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,

Ron

Autumn Concerto. Recorded many years ago by Norrie Paramor and his Orchestra. Played in Freestyle on my Tyros 3.

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...

This appears elsewhere on the Forum but should be posted here.

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.

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...

Certainly different

Hi John, Sorry you felt it was beyond you, but you might be surprised at what little jewel of information you could pick up via watching this sort of information. Fortunately after a long musical education when I was younger, I was able to follow Jonny in the video. Yes, perhaps a bit too adventurou...

Following on with your comments, I have had another listen via my Bose speaker and I can hear the bass part much better. Think when it went from 2 in the bar to 4 in the bar was when it gave the impression of taking over :D . I might have played a walking bass line at that part. I sometimes reduce t...

Glad you like it Hugh. Yes, I suppose most can play by ear but only so far as playing the melody line. I have still to meet the person that can play the chord accompaniment for most tunes by ear. Following this video, I now find myself concentrating on listening to the left hand part of melodies. I ...

“ How you look tonight” is the subject of this YouTube video. It takes you through the simple version right to the full cocktail lounge piano version. Now this is for those who would like to improve their piano technique but it is quite a learning curve, so if you only play by ear, then give it a mi...

Same title from me. Very nice version

Regards

Ron

Very well done Hugh. Uptempo is a new thing for you? A winner, if I ever heard one

Regards

Ron

I have not used this complicated piece of kit for a few years now. However, I decided to hook it up and use it again. The dedicated volume pedal has been reassigned for “ Expression “, and I have 2 other Emu pedals plugged in for Sustain and Reverb. Basically the buttons can be assigned to most of t...

Thank you Hugh and Den for the most useful info. I used to do this in the early days with my T3 but that info has been forgotten as I have not played for years. I take your point about how long it could take to correct wrong notes using this method, but it is pretty soul destroying playing the same ...

Brian, Think The problem is solved. Song Creator seems to be where editing can be done. Using a short midi recording and the whole thing sprang into life with the tune playing while displaying all the names of the notes. It certainly will not be easy trying edits on a long song but I now know that i...

Thanks Brian, I was sure it was done via the Tyros. I’ll do a dummy midi recording then see what I can find

Ron

Hi All, I find that after a few run throughs, I can play a tune without any wrong notes. However, on pressing the Record button, that all changes and errors start to creep in. This can mean recording the song over and over. I used to have a facility to edit out these wrong notes either on the Tyros ...

What a revealing and interesting read.

Ron

Hi Brian
Glad you liked it. This was done when in my prime and I really no longer play seriously.

Regards

Ron

I recorded this 10 years ago and have not really done much since.

MFD has now been corrected and reading with normal song titles.

Hi all, So far my Tyros3 seems to be working. However I have noticed that all songs in the Music Finder Database have all changed to Yamaha’s own names. Can anyone supply me any details on sourcing a MF database with correct names of the songs? I have found one source but unsure how old it is so unw...

My Tyros was returned today by the repair person. I will not mention his name as I do not want to be spiteful or tarnish his reputation. It remains to be seen if it is now in a stable condition. I could not even remember where the off/on switch was so not looking to hopeful about actually trying to ...

Hi fellow keyboard players Some of you may recall my posts from last year when I was looking for help for my faulty Tyros3. A repair man popped up on the Internet and he offered to help. He duly called, tested the Tyros and said he would have to take it to his workshop which was in another region of...
