Re: Recording into a STYLE PART.

I'm sure people are saying, "Why bother to do all this?". It all depends on how one wants to play something. Do you find a STYLE that will 'fit' your song? Or do you have something in your head that you want to include in your song? I have been wanting to play My Way (you have already hear...

Re: Recording into a STYLE PART.

In all the Yamaha handbooks it tells you to use only the CM7 scale tones when recording the BASS and PHRASE channels (i.e. C, D, E, G, A, and B); and use only the chord tones when recording the CHORD and PAD channels (i.e. C, E, G, and B). I have been recording my STYLE PARTS this way (with the &quo...

Re: Tuning a keyboard instrument.

With Equal Temperament tuning, although the octaves are exactly in tune (Ratio 2:1), all the other notes are 'slightly out of tune' (and some more than others). When notes are 'out of tune' mathematically (ie. they are not in perfect ratios) not only does the ear perceive them as such, but you get '...

Brian, Yes, you can Amplify your track. This means basically that you increase the 'gain' by a fixed amount across the board. Which of course makes everything louder .
