Still using a Piano sound but this time I added different Theatre Organ Sounds to what the Pa700 has.

It wasn't so much the performance more the sound combinations.

Both Piano and Organ as Hugh suggested, but differant organs.

So following the discussion about using a Piano and Organ going well together I created a couple of registrations and recorded a couple of demos. The first is Danny Boy this uses an acoustic piano sound and jazz organ, with a choir sound. I changed the velocity setting of the Chior sound so it only ...

Sounds That Work Well With Electric Piano Sounds ?

Yes magazines are great until you reach a problem. It might be something really simple but to you its another bit of a jigsaw. It's also good to have an idea of which sounds to mix in your pallete to get the sound you want. At the same time to think out the box and keep things sounding fresh. I'm al...

I will try to create some demos on my Korg although they may need tweaking for better effect.

When panning the sounds to give the impression of space how much do you use to separate?

Here are some of my favourites I use on my Genos and Ketron but would probably work with most keyboard setups , Piano and strings, saxes and brass, saxes and clarinet. Vibes and jazz guitar, organ and brass , strings and Glockenspiel, theatre organ and glockenspiel. For classical.....bassoon and pic...

Another response I had My trick to layering strings with piano  - increase the release of the strings - make damper pedal only work for the piano part. But I dont think Kurt wants to hear the obvious combinations.. Piano works good with several instruments.. Try with some percussion for example Or a...

It's good to keep music interesting.

On the Pa700 you can split your keyboard for styles as per other arrangers. You can also setup different split points for the 3 upper sounds.

Sounds that work well with piano sounds ?

I wonder what voice / sound combinations members here have created that work well together ?

That's very useful

First thing we should ask is 'What is a Keyboard Set?'

A Keyboard Set is a snapshot of Sounds, Effects, Splits, Volume. Four Keyboard Sets can be used in a style, or songbook entry. Or you can use them on the fly if you wish.

Ive started a workshop on creating Keyboard Sets on Korg Arrangers on my Facebook Group, but thought I'd run it in parallel on here.

If you've come over from Yamaha Arrangers the Keyboard Set is equivalent to a Registration. 4 Keyboard sets can be applied to a style or Songbook Entry.

As time has moved on with my Korg Pa700 and dug deeper I've found more features that you can use to add to your keyboard sets. You can add multiple splits on your upper sounds (So you can for example have a straight piano sound on 2 octaves and piano and strings on another 2 octaves). You can also s...

Yes the Korg Arrangers have subtractive synths built in.

I've been delving into sound design / editing on both my Korg Pa700, and Tyros 4. It's quite a deep subject but can change the characteristics of a sounds. I've been quite impressed by the set created for the Korg Pa4x http://www.quirobinez.nl/ It shows how a flat sound can be turned into something ...

When working out what sounds to play with a song what combinations of sounds do you use. Ie a ballad starting off quiet and building to a big finish.

I've seen some people use there own one touch setting for the sounds and then Musicfinder for the song.

When you purchase a new or used keyboard how much time do you spend tweaking it ? In terms of sounds, styles, Eq and other features.

Im wondering if anyone else has had issues with Tyros 4 buttons not working, and the lights under the buttons dulling on power up? Red lights showing, but not the blue or white for the music finder ?

Is it possible to store the ots link and auto fill settings in a registration so when you power the Tyros 4 up you have the same settings every time.

I've recently got a Tyros 4 and Korg Pa700 I'm not so keen on the 1 bank per song, as far as the Tyros 4 goes I've been going through the styles and storing any one touch settings I like as a registration. As far as my song setups I've been using the music finder. My intention is to store sounds I l...

How do you copy entries from one registration bank to another ?
Eg button 4 on bank 1 to button 2 on bank 2

I've got some sound files for Tyros 4. Would someone like to explain how to use them ?

Some are in .vce format others are .uvn format ?

What volume levels do you have your style keyboard pad mic etc do you have and how do you keep the levels constant between registrations ?

When you have so many sounds at your finger tips do you find Yourself homing in on the same sounds ?

What process do you go through when creating registrations for your songs ? How many registrations do you use per song ?

It's great bit of a learning curve but a step up from the Pa50sd

Recently upgraded to both

I use the toolkit it's good for copying styles from one bank to another.

Cool thanks think I'm becoming a keyboard hoarder lol.

Got chance of reuniting myself with a psr9000 having owned one some years back which got broke Beyond repair. Is there anyone who still owns one or did own one have any psr9000 styles?
