Recording on T3 : Help needed!

It has been a few years since I last recorded anything on my T3 and I thought if I have to self isolate for 3 months, then I could attempt to play my T3 again. However, I have completely forgotten how to make a recording on the keyboard. I have Audacity etc still on my laptop but having read Hugh’s ...

Re: Bagpipes

The trills are called Grace notes and go by the names of Taorluath, Lemluath, the Grip and the Pinkie Birl. The Tyros is good at what it does , but will never be able to fully copy the true sound of the Highland Bagpipes.

Re: Bagpipes

Another of my childhood achievents was to learn to play the bagpipes which takes a fair bit of puff. Playing grace notes is an integral part of a good performance. Listening to a well played jig is a revelation in the use of grace notes. Taorluath, lemluath and pinkie birl all take me back to my ear...

Re: Playing Music with No Music

Hi Hugh, I would not be able to play using those videos. I do not play anything by ear as I spent 10 years as a child having weekly lessons on classical piano music. I can still sight read most popular music and being able to read the bass clef also helped me in my bass playing career. I have always...

An excellent demo of this piece of kit. Obviously not aimed at the amateur keyboardist.

Yamaha Electone MC400

It was on the point of being dumped in a skip. It is in almost new condition but the thing that caught my attention wer...

Re: T4 to NP-30 .. Midi

Hi Fred, These were the instructions that worked for me but as I did this several years ago my memory is a bit vague. Be assured that it does work very well. My 2nd keyboard is a NP11. My split point is set to provide the whole T3 keys for melody over the whole range while the lower keys are for cho...

Re: T4 to NP-30 .. Midi

I have my T3 midi connected to NP11. This works as 2 individual keyboards with the NP11 working as left hand chords/bass and T3 for melody right hand. I am sure their is "Twinset up" article somewhere on the forum's archives.

Re: Brilliant Bb jazz blues comping tutorial

Hi again Brian, I just noticed that sharing of My Jukebox ( old recordings) had been blocked.

Re: Brilliant Bb jazz blues comping tutorial

I really enjoyed that video being an old bass player. It got the juices flowing so much I was tempted to switch on the keyboards after not playing for 18 months. Maybe later .

Re: Windows 10

Windows 10 installed and no problems with it. You just have to move with the times.

Having said that, I still use Windows XP on my Ham Radio computer as it runs loads of software without problems. Updating the OS is not necessary on this PC.

Re: CVP-605 default pedal functions

Could this setting not be saved as part of a Registration? Only a quick fix but possibly you would not want to re-assign this pedal permanently.

Not a bad vocal Jim and well done for the technical guitar playing which will no doubt improve with more practice. I often wish that I had been given a singing voice :(
