Wotcha guys, During the late 70's and early 80's I used go to many 'open air' summer concerts, my favourite venue was Kenwood House in North London. I would regularly go when Christopher Hogwood and the AAM were performing - always superb concerts - they were enjoyed whilst drinking ice cold gin &am...
Hello Ken, Here are a couple of video tutorials on the Yamaha registration memory and style creator ... the model of the keyboard may differ from yours but the procedure should be the same :wink: http://tierce-de-picardie.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=131&t=283 http://tierce-de-picardie.co.uk/viewtopic....
Personally I have never liked him, his rudeness and arrogance irritates the hell out of me. As for him being sacked ... the BBC made the right decision - to do anything less would be to endorse workplace violence. Some people will say that this incident has been blown out of proportion - but the man...
Hiya Ken, I'm probably not the best person to ask for help on up to date instruments but I seem to remember doing something like this on my S900 .... have a go at this ... Go to Function>Utility>System Reset Tab and click the System Setup button (F). Tab to User and depress Save to a new Name (e.g. ...

I'm limited to about 102cm. Any...
A bizarre instrument combining a piano and cello has finally been played to an audience more than 500 years after it was dreamt up Leonardo da Vinci. http://i853.photobucket.com/albums/ab92/tiercedepicardiecouk/43d268ab-f737-412d-af41-fb72ca7b018b_zpsea35f666.jpg Da Vinci, the Italian Renaissance g...
Hi Andy, I got a copy of Audacity with it. 'Jackoj' records mp3 performances on his Korg PA3x with one of these and, I have used it on a dozen or so occasions and there doesn't appear to be any issues with the recordings - it is a low cost piece of kit for sure but every bit as good as the 'audio re...
Wotcha Brian, Check this out - a topic on the same subject ;) About the only thing I miss from my Yamaha PSR-S900 that isn't on my Korg Pa600 is the on-board 'audio recorder' ... The Korg does have an excellent recorder but it requires a lot of faffing about replaying the recording through a program...
Hiya Keith, Looks like you have a very organized music room/studio going there - love the rail hiding the cables :D I can imagine you locking yourself away in there for hours on end ... well, I would, that's for sure, especially with the Roland AT800 8) Thanks for posting and sharing your pictures w...
And, what's the betting, that the pillocks leave the mess there for someone else to clear up? Eh! What about this lot .... it's criminal; three generations of Lowrey Organs have been butchered and dumped in a car park :( The Contempo 80 (left in top photo) was a super organ to play ... a superb sou...
Wotcha folks, I'm looking for A Technics KN7000 that hasn't been thrashed ... if anyone has one lying around there is cash waiting if the price is right :wink: Also, I friend of mine is looking for a Technics KN2600 to add to his Technics collection. Just send detail to me via a PM - many thanks :D ...
The Bemore Music System (BMS) gives you endless possibilities Most instruments are ‘locked’ systems. You buy an instrument with certain features and that will never change. The Bemore Music System gives you the opportunity to update the instrument with new functionality, styles, sounds, and so on. ...
Hiya Bill, I have thoroughly enjoyed watching this video this evening ... I have never really been a Franz Lambert fan in the past but after watching him play the Wersi and Lowrey I will be keeping an ear open for more performances from the man ... it's also a real treat to hear the Lowrey Liberty b...
Wotcha folks, Have been down in the doldrums of late and not been very active on the forums but I hope that the new year will bring some 'cheer' my way and help me to regain my enthusiasm for organs, keyboards and the site in general :) For those of you who have supported the boards with music posts...
Not quite the miracle it seems Brian, Amazon and Royal Mail now have a "special financial arrangement" with regards to Amazon's deliveries ... just shows what can be done when you've got the 'cash to splash' by some serious tax avoidance ... £2.4m in Corporation Tax on £4.2bn 2012/13 :? Hm...
Hello Roy, I had this problem some time ago ... just make sure that the Lame version you have downloaded is compatible with the version of Audacity that you are running .... The latest version of Audacity is 2.0.6 so you should be looking at downloading the Lame v3.99.3 To use Lame with Audacity, yo...
i have to say that you have taken away from me the feelings of pleasure i had doing the song. after all mate, this song has been and still is performed by so many artists, to refrain from doing it IMO would be senseless to banish it to room 101. Wotcha John ... :? :? I consider myself reprimanded o...
Very very nice ... a new one on me too but a super tune for Christmas - I enjoyed your performance and your video Michael, expertly put together indeed - well done
A lovely performance of this Johnny Mathis song ... the great style gave it a nice beat whilst helping to retain it's 'christmasy' feel, very enjoyable
Hiya John, I have been waiting for this tune to hit the boards :D Some good sounds and performed nicely mate .... although the style you chose went a long way to making it more enjoyable, there is sadly, not a lot one can do with this tune to improve on it's 'likability' :lol: :lol: :lol: The piece,...
The Bemore Genesis XS-2 You may recall a couple of months ago Bill (abacus) posted details of a completely new developed organ ... well, 2015 is fast approaching and Bemore Instruments promise us the dog's wotzits in the newly designed Gensis XS-2 organ ... Some new demos of what we can expect from...

Thank you all for your kind words, hopefully in the coming new year I'll get back with a keyboard that I'm happy with and started turning out some fresh stuff - sadly, until then it will have to be from my old recordings
