This formula will eventually give you an idea of which chord will fit the melody. However you will be restricted to simple chords in the form of I IV V with a relevant minor. It will not tell you if it needs a diminished chord, maj7 chord, a sus4 chord, a b5 chord , a 9th chord, 13th chord, etc, etc...

Another fine article. I have often thought of improving styles or even making new ones for a tune where no style is available.
However, life is too short unfortunately.

This goes back to my years of exceedingly slow broadband 1.4 Mbps which made downloading sometimes impossible. I now have 300 Mbps but still stick to my original plan. It is very simple to do.

Digital sheet music to read from rather than the 'paper' version. I don't know how many members on the TDP Forum use music for playing, but I have found that my setup really simplifies using music for playing on the Tyros. I use my iPad almost exclusively for displaying printed music sheets unless ...

I too use a tablet (iPad) to store my music and need the 'dots' in front of me to play anything ! And I too need to bring the iPad closer in order to see the music more clearly. This is what my Tyros 3 setup used to look like when I played from 'paper' music: http://www.ar-group.org/Files/RonsMusic1...

It is certainly different.

Ron

I have now progressed to full fibre into my house. Right now download was 168 Mbps and upload 55 Mbps. What a difference after years of 1.4 Mbps download.

Ron

Thanks for the explanation Den, but the Button Box as it is known in Scotland, will always remain a mystery to me.
Brandon is a fine player of this instrument. He smiles while Jimmie Shand never did.

Ron

Den, Here is Brandon McPhee playing his button accordion. BRANDON McPHEE - “REEL PLAYING' Scottish Music dptQYshIctM When the advert appears, click the X in the top right hand corner of the rectangle to remove it. He certainly makes it look as though this instrument is easy to play! Ron

To any members trying to use links to my musical posts please note you will be unsuccessful. My complete 10 years of recordings has been deleted from my Box account by parties unknown. Has this happened to anyone else? I do have a backup of my recordings but if I upload these back to Box, all the l...

Another excellent article Hugh. This should be a great help to the less IT savvy folks out there. This software is still under development so improvements should be on the cards.

I have used Harmony/Echo on a couple of pieces I have played recently trying to follow Hugh's info in his articles on using Harmony/Echo, above. Who can I turn to . I have used a simple Bossa style for this. The first part of the song is Flute using Harmony/Echo , Standard Duet . https://app.box.com...

Yes, A minor is the original key. In the mid section it changes briefly into C major and F major. And NO, I do not have perfect pitch so I had to Google the answer .

Ron

Amazing authentic sound….just about. Few more Grace notes would add more realism. Especially like the sound of the bag springing into life right at the start

Ron

Excellent work Hugh. It would be nice to know if forum members ever read and make use of all your info. I certainly do

Ron

This is very recognisable in some of Mozart’s compositions.

A very interesting article Hugh. To be perfectly honest, until recently I had completely forgotten about the Harmony/Echo button. Someone mentioned it in a post I think and I said “ wonder what that is”. I had to search the keyboard to find it. What a very useful function it is and does away with th...

We have discussed this. Hugh and I would make the point that Yamaha have tried very hard in sampling the various instruments to make them sound realistic. That is why I try and make my playing of some instruments sound as realistic as I can. On woodwind or brass instruments this is easily done by ta...

Do not recall ever thanking you for doing this video. Much appreciated,

Ed Sheeran's "Perfect". Although I liked it when I first heard it, as soon as I started playing it and realised how basic and repetitive the chords were I wasn't too keen on the song .. yet strangely it is growing on me and I now love listening to my playing of it. qUdqS87n-fo When the adv...

Hi Hugh

Just listened to your interview with Ian Wolstenholme. You came over very well and as I have told you previously, you do a marvellous job for the TDP Forum. Congrats

Regards

Ron

I wish ! NO, it is 1.5mbps download. Carrier pigeon might be faster

Ron

Update: Problem solved successfully and most likely was due to me not pushing 1 button on the Tyros.

Thanks again to Hugh for all his input on this issue.

Regards

Ron

Hugh kindly mailed me a floppy disk containing the MFD file for the Tyros 1. Unfortunately this did not work and I was unable to replace the current file with the “corrected” file. I am assuming there is possibly a fault with the file or even with the floppy drive. It is now an old machine. If anyon...

Hi all I have a friend who still has his original Tyros 1. Unfortunately it has had a system reset and the Music Finder data has reverted to the original look a like titles. He no longer has his floppy disc with the real song titles, so stuck. I do not know anyone who is still using a computer with ...

I do not think there can be many people using the Yamaha MFC10 foot controller and there is already info online on how to set it up. But this might be useful to someone out there. I have had one for years and only recently decided to fire it up especially after Hugh discussing the use of expression ...

It's My Party ( .. and I'll Cry If I Want To) bZW1KNOHvjI Comment from Hugh, who put the video together for me: Ron, Here is the YouTube video I promised to do for you. Thought it would be easy to do a video for it .. just find some 'party' clips! Until I read the words of the song! Nobody knows wh...

I have a blistering 1.5 Mbps. Wow! Open reach did lay fibre cable past my house last month. They are only doing this prior to removing my overhead copper telephone cable. But that is now on hold as there have been concerns raised about folk not having any telephone for emergency use when the old lin...
