I have two days on my calendar next week that don't have either a music job (gig) or writing assignment penciled in, something rare these days. Therefore, I decided to begin work on another gig disk, but before I start wading through the style-file achives, I wanted some input from everyone on the type of music they prefer. I'm an old guy (62), therefore, I really enjoy a lot of the big-band, swing, jazz, doo-wap, 60s, and 70s stuff. I'm open to any and all suggestions and hope to hear from many of you before I begin #5. You can either post your suggestions here, or email them to me at gary_diamond@hotmail.com

Don't be bashful! I really do need your input.

Cheers,

Gary

I second Donny's idea!
:-))

I've been thinking along the same lines, and fortunately, I have a boat load of great latin styles. Hope to have it done sometime next week.

Thanks guys,

Gary

I'll see what I can round up for you Andy.

Thanks,

Gary

How about jazz ballads and blues
Thanks,

------------------

I'll probably dedicate #6 to big band, jazz and blues styles Dave. By popular demand, it looks like #5 will be just latin.

Thanks for input,

Gary

Well, I'm halfway there on #5. Put 16 songs on the disk last night and hit the sheets about 1 a.m.. with luck, I should be able to finish the disk by tomorrow night, then it will take a day or two to get it posted.

Cheers,

Gary

Gary ... This is quite an effort on your part and I'm sure it is much appreciated ... Can these styles be converted for use on a kn6000? ... if so I will ESPECIALLY look forward to #6, with some jazz and blues styles... perhaps one with a variation or fill that would give us the 'da-da-dum and 4 beat break found in just about every blues song ever written ..... also, any 'contemporary' or 'smooth jazz' styles in that mix?.....
t.

Because the styles are generic .sty style files, they should work on nearly any keyboard that can read .sty styles. However, some of the folks with psr-740 yamaha keyboards had to remove the One Touch Settings (OTS) in order to make them work and prevent keyboard lock-up. I've been told they worked well with both the Tyros and 9000 pro with no modifications. The best way to tell is download disks 1 through 4 from www.psrtutorial.com and give them a try. Some of those files were from my archives which also included Technics.

Good Luck,

Gary

Well guys and gals, Gig Disk #5 is ready to download at www.psrtutorial.com and I'll be starting on #6 in about two weeks. By popular demand, #6 will be comprised of big band, swing and jazz songs. Enjoy #5 and let me know if you have some favorites songs for the next disk.
