G'Day,girls and boys,
You are all so wonderful. Thank you for reviving the Technics Forum.
Music, like all art, is expression and interpretation, which has been shown here. I recently played Begin The Beguine for some friends, fist as big band bold ,brassy and fast, then as a soft sensual beguine. The responses were interesting to both interpretations.
Re. the sequencer....I only use Easy Record to hear what i have played, make the necessary adjustments,and store on disc if I like what I hear, or wish to refer back to at a later date. I never use The Sequencer,I would rather spend that time playing, plus I find the technology difficult to master.
I use some of the pads to sometimes fill the content of what I am playing, and 5,6, are an opportunity to move the pages, adjust the seat, scratch my nose etc.whilst still having the moosic playing.
NOW!! how do I assign those other functions to the pads? The manual only tells me I can, not how??????or am I being stupid...again?
I too am a "dots" player, and my earlier organ training was based around variations of style and a lot of the time without rhythm backing, but that is a feature not so good on keyboards unless you are a darn good player. Someone might dispute that, but then I am not always right. Ask "The Gardener".
Question for homework ...Which wise person said "Music, the greatest sensual pleasure without vice"?
