what kind of musician is one who doesn't write his own stuff? That's where it all adds up...

I have tried most arrangers, for writing your own songs only the Yamaha cut it, because they have a 'chord track' that the Korg and Roland don't have, which is a shame.
It's basically a track that allows you to precisely write the arrangement in step time.

On the Roland and Korg, you have to record the whole arrangement in real time, which is ridicolous, if you get a wrong chord, or the wrong fill, you have to edit all the instrument parts one by one. On the Yamaha you just replace the chord or the fill with another and the WHOLE backing track will adjust itself accordingly. It also means that you don't have to reharse the whole performance. Just write the arrangement, chords, and melody, and you have a song.

It's a MUCH faster way to write songs. That chord track I am never tired to brag about, it's essential in an arranger keyboard, Korg and Roland take notice, the keyboards are great but we need a CHORD TRACK.

Umm, actually you can do the very same thing on the Korg Pa series.

And this is of course why manuals are supplied with instruments like these.

arranger_yes_pc_no,
So many people do not have a full grasp on the full capabilities of newest the Korg OS.

In backing seq. (Quick record) mode you can record your song. It uses grouped tracks (Chord/Acc, & Kbd/pad) grouping. You record your song...then if you need to change style, performance, tempo, 'CHORD' or style elemnt...you go to 'Step' Backing sequence mode to edit any thing you need to. You do NOT have to re-record the song or any part of the song...you just edit the entrys to change it. You can however re-record if you want. The PA2XPRO also has a full pro level 16 track sequencer for track by track recording / editing.

A song writers dream machine.
The Yamaha method is fine too. ( I had a T2, nothing newer)

As do the Pa588, Pa500 and the Pa800.

Donny,
Yes, +1,
Lots of talent here...please share what you have learned.

How to make music on the arangers sound superb??

Lee S.

Although there a few talented individuals here ...I have learned that this is not the place to share anything as you will be berated beyond belief. instead I prefer in person, or video conferencing, email, or chats to coreposnd and discuss different things help each other one on one..otherwise it's fruitless.

Donny,
OK, I understand...it's a shame.
Lee S.

lee get in touch with me anytime if you wanna talk ok/

I watch the video and I just don't get it... Its way to difficult to make up songs on these PSR's. I try but I just don't think I'll ever be able to do it...
