Gigging with more than one keyboard. - 02/15/16 11:21 AM
For the past couple of months, both my wife and I, and me as a solo, have been using our Tyros 4 for gigs.
Since we still have the S970, I thought I would copy the updated duo/solo gig files from the Tyros to the S970 in case I decided to use the S970.
I changed the names of the existing files on the Tyros so as to not confuse the existing links(gigs)on the S970 when I transferred gigs via USB.
Of course, each style, voice, multipad, text file and you name it has a different destination on the S970 than it has on the Tyros. And on the Tyros, a number of the voices and styles I use come from the Country Musician pack that doesn't translate to the S970.
Bottom line, having more than one arranger, even of the same brand Yamaha(though different models ) involves A LOT of what we used to call programming time....hard for me anyway to justify time wise, two, ready to go, gigging keyboards.
Sort of makes me wish I could start over. Pick the one arranger I wanted and stick with that for the next number of years.
Kudos to all of you that can keep more than one arranger going.
