Nah, no problem. I'm glad it worked. Was the quality ok? Did you also see the Michel Voncken demo? Was a short one but very good quality. And could anyone else download the movie?

Hmmmm.. to bad. BUT i also uploaded it to a newsgroup (alt.binaries.mpeg.video.music).
So if you have a newsreader then you can find it there. Look for the NZB on www.nzbzone.com or something like that.
Btw, does anyone have the Tyros 2 yet? Like to hear about it.

Hi JD
Go to the Search page, type in Tyros 2 and you will find all you need to know, including Demos from Synth Zone Members.
Hope this helps.

Nice job. It is a huge download at 205MB and the download speed of 340kb a sec took about 13 minutes...not too bad.

Thanks to you, the video now plays with Windows Media Player 10. The audio is great, and the video is fair because whoever took the video should have used a zoom or changed the camera angle on occasion. It would have made for a more interesting video. But what the hey..it's still great....and it's 1 hr and 45 minutes of just playing, and singing with the great TyrosII, and that's a good thing.

What's more it's now easily burned to a DVD.
Thanks again for converting and sharing this nice demo video.

Can u tell me which one you mean? I could not download via your link becouse the file was removed. Can you upload again? Then i can hear the one you mean. Or is it the one with the Ding a dong song at the start?

For the one's who have NewsLeecher, here is a link to download the NZB files for the PB T2 demo. http://rapidshare.de/files/10193995/NewsLeecher_NZB_PB_demo_T2.rar.html

Just registered in the forum in this new year 2006 . My name is Josef Xuereb, and i currently own a YAMAHA PSR-1500, but i'm planning to get a T2 in June after exams.

I have watched the Tyros 2 demo by peter baartmans. I remained speechless.

He's great - as most of you said, capable of playing any style, capable of playing all sorts of voices (super articulation in particular - i made a sort of trick and i played the video part of peter playing the concert guitar to my friends with the screen switched off - none of them guessed the sound was coming from a keyboard).

I am trying to watch the video of Michel Voncken at Deinze, but im having difficulty with the connection. I use cable internet (2Mbps currently). Any idea where i can find a downloadable version of it? I need to check out his musette pieces - he's brilliant with them.

Thanks

Have recorded the Michel Voncken demo.

For the Newsleecher users i include the link for the NZB
http://rapidshare.de/files/10209413/Tyros-2_Demo_Michel_Vonken.nzb.html

The movie is again in WMV format so no quicktime needed.

I also will upload the movie in RapidShare.
Will be 2 RAR files becouse the upload is only 100mb per file and the movie is about 160mb.

So as soon as it's uploaded i place the links here.

JD

posted 01-01-2006 09:48 AM         

Just unrar the files and enjoy.

As i understand these downloads are unlimited so everybody should be able to get them.

Let me know if it works and if you liked it.

I had already checked that ... a minute or so of some very fine french musette which is not that simple to play. I spent almost four days trying to learn it just by slow-motion playback of the original t2 demo video.

He plays that again in the deinze demo and goes on for what seems to be like 4 or 5 minutes (a must-see for virtuous players). That french musette drives me crazy - it's got all the liveliness with that fast tempo and notes are embellished so nicely.

baartmans is also very very good in his "italo-french" accordion pieces, but for the best of results, i believe that voncken is the man.

PS: im getting a message from rapidshare when downloading voncken's wmv demo - something like "Your ip address is already downloading something" or smthing of the sort.

jd i dont know but maybe reviewing a little the original tyros may give you an idea of the improvements from I to II. I believe you have already checked out all known t2 demos?

Check this guys http://music.yamaha.com/product/tyros2/manual/en_US/tyros2_2.pdf

its the data list that comes with the tyros 2 - contains the full list of voices, styles, megavoice ranges, vh ...

One such program is CapturePad, found at http://www.capturepad.com/ . While the program only costs $25, it purports to have a FREE 14-day FULL FUNCTIONALITY demo. If I read it right, it would allow capturing the QT video stream (with audio) to AVI format.

A much more sophisticated program to do screen capture is Camtasia Studio at $299, but with a FREE 30-day FULL FUNCTIONALITY demo. It captures audio and video at HIGH QUALITY in a variety of formats. It is available at: http://www.techsmith.com/download/freetrials.asp

THIS TECHNIQUE WILL WORK! I've used Camtasia Studio to "screen capture" portions of a DVD playing on my computer. We're talking smooth full-motion video and high quality audio. It was easy to do, and worked great!

