Brian Hi, Alan is an awesome keyboardist - his relaxed style of playing three keyboards with that thingy he taps out drum solos on with end result sounding like a big band blows me away every time I listen to him :D He also makes some of the very best backing tracks on the planet - there are quite a...
Wotcha Brian, I have been watching this topic develop over the last week or so and it's been interesting to read the comments posted so I thought I would add my 2 cents worth :wink: I'm with Andy all the way on this one - given the choice it would be an organ over a keyboard everyday! BUT .... it ha...
Hiya Fred, Firstly, confirm that you are using Google Chrome as your browser (web-ferret as you call it) :wink: To do that, go to the 3 horizontal line logo (see picture in my previous post) and hover over it and it should say 'Customize and control Google Chrome' When you have done that go here - h...
Hiya Fred, If you are adding it from the google extension page there is no installation needed - it will add this little logo to the top right hand corner of your browser. http://i853.photobucket.com/albums/ab92/tiercedepicardiecouk/tiercedepicardiecouk162/2fc0b5d6-48a3-461b-8b95-34537adb02bb_zpsnt2...
Hiya Fred, What browser are using? If you are using Chrome or Firefox you can go to their 'extension' pages and get the appropriate browser pop-up blocker - there will be a wide choice so choose one that has the most downloads as this will give you an idea of it's popularity and effectiveness. Chrom...
How does one learn to make the left hand jump from the lower to the upper manual and back again in tempo? John does it with ease even on the EL with a short upper manual. I guess it's just practice .... The absolute master at that technique has to be Richard Hills - to watch him doing with it both ...

Hmmmmmm ... the attempt by Tony Stace and Andrew Nix at trying to follow Jean Martyn's success with the organ on 'Britains Got Talent' failed big time tonight .... four X's in less than 15 seconds! The electronic organ already suffers a 'lack of esteem' where the general public are concerned - so th...
Wotcha guys, Well, this has turned out to be a most interesting and educational topic :D :D So I thought combining a little bit of Sibelius with a more modern approach may go down well at this point :wink: The Nice (Keith Emerson) - Karelia Suite 1969 using Hammond L100 with Leslie cabinets. The vid...
Hmmmm - I hope they are able to find a new home for the entire collection - it would be a disaster to see them returned to a pile of bits in a shed somewhere.
Wotcha guys, During the late 70's and early 80's I used go to many 'open air' summer concerts, my favourite venue was Kenwood House in North London. I would regularly go when Christopher Hogwood and the AAM were performing - always superb concerts - they were enjoyed whilst drinking ice cold gin &am...
Hello Ken, Here are a couple of video tutorials on the Yamaha registration memory and style creator ... the model of the keyboard may differ from yours but the procedure should be the same :wink: http://tierce-de-picardie.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=131&t=283 http://tierce-de-picardie.co.uk/viewtopic....
Personally I have never liked him, his rudeness and arrogance irritates the hell out of me. As for him being sacked ... the BBC made the right decision - to do anything less would be to endorse workplace violence. Some people will say that this incident has been blown out of proportion - but the man...
Hiya Ken, I'm probably not the best person to ask for help on up to date instruments but I seem to remember doing something like this on my S900 .... have a go at this ... Go to Function>Utility>System Reset Tab and click the System Setup button (F). Tab to User and depress Save to a new Name (e.g. ...

I'm limited to about 102cm. Any...
A bizarre instrument combining a piano and cello has finally been played to an audience more than 500 years after it was dreamt up Leonardo da Vinci. http://i853.photobucket.com/albums/ab92/tiercedepicardiecouk/43d268ab-f737-412d-af41-fb72ca7b018b_zpsea35f666.jpg Da Vinci, the Italian Renaissance g...
Hi Andy, I got a copy of Audacity with it. 'Jackoj' records mp3 performances on his Korg PA3x with one of these and, I have used it on a dozen or so occasions and there doesn't appear to be any issues with the recordings - it is a low cost piece of kit for sure but every bit as good as the 'audio re...
Wotcha Brian, Check this out - a topic on the same subject ;) About the only thing I miss from my Yamaha PSR-S900 that isn't on my Korg Pa600 is the on-board 'audio recorder' ... The Korg does have an excellent recorder but it requires a lot of faffing about replaying the recording through a program...
