I have been looking for some mp3 of the psr 2100 also and found those that Will Stewarts to be very good.Thankyou Will and your playing also complements your good songs.
Many thanks for the comments guys, glad you enjoyed the music. Have just uploaded some of my original songs in mp3 format if anyone is interested. Once again these have been sequenced on the 2000 over the past year and like the previous covers have also been posted as midi files on Joe's PSR Performers pages.
Will, very good original songs and its arrangements. If I may tell something about, there are perhaps, for my ears, too much drums, too much rhythm; it make your songs a little "similar" ones to others because I listen always very similar drums. I know, all your songs are pop music, and Yamaha styles are too much rhytmic and "drummed" but... may be some of your songs would be nicer (less repetitive) mutting one of the two rhythm tracks (or with less volume), have you tried it?.
A little question about: What about copyright of your original songs? How do you know nobody go to take these songs and make them own? Have you these songs registered or something like this?
Cheers

I would thank Will Stewart for putting here the link to his original songs made in PSR2000. Usually, we may listen and download songs played by keyboardists, but not original songs. Will is the first person I know has offered here original songs, and not one or two: a lot more. In my opinion, the best thing to make with an arranger kb is to COMPOSE MUSIC. Will made it, and it sounds very well. Thanks Will
Bluebird ... to be honest I use styles for the biggest majority of my songs and while I will occasionally revoice or alter some of the instrument voices in a style I do tend to leave the drums as they are. Thanks for bringing this to my attention, will give it some thought in my future songs.
Artaher ... when I started playing the PSR it was all cover version I would play. As I got to know the keyboard a bit better I began writing my own songs and found I got more enjoyment from doing so. I agree with you when you say its the best thing to do with these kekboards. I have posted some of my songs in various forums and find some listeners prefer my originals whereas others prefer to listen to songs they recognise. My output is roughly 50/50 these days.
I listened all your songs. I like very much some of them. Usually, I like more songs with less rhythm and drums, you know. For example, I like very much: "One Year On" "New Age Live"
The 2000 piano voices aren't too bad but I don't consider myself a great pianist. Can get away with most of the other instruments but my piano playing still sounds a bit amateurish. Will put a piano ballad on my to do list for the future. Thanks again to you and Don for the interest in my songs