The captured movie could then be posted somewhere for download by interested parties. Or maybe it could be posted to yousendit.com (1GB file-size limit).

Anybody interested in giving it a go?

Yes i have seen all the demo,s ofcourse (lol) And the datalist of T2 is huge... I have the T1 myself and ordered a T2. Hopefully end of this month it's in.
But what i like to hear are some homemade MP3 or midi files. Pref. T1 midi so i can learn from others. (Still a beginner lol).

And for the one's who mist it, here are the links again for the Michel Voncken Demo 160MB 2 files RAR WMV from Piens.be.

Yes i did that with Windows Media Encoder. See previous post. It is fully functional and above all it's FREE. You can also create your own stream with it.

Nice video but his playing and presentation isn't a patch on Michel Vonckens in my opinion. I find Voncken far more easier to listen to and got bored of Peter quickly, so fast forwarded through the majority of it.
Here's looking forward to the next Voncken one.

I think i know what you mean. MV is my first choice to. But i must admit, PB plays very well to.

PS Did you see the MV demo form the T1 also?

You'r welcome. Show us a movie soon lol.

posted 01-02-2006 01:11 PM            

Well seeing as you have tyros 1 urself you know what to expect next from the 2. And i sincerely feel that t1 compared with t2 is still very very good. Like voncken said, with the t2, "the best just got better", but seeing as you already have what many consider the best...

With 300 styles and more than 1000 voices, you really can't want much better - compared to me that is to say (190 styles, 791 voices - I had to download lots of styles and tweak voices from my psr in order to be happy with it.)

I had the chance to buy the t1 myself, but not the money but as soon as i finish a levels this june ill go buy myself a nice t2. But theyre still ruddy expensive here from malta theyre bout £2300 with NO extra equipment (speakers, cabling for pc etc). im just hoping that they come a bit cheaper round june hehe

I certenly hope that it will be a bit cheaper soon for you. It is realy a incredible instrument. In the Netherlands it is about 3600 Euro's with no stand/speakers or harddisk. But i got a good deal on my T1 to trade it in for a T2 with HD and 1gb samplemem. I play only about 2 years, but on my own it is very hard to learn. But i won't quit. Which PSR do you have? Is there still a Voncken demo of it?

posted 01-02-2006 02:47 PM            

Features of the psr-1500 include:

— 791 voices (inc. 480XG, 256GM2, 1 Live! Orchetra, 5 Cool! voices, 6 Sweet! voices, and 12 drum kits);
— 190 styles (176 pro, 14 session);
— Sound creator (basic parameter editing), style and multi pad creator + import new styles;
— internet direct connection, usb to host + to device;
– music finder (1100 songs);
– 320 x 240 fulldot backlit LCD (monochrome);
– mixing console, with adjustable parameters for Panel, Style and Song Parts
- DSP effects;
- direct access button;
- left(with optional hold), right1, right2 parts;
- 16 track MIDI sequencer

i admire you for learning to play by urself, but its not just learning i believe. Hearing a LOT of music over and over again, i found, helps me not only learn the notes and to play them, but also the technique eg sax, flutes, clarinets, brasses, and guitars.

This is where theory of music comes in play. It's what you learn from written music that will help, and ultimately guide you to beautiful playing of instruments.

What i may suggest to you is this: when learning a new piece (especially difficult ones like voncken's musette or baartmans' organs), try to hear a slowed down version of the song at least some 6 times consecutively (most music experts recommend 15 to 20 times) in order to get the notes imprinted in the mind.

I wish you lots of fun with your t1, and hope youll enjoy your t2 when you get it btw good deal

I believe to that the hearing is crucial to learn something. And i know it will take me a long time to get there. But no hurry here.
At least i can use both hands (lol). But i'm enjoying the T1 very much also by playing good midi files on it. The score display helps a lot finding out notes and lower hand chords. Btw to bad there is no movie for the PSR 1500. But i found a little sort of comparison flash demo for the 1500/3000.
Just in case you have'nt seen it yet, here is the link. http://www.yamaha.com/yamahavgn/Multimedia/KeyboardsDMI/Flash/PSR1500_3000_300K.htm

And i will try what u sayd about slowing down the movie to see and hear it better.
