Are Tyros styles richer?, are Roland styles more varied? are Tyros sounds warmer? is piano voice better in Roland? ...
Hi tracknet,
normally I refuse to answer those questions. But let me try to say why:
To play with a solo sound, for instance a Tenor sax, witch sample does makes me feel
sound like Stan Getz or perhaps more like Zoot Sims? It's depending using the initial touch,
the after touch and the control lever.The more I understand handle this technics the
more I will profit. Another musician with an other understanding of Tenor sax sound, perhaps
a fan of Sonny Rollins, will come to other results. Another example: I like to play waltzes
composed by Johann Strauß. For that I use a warm ensemble string sound. Normally I get it
with three upper parts using different voices. Testing some variety suddenly i find a better
combination with the other instrument by chance. Shell I make up my minds that way?
Now my comment to the piano(s). At the first time I had the feeling G-70 favourite Fantom X
piano sounds a little bit dull to me. But instead of Roland standard effect I use the anhancer.
That has make the sound more brilliant. But I can say: I'm not an expert to give an judgement
in piano sounds. Some words about the styles. I think a lot of feeling are build by using the
intros. That is very well known by the programers. But this says nothing about the normal
variations of a style. It is my feeling that a lot of the styles of both instruments are boring.
But some new composed styles makes me satisfy. My feeling is that new styles using guitars
Roland has some advantage. All over Yamaha's wins. Only my own feeling!
