Mike send me your tune ..you already recorded it as a SMF..If you want I will record the same tracks less your realtime parts[Sax and trumpet],,I will play the leads the way I think they should sound..

If you don't want to do it this way , I can select a Roland style and record it...but it might be interesting to hear the same style..

Sorry if I offended you , but you did ask for comments. I was offering constructive criticism..

So sorry my friend, but I did have a Tyros2 with me for several weeks on my Yamaha sample account.

No "illusion", the T2 is MUCH(or "light years", if you prefer) better at wind voices because of the legato phrasing.

Your recording did not reproduce that type of phrasing which is essential for realistic trumpet, flugelhorn, sax etc.

As I mentioned earlier, the constant re-attacking of the notes is bogus.

As they say,"close, but no cigar."


I can make similar noises on the 3k and save myself the expense of a Tyros1.

No, my friend, I shall wait for the 3k replacement for it surely will have SA voices, and, at a great saving of cash, something, I'm sure, we could all appreciate.


All the best,

Ian

Fran, ALL the parts are realtime parts. There was no Style used. Each track was recorded separately using the Tyros' sequencer i.e. the Live! Grand Piano part, the Bass part, the Flugel Horn part, etc. hence the term "multi-track" song. >> The Drums part was made using the ModernJazzBld Style, but the accompaniment was not used, just the Drum Brush sound with some Drum embellishment notes added manually.

Fran, I also think you should do an original recording not one that has already been recorded for you even if you do give it your own 'take' on it as you say. You could consider it a 'labor of love' if nothing else. Which is not to say that it wouldn't sound great mind you. The G1000 was considered top-of-the-line in its heyday so I for one am very intrigued as to how it will sound if you do decide to end up making a recording. I realize it might take you a while to get it done but I'm in no hurry.

Btw, no offense taken Fran. I wasn't upset by your comments, just calling you on them.

Ian.....good informative post, & makes mucho sense to me.....do whats best for you.
3k, T1, T2, Pa1x, Sd-1, G70, G1000, Genesys, Casio, etc, just make music & be happy doin it.

Fran,

I, too, would like for you to put up a song done on the G-1000 to see how it compares with the T2, T1 and even the 3k.

How about something that would feature the voices that you think are superior, or the equal of the Yammie sounds, and something that was played entirely by you....not a SMF used as a background.

Something using a style would be fine, if you don't want to multitrack it.

I'll be looking forward to hearing you play solo, and outside of the band situation, which is where I heard you earlier.

Come on...let's hear a good one.

Hi Fran.
I agree with Ian, I would love to hear something played live by you or anyone else (no SMF or multitrack) on the G1000.
I still own a G1000 but have to say the T2 is miles ahead of the G1000 IMO. The G1000 is still a great instrument for gigging with but it certainly shows it's age now.

Fran,

I'm anxious to hear your recording and compare the G-1000 with the Tyros...and if it is as good as you say it is.

Did you decide not to a solo MIDI?

Ian
