Is about 60mb but very nice quality and already WMV format.

Pump up the volume lol.

Hi all,

Just registered in the forum in this new year 2006 . My name is Josef Xuereb, and i currently own a YAMAHA PSR-1500, but i'm planning to get a T2 in June after exams.

I have watched the Tyros 2 demo by peter baartmans. I remained speechless.

He's great - as most of you said, capable of playing any style, capable of playing all sorts of voices (super articulation in particular - i made a sort of trick and i played the video part of peter playing the concert guitar to my friends with the screen switched off - none of them guessed the sound was coming from a keyboard).

I am trying to watch the video of Michel Voncken at Deinze, but im having difficulty with the connection. I use cable internet (2Mbps currently). Any idea where i can find a downloadable version of it? I need to check out his musette pieces - he's brilliant with them.

Thanks

Oeps, i did it again (lol)

Have recorded the Michel Voncken demo.

For the Newsleecher users i include the link for the NZB
http://rapidshare.de/files/10209413/Tyros-2_Demo_Michel_Vonken.nzb.html

The movie is again in WMV format so no quicktime needed.

I also will upload the movie in RapidShare.
Will be 2 RAR files becouse the upload is only 100mb per file and the movie is about 160mb.

So as soon as it's uploaded i place the links here.

JD

Ok, as promised here are the links for the Michel Voncken Tyros 2 demo via RapidShare.
http://rapidshare.de/files/10211550/Tyros_2_Demo_Michel_Voncken.part1.rar.html
http://rapidshare.de/files/10212205/Tyros_2_Demo_Michel_Voncken.part2.rar.html

Just unrar the files and enjoy.

As i understand these downloads are unlimited so everybody should be able to get them.

Let me know if it works and if you liked it.

JD

Yes, sure he is

But you can se some of his Musette works in the official Yamaha Tyros 2 Movie here. (Right click and save as)

I had already checked that ... a minute or so of some very fine french musette which is not that simple to play. I spent almost four days trying to learn it just by slow-motion playback of the original t2 demo video.

He plays that again in the deinze demo and goes on for what seems to be like 4 or 5 minutes (a must-see for virtuous players). That french musette drives me crazy - it's got all the liveliness with that fast tempo and notes are embellished so nicely.

baartmans is also very very good in his "italo-french" accordion pieces, but for the best of results, i believe that voncken is the man.

PS: im getting a message from rapidshare when downloading voncken's wmv demo - something like "Your ip address is already downloading something" or smthing of the sort.

jd i dont know but maybe reviewing a little the original tyros may give you an idea of the improvements from I to II. I believe you have already checked out all known t2 demos?

Check this guys http://music.yamaha.com/product/tyros2/manual/en_US/tyros2_2.pdf

its the data list that comes with the tyros 2 - contains the full list of voices, styles, megavoice ranges, vh ...

Insted of us all trying to download a poor quality video why not go to YAMAHA UK Website.... http://www.yamaha-europe.com/yamaha_euro...ovies/index.php

Those of us who are still using dialup can't see the Peter Baartmans' quicktime streaming video. I have an idea how someone with highspeed MIGHT be able to help us "less fortunate souls" -- through Screen Capture. QT streaming video is not "recordable." However, there are programs to capture all that occurs in a "selected" rectangular area of one's screen, and save it to various formats.

One such program is CapturePad, found at http://www.capturepad.com/ . While the program only costs $25, it purports to have a FREE 14-day FULL FUNCTIONALITY demo. If I read it right, it would allow capturing the QT video stream (with audio) to AVI format.

A much more sophisticated program to do screen capture is Camtasia Studio at $299, but with a FREE 30-day FULL FUNCTIONALITY demo. It captures audio and video at HIGH QUALITY in a variety of formats. It is available at: http://www.techsmith.com/download/freetrials.asp

THIS TECHNIQUE WILL WORK! I've used Camtasia Studio to "screen capture" portions of a DVD playing on my computer. We're talking smooth full-motion video and high quality audio. It was easy to do, and worked great!

The captured movie could then be posted somewhere for download by interested parties. Or maybe it could be posted to yousendit.com (1GB file-size limit).

Anybody interested in giving it a go?

Jacky-D I managed to get it off the newsgroup you mentioned using Grabit.
Nice video but his playing and presentation isn't a patch on Michel Vonckens in my opinion. I find Voncken far more easier to listen to and got bored of Peter quickly, so fast forwarded through the majority of it.
Here's looking forward to the next Voncken one.
