Hi all,

I just did my instrumental interpretation of "Just The Two Of Us" on a Tyros 2(HD). This was played live to 2 track stereo(in the Ty2).

I used style Classic16Beat. I did not use the harmony button feature. It was recorded as a .wav file in the Ty2. I then converted it to an mp3(192 kbs)using itunes.

No other outside effects, instrumentation or editing was used. This one took me two takes. The first time I went to record I selected the 'wrong" ending for how I wanted to end the tune.

Hope you enjoy!

Excellent job, Chris. If I may make one critical observation - personally I would like to hear a little less of the velocity curves. The piano is very recognizable and i probably would have used it too, but I think a little less on the velocity curve would really mellow that out and give it that Joe Sample / Dave Grusin sound.

Otherwise, very pleasant and exceptionally well done. No need for vocals when you play a song that well.

Beautifully played, Chris...terrific improv.

The Ac.Guitar was a tad distorted, but otherwise a superb rendition of a great song.

Another great song played with a lot of taste; I liked also your choice of sounds. This song should be listened to by all those who criticize the Tyros 2 drums and compare them with -say- Ketron. I have a Midjay and really wish its drums could sound so crisp.

Thanks for taking the time to listen to the song. I appreciate the feedback.

Tony,

I didn't play LH bass. When I'm using an arranger KB, I set it to fingering and play chords.

Thanks again!

Chris
