Good job Niels.

What style and guitar lead did you use? I get my G70 tomorrow, can't wait - perfect compliment to the S900

Niels,

Lovely recording...lead instruments were terrific...well phrased and beautifully played.

The melody was simple, but very effective and your arrangement was well thought out.

Fine work, to be sure.

Niels,

Great arrangement of this classic Oasis song (don't know if the british rock band Oasis is known in the US). It has inspired me to try it out on my Pa800 too.

Kind regards,
Tommy

Hi

Thanks for the nice comments.

zuki,

I’m using the internal style Soft Rock. The guitar is a mix of V LP OverDr and the SRX-07 guitar NashvilleSRX.

Regards
Niels

I agree with all the above comments nice drumming - the virtual drummer must have built up a sweat

Did you tweak the soft rock style somehow , or use an effects/filter of some kind on the style - it sounds very good even on my small PC speakers

Careful, Zuki. You are about to enter a zone that might leave you hating BOTH keyboards!

The SOUND of the G70 is going to show the S900 up for being a bit on the thin and anemic side, but the OS is going to drive you crazy at times, compared to the S900's more logical layout!

For me, it is sound above all else, so, no problem. But I DO understand where a lot of the loyalty to Yamaha comes from (and it sure ain't the bass and drums!).

We have a member at Roland-arranger who is experimenting with sync-ing two arrangers together (not just sounds, but style sections, too!) but he reports that sadly the Yamaha's don't have the MIDI codes for the Style section to achieve this. Otherwise, the two could be mind-melded and you could create possibly the perfect arranger!

But I have a sneaky feeling (with this combination) you are going to be pulling your hair out in frustration, AND loving the sound all at the same time

Hi Tony

I have tweaked the style with the Makeup Tools, but havn´t used any external effects or filters.

What are you using for monitors, Neils?

On my Mackie HR824's, it comes over as a little hyped at the top and bottom, but I'm sure on computer speakers it ROCKS! What Mastering Tools settings are you using, these days?

That's a great song from the battling brothers, too. Thanks for posting it. I always thought of them as the modern day Kinks (who I adore)...

Good job!

Diki,

Don't mind pulling my hair out if it's for a good cause. When it all comes together with the great sounds and styles, it'll be worth the effort. I have past experience with Roland, including a short stint with the E-50, so hopefully I'll remember a few things. Besides, I'm in no hurry to launch live.

Neilshs very nice work on that tune. Do you still have your Tyros2?

Zuki, Diki hit the nail on the head, I've been there and done that. He's so right in his statement. The G70 changed the way I viewed Yamaha for a long time to come. Once you tame that beast you'll be on your way. Good luck!

Neilshs you can make pretty much any instrument sound great, i have learned this from pretty much every demo you have done even with the first versions of the G70 when it was generally regarded as sounding poor.

What might be useful is posting the same demo using the best sounds from the previuos G70 OS. If improvements have been made sonically then that would be something we could assess. If the OS update was simply to make using the instrument easeier, then we cant assess that from a demo. what would be useful is if you can tell us what the new OS version has enabled you to do that the previous one could not ?

Thanks Niels for explaining - i have only just started exploring the style makeup , and am impressed by its simplicity in being able to quite radically alter a style yet still sound fab

(PS: I have just tried a couple of pretty bland sounding converted tyros styles and the makeup tools quickly brought them to life)
