Finally getting my Tyros 4 back which was sent away to be repaired, then the work starts to restore my settings etc.

Then to decided Tyros or Korg on the bottom deck.

Hi James,

The Tyros 4 is a great keyboard, with some great Styles .. and fantastic voicing. So happy that you are getting it back. Looking forward to hearing you play something on it.

Hugh

It's a great combination with the Pa700

Hi James,

I'm sure. Tell me, when you hook the two up together, which one does the MP3 recording? Or do you have to use a 'mixer' and record externally from both keyboards to eg. Audacity? I never have fathomed out how this works.

And most importantly, is your final MP3 recording in STEREO?

Hugh

I've not actually recorded both together as yet, the Tyros only records the Mic input not sure about the Korg. Im sure it will record the input from the mic also.



Will have to look into that one.

James,

I had thought that maybe the two instruments could be joined together via MIDI? Then whatever audio output you had for listening to the two keyboards being played together would be in stereo, and would be the place to get your audio recording from.

There is no point in using a MIC Input for anything other than singing, as it will only be recording in MONO. Any music channelled through a MIC Input would lose all it's 'panning' of instruments (instruments sounding more to the left or more to the right in the mix) .. or in other words, the stereo sound you had would be lost. That may be OK for the 'general listener', but for a musician you would lose the 'richness' of the music you play.

The comments above are with regard to audio recording. If you have two independent audio stereo sources (eg. output from your Tyros 4 and output from your Korg) you would need a 'mixer' with two stereo inputs (and one stereo output) to make a proper stereo recording.

Would appreciate any comments from Members who do have two keyboards and have them linked together. How do you make recordings?

Hugh

My Tyros 4 is now back.
