My one (little?) problem ... My fault! I had pressed the STOP for the Multipad just after the first beat of the next bar. So that's why I had a bar of silence before it came in again. You have to STOP the Multipad a fraction before the end of the bar . So just recording the BASS part for one verse ...

The advantage of setting up a MULTIPAD using Method 2 above (with the CHORD MATCH ON ) is that it will give you the bass pattern in whatever key you play your piece in. The disadvantage is that all the notes you want to hear have to be put in as 'intervals' with C as the root. Takes a bit of working...

Ron, You are right in what you say. The notes to be played for the BASS in that particular script were based on having the MULTIPAD in CHORD MATCH mode. This means the Miultipad will play it's 'pattern of notes' based on the chord you are actually playing at the time . To work in this mode, you have...

Ron, Thanks for that. Yes. you're right. I recorded the bass notes with the MIDI recorder and then used the SCORE function on my Tyros 4 to get those notes put on the stave .. and took a 'screen shot' of them. http://www.ar-group.org/Files/Tyros4Score.jpg Not reading music, I hadn't appreciated how ...

One thought I had was that I have often used a MULTIPAD to add a 'counter melody' to a song I have been playing. So why not create a Multipad for the Bass Player? Here below is how I have done this. When I create my MULTIPAD I need a VOICE set up in R1 . From the BASS section I have chosen LowBass (...

What would a real BASS player play when accompanying you playing your song? When you play a song using a STYLE you have a 'band' that plays along with you, with a drummer, a bass player, and various other instruments like guitars etc. all blending together to make a suitable backing. But let's be c...

Den, This is so useful to know! As I play 'by ear' (ie. by chords and play the melody 'by ear'), I frequently print out the lyrics with chords from the Guitar Guy. http://www.theguitarguy.com/ I'll try just loading the words and chords into the Tyros 4 and play from the Tyros 4 screen. Get rid of al...

JT, You have got the wrong idea about putting pictures into audio.com. You do not have to have them 1200 x 1200 and you do not have to 're-size' any of the pictures you use before you use them. When I use my own pictures, I use them as taken straight off my mobile, which are 3264 x 1836 (and with my...

Hi JT,

Thought the video clips of the little boy and his Mum just about summed up the Title of your song .. "Perfect Love".

Here's another example of listening to various STYLES at the same TEMPO (in this case 68 bpm) and choosing two very different STYLES to use with different parts of the song. (I Can't Help) Falling In Love With You. Of course we all associate this number with Elvis Presley . In my version I have used...

Lovely music; lovely video.

A couple of examples now, putting this into practice. The Young Ones . This starts with the STYLE 60's Pop Guitar from POP & ROCK at 128 bpm (one I was trying out in the DEMO above). Next, it's Bubblegum Pop , another STYLE I tried in the DEMO above. I thought Bubblegum Pop with it's emphasis on...

Another look at Changing STYLES as you play through a song. When you play a song, how do you go about changing the STYLE as you play through it? Or do you just stick to the same backing from beginning to end? Most people, once they have made their minds up which Style they are going to use just sti...

Interesting how the things you alter in the Mixing Console can make a difference to what you are listening to.

Here's an example of REVERB.
Is It True What They Say About Dixie, played by Don Wherly.
Sends shivers down my spine every time I hear it!

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...

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...

Here's another test to find out how 'musical' you are.

I reckon I have a pretty good 'musical ear' .. but some of the tests further on had me really stumped!

Topic continued ... Let's just check first to see if I am playing 'allowed' notes.

Another interesting discovery on YouTube. Johann Sebastian Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D Minor BWV 565 played by organist Hans-André Stamm on the Trost-Organ of the Stadtkirche in Waltershausen, Germany.

Here's Only You played by John Storey ( JohnS ) on his Tyros 5. This is what I had to say about it on audio.com: John. Another brilliant arrangement! There are some wonderful chords in this piece. Right up my street! Particularly liked the organ voice coming in. I have listened to this six times now...
