You sure there isn't a real drummer somewhere out of sight of the camera?

Those are some pretty awesome drums. Sound like the real thing.

His name is Claudio Cafe, from Goiania, Brazil.

He assembles his styles sequencing in Protools using custom drum kits in Kontact. Then he transfer the User Drum Loops to the Audya.
A very good musician with an amazing keyboard.

He is playing some variations of Forró and Arrocha, very popular styles in Brazil.

Paulo

Yes, you are correct
He uses EZ Drummer with ProTools for the main drums
And uses Kontakt for the Percusion parts
And then triggers the sfx wav files as he performs,
Not sure if he programs the drums midi, and then uses EZ drummer
Or if he has an actual drummer do the midi drums and then runs through ez drum er, EZ drummer is actual drum samples, so the result is amazing

The fact is the Audya uses .wav drum loops so thats why it sounds so real,
You can have a real drummer on every style

I own the Roland G-70 and have tried PA3x and Tyros 5,
I love my Audya and wouldnt trade it for the world

Same can be done with Varranger... And in Varranger you can even use the NI komplete drums, or whatever other virtuall drums (i like steinberg drummer) over midi... With 5 effects on every single drumsound and roundrobbin.. Thats where the real power lies... Audya indeed just plays the wav file, but the true sound and creativity comes from the DAW...

Keep in mind tough, that audya is the only arranger that allows for this.. Not only drums, but also guitars and basses can sound incredible in this way...


Best sounding styles for sure, loved the styles on audya, and didnt even have the ajamsonic upgrade, to bad that my specific unit was unreliable..

BUT the only thing is you can't create your own Audio Guitars, Audio Bass, like you can the Drums, Only Ketron has ability to swap/load new guitar loops. So you are limited to what is there. I would love some ukulele (cavaquinho) loops
That's what is needed in Audya Pro. :-)

Re: AUDYA - Why EVERYONE should own one !!! - 06/23/15 05:42 AM

And instead of audio guitars, maybe create some pads from VSTz like Omnisphere. Or create some arpeggios.

There would be no limit on creativity

Ketron. Let us create/load our own Audio Guitars, the folder is already there in the OS

Custom styles, lot's of premium equipment. It's not just the keyboard that is giving the sound. I think one would be a bit
disappointed if he expected to get the quality sound with just
a couple of decent speakers. Just saying. Lloyd

It is not my tatste , i found the drums awfull ( to much) .
I have played in several live bands and there is no drummer sounding equal , and this recording not even comes close to
the "real" thing .

with some tweaking the drum on the T4&5 sounds better and balanced in a mix .

Impuls .

True, but you can use the available audio guitars in your own styles... And there seems plenty of choice... But i agree, they should have allowed people to create their own...

Untill then we probably need to wayt till yamaha adds audio instruments to their styles... Because i recently noted that they do have the technollogies patented for creating full audio based arranger tracks... And then, they will probably remove all edditing and selfcreation posibillities from those audio parts..

So our best hope is probably Varranger adding this technollogy... Which probably will take some time, as there are many many other priorities on Dans list for adding first..

Here is a similar beat done on the AUDYA AJAMSONIC keyboard:- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5XNKdLWx2pk

Or ... Live Gospel:- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ka7cWkkoplI

In this case, a LIVE drummer was used in combination with VST (Percussions) ... and you can 'feel' it too.

awful? doesn't sound like the real thing?
so you know what the REAL "FORRO" rhythm sounds like?

i'd LOVE for you to post what great sounding drums are
and please record it from your Tyros 5, and post here so we can all be amazed

maybe this is not YOUR type of music, BUT
for anyone who is Brasilian or plays THIS kind of music, it sounds amazing, believe me.

Also, these drums are not AUDYA's drums, they are Custom built, recorded, etc, TOTALLY NEW, using EZ Drummer and a VERY talented musician, programmer.

we await your AWESOME REAL drums from you :-)

To my aging ears, using beat up headphones and my Yamaha YST MS50 sound system, Aj's drums sounded much fuller, more like the real thing. However, to be perfectly honest, I seriously doubt that any audience I've played for in three decades would notice any difference. And, more than likely, they probably could care less just as long as you provided them with great entertainment and excellent vocals.

All the best,

Gary cool

Well, my ears care, espescially when i am playing myself..

Arrangers are still made for home use, and thats where every bit of authenticy might count for people that pay over $4000 for an arranger..

I agree, Leezone. One cannot tell the difference between Claudio's recording and a live band playing this type of music.

OT. Are you brazilian?

Thank You Paulo!!!

Of course if your cup of tea is Jazz, these Drums suck for you and are way too LOUD,

no I am not Brasilian, but love the music,
I am Portuguese, living in New Jersey, USA
