Guys,

I'd love to visit one of Michel Vonken's workshops.

Not impressed by P. Baartman's demo of YPG-625. He talked too much and played too little - probably because there is not much interesting to show. Great piano sound, few new styles.

I respect these guys for their effort to present Yamaha's new gear. Wish them good luck

Regards,
George

Although I am a G70 player I must say these demos are super and the Tyros2 is a great instrument.This real superb keyboardplaying.

What chord fingering mode does he use?????

Very hard to say,

I think he uses fingered mode but he changes chords so fast without moving his left hand as much as possible so its hard to even see which keys he is hitting.

its annoying how in this video they turn the chord display off.

Hello Nick.............Thanks for the reply. I too was annoyed to see no chord display. Michel seems to change chords several times each measure! I think it is full fingered, but also thought it might be AI mode?? Does he ever tour the USA?? It would be great to meet him. -charley

I would just want to see him play something and show you in slow motion what chords he hits...

I wonder how much he has to practice in order to play for a full 15 minute video and not make one single error.

even after being so use to playing certain songs over and over, you still hit a wrong note or hit double keys here or there when your playing something as fast as he is...

alot of the time the songs he plays are quite simple.. but its the chords he uses.. and he uses sooo many chords inbetween chords if u get me...its like he is manually controlling the bass notes one by one...

Gday Nick,

If I were hard to please I'd say he made more than one error - just give a close listen to the guitar solo of 'Sultans of Swings' - many notes are out of time, or just deafly played.

I know this pass before the large audience but wouldn't please any of my piano teachers.


However, I agree with you. He plays with ease.

I also liked the TVA voices he was demonstrating, they would sound great with the onboard slager styles. Are these voices available now, or are they in the upcoming release of new T2 goodies I've seen mentioned here? -charley

Put whatever keyboard you like in his hands, and I'll bet it sounds great regardless to what brand!

Happy Playing
GJ

Hi Charley,

the voices are available as a package deal when you by a new T2 in Germany only.

No seperate sale at this point.
Sorry.
