Top line Kbs (Volume and effects) - 09/26/01 04:14 PM

Last years, I tried practically all the keyboards top of line. Each one with its advantages and defects. The perfect keyboard, certainly would have a little of each one. A thing has called me the attention and, in this topic, Yamaha wins the others Kbs.The careful balance between parts of acc and melody(volume and effects).Any stile + OTS (or any voice R1,R2 and R3) is always read do run.

Hi Chico
I love Yamaha, but I almost always find all the accomp volumes way too high. I am always turning it down to 90 (sometimes 80's). Plus, the drum parts!! Even lower. Each to their own, I guess.

Gotta love the ol' Roland System then.
A slider that sets the Balance between acc and melody. Use it everyday on my G1000.

I also have sliders on my wk8 that I can use to set the volumes of all the arranger parts including drums in real time. You can then store the settings to a performance. Nothing like real sliders !!

Yep, my Roland EM2000 has the volume balance slider, too. And my Korgs have a slider for the Accomp and one for the lead voices, and another for overall volume (pa80).

Tom,

Your post surprized me. I'm always turning the accompaniment volume up, not down, on my 9000PRO. I guess we each hear things a little differently.

Get this... years ago when I played, I hated the drums so much I always turned them off! I grew into them & like them now, but at a lower volume.
