Posted this one on my forum, but thought I'd copy here for those who might have missed it. This doodle has become somewhat longer than originally planned... one of those I couldn't resist adding a bit more each time I returned to it! I decided though to showcase a few of the SA voices and new sounds on the Tyros 2, and I haven't used a style for this one. Instead all recorded on the T2 sequencer.

It begins with the new Power Live Drums Kit 1, played live on the keys for a dynamic and lively sound. Then some SA warm guitar for rhythm, SA trumpet and SA brass shakes and falls, electric bass and SA sax. The funky riff continues and then moves to a nylon guitar riff, with a bit of Live! Bright Piano, bass and brass. Timing was a bit quirky on this bit!!

This gradually evolves into SA warm electric guitar, movie strings and SA saxophone. There's even a bit of SA Golden Trumpet! You can also hear a tad of a Custom voice (live! vocal) in the background.

Then we change pace with the SA flamenco guitar, SA golden trumpet, followed by Live! Power Drums kit 1 and then a SA string fall and SA strings to continue in a mexican/spanish style riff. Finally the SA bowing strings (using the mod wheel to move from gentle bowing to tremelo strings) and the fabulous sweet cornet to finish.

If you've got a T2 or are just curious to try the midi on your keyboard, download it from this post. If you want to hear how it sounds on the T2, complete with EQ'ing and using the Live settings of the built in compressor, as encoded direct from the internal hdd, download the high quality wma below. Please note though its nearly 4MB in size!

Tyros 2 owners can download the midifile from my forum.

Enjoy!

Simon

EXCELLENT!!!!!!!

This post deserves a standing ovation.

The sounds reminded me a lot of a Chuck Mangione type of composition. (Eg. Children of Sanchez). Except your sounds are more realistic than the real thing.

Simon , that was great...maybe good enough, that Roland users paid attention..
The guitar work and brass were super...Fran

Hmmm, I can see me leaning more toward the Tyros 2 every day as my live performance machine and your demo certainly highlites some of the finer points. Nice job Simon, very nice.

I hear some very noticeable improvements from the Yamaha arrangers I'm accustomed to, particularly in the drums and the bass sounds. The guitar lead voice is very good as well.

I don't think anyone ( manufacturer wise ) has quite nailed down sax and horn sounds yet, including those that supply mega sized samples, simply because it's so difficult to do. I suspect it's going to require something along the lines of a VL technology and some super multisamples to have a chance at nailing it down to the point that it is practically indistinguishable from the real thing.

Wow, thanks Simon, that was awesome!!!!!

Thanks for that Simon, like the style. BTW, are there scat voices in the Tyros 2?

Hello Simon
Sounds great, it reminded me of the old Spaghetti Westerns that were out in the 60s & 70s, (A Fistful of Dollars etc) which always added that little edge above the background. (That’s showing my age)

A bit mumble jumble at first, but the intention was to showcase the instruments. I was impressed by the drums, a feature that has always turned me off on PSR's of the past. The guitars are incredible (you have guitar keyboard playing down!), as with the trumpet. I still believe the sax has serious competition from my "lowly" $800 EXR7S, as would the pianos, organs, strings and overall styles. Thanks for sharing.

Pretty darn good, my kind of music. I don't understand what you mean about the eq stuff at the bottom of your post. Actually, I've done the initializing thing from another thread and that has helped improve the overall sounds. Even so, you might be getting a bit better sound out of your T2. Any advice for master eq (I've tried it by ear but I think it could be better). Thanks, DerfM
