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...

Here's another song where I have 'jumped across' an R3 SPLIT POINT. I Love You Because . Not quite the chords on any of the sheets of music I have. I have played it in C and have put in a D7 chord before the G7 in the Verse. Have used four STYLES; and made two SPLIT POINTS so I can play an R3 as a '...

Having discovered how I could alter the pitch for R1, R2 and R3 on my Tyros 4, I thought I would take a leaf out of Yamaha's book and see how much of a difference it would make with the sound if I 'upped' the pitch of a couple of instruments by +6 . In this piece ( It's Raining In My Heart ) I have ...

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, You're quite right in your observations. And the clue, too, is in the TITLE of the topic .. Do you include a VOICE with your STYLE? This was played on my AR80, and before I even had a keyboard (I have a Tyros 4 as well now). On an organ you have an UPPER manual and a LOWER manual and you can ...

As I was saying that a MIDI will only play with sounds it can access on a soundcard (and therefore will only be heard as originally intended in the device it was recorded on), let's try a little experiment. Below is a song played by Den .. Snow Waltz . Den makes his recordings as MIDI files, and he ...

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 . Using this feature you can opt to exceed/not exceed the clipping point. The whole point of NORMALIZE is that you increase the volume...

JT, I have really upset Den by saying to you NOT to record in MIDI. Den says that when you have bought an expensive Arranger Keyboard then you should make full use of it and do some 'arranging' .. like changing volumes, or voices .. or whatever. You can change absolutely anything you had set up in y...

Thanks for that, John. So probably the reason why I could hear that C chord in the post above as being 'out of tune' was because of the 'third' rather than the 'fifth'. I have done a Google Search for ' What frequency is a perfect third ' and it has come up with: Major third frequency. The major thi...

JT, When you loaded your song into Audacity you were looking for the wrong words for what you wanted to do. In fact, it was for you that I had put up a topic about this, using as an example your recording of White Horse Inn . There were several things I did with that, and one of them was upping the ...

Well, isn't it strange how when you are just dabbling about looking at previous posts in the Forum (and not looking for anything in particular) you come across something relevant to what you are discussing! In this case I have come across a post put up by SysExJohn in April 2015 on this very subject...

Wonderful bit of guitar work played by Ron Fraser on Tyros 3.

There is more here on the concepts behind how we arrived at the way we 'tune' our pianos and keyboards in the Western world.

I'm sure that all of us who play keyboards are aware that the notes we play have certain 'frequencies', and the frequencies form the melodies and harmonies of what we hear. When tuning an orchestra, the note the various instruments are tuned to is A = 440Hz , and our keyboards are set to A = 440Hz s...

Thanks you two for taking an interest and posting a Reply. There is one more thing worth mentioning when using Audacity to make adjustments to a recording you have done. When you press the 'record' button on your keyboard, how long do you wait before you press your first chord/note? I asked Den abou...

Continuing this topic ... Listening to the end of this recording you will have been aware that at the end, the STOP button has been pressed too early .. which has resulted in a 'cut off' leaving the listener 'up in the air'. This can be rectified by getting Audacity to Fade Out at the end. First, l...

Another TEST to find out if you are TONE DEAF. It's similar to the one I had posted earlier .. but 15 questions this time.

Another useful thing for me when they know what I do. Take an on-line Tesco shop. I have done a "Click & Collect" for tomorrow. There are some goods where I prefer to go into the store so I can choose what I want eg. fresh fruit and veg. But there are other things which I would not be ...

Hi JT, You said originally that you couldn't see the 'triangular icons', but you obviously can as you have clicked on one and come up with what you are supposed to see .. a string of computer code. And you have clicked on Copy , which has copied it to your clipboard (the computer's memory). And now ...

Does what you see affect what you hear? I have asked this questions many times after watching a stage production of Oliver at the Theatre Royal in Bath.

Den, There are some things where tracking you and knowing what you are doing is of benefit. My daughter said to me to make sure that I always have LOCATION switched on on my mobile.

Two of the most talented organists we have today. Tony Stace and Andrew Nix. They have been to our Weston-super-Mare Organ & Keyboard Club several times. Both are brilliant players and entertainers.

John, Some interesting comments there. I presume there is an AUDIO recorder. Does this record in WAV or MP3? As far as MIDI is concerned, I never think of an organ as an 'Arranger Keyboard'. An organ is played 'live', 'as an organ'. If you wanted to MULTITRACK your performance (ie. use the MIDI RECO...
