Great shots Scott. Makes me miss the big city.
As for the SD5's riff feature, I believe it was the PSR 5700 that had something similar.

wow . . . didn't realize this. I guess I jumped on to the arranger keyboard bandwagon too late in the game to have seen/played the PSR5700. Wonder why Yamaha removed this feature in later arrangers?


If you don't know I can tell you that you can adjust the reverb volumen.


Hi Neils: Yes, please share 'how to' adjust the G70's 'overall' reverb volume. If this is possible without having to turn the reverb down for each instrument patch individually, and Roland would also update their chord recognition table to recognize the following rootless style 'chord voicings' (and in all 12 keys of course):

F1 - C2 - E2: Dm9
F1 - B1 - E2: G13
E1 - A1 - D2: C69
E1 - Bb1 - D2: C9

I'd then seriously re-consider the G70 for "studio" work, especially for the G70's terrific key feel & intuitive OS navigation. - Scott

Really nice website, Scott...did you do it?

Yep, of course . . . who else? - Scott

The yamaha model which featured this solo mode actually played a bunch of pre programmed solo riffs. I think it was not used after this model because it always played the same solo based on the key you were in and it got too busy within the accomp for most people.
AJ would have to explain this better but my take on the SD5 was that it just added more flavor to the actual style and doesn't try to solo over it but rather add some extra tracks and get a little more excitment out of the style. It was interesting to note that by just playing with different velocities on the keys, you could have more tracks play within the styles, sometimes adding horn stabs or Organ parts, etc. Again, only a few of the styles AJ demo'd had this riff feature. This was a prototype keyboard and the units when they ship will have lots of these "riff" styles pre loaded.
