VERY nice work! I really enjoyed that!

Hey Scott,

Thanks for the Kudo's. I appreciate it. Like I mentioned when we talked on the phone, I used the hard drive for some simple overdubs. As it appears, it worked out pretty well and encourage anyone who has not tried it yet, to give it a shot.

Chony,
Thanks for the accolade.
Your very kind.

Hello Dennis,

Thanks for the kind words, but the Tyros2 is really the star. I wish I could play live all the time like the way the songs play back! It took over 20 takes to get the lead guitar track down on Peggy Sue. On most of the others, I just played in time along with the smf, making mistakes, and correcting them in a sequencer. Adjusting velocities seems to also bring out the SA voice's individual characteristics. My songs are really recorded or sequenced midi that is later edited. The final midi is then played on the Tyros2 and recorded to WAV via internal hard drive. This is so much fun!! -charley

Charley.....Your making Music & Making yourself happy & others too, thats what it all about baby!!!

Ya know, this is one of the things I love about our instruments. The ability to do different things. I like to play live with the auto accompaniment. However, I also like to layer multiple instruments into the song as well. I like the way we can achieve this as well. Rather it be with midi multi-tracking or using the onboard harddisk recorder. Anyway you decide to play, its just great to be able to create something from nothing. I appreciate everyone who does this and would encourage all to share their personal creations on this website. Please post your own original sounds and songs for all of us to draw inspiration for our own creativity.

Best regards,

I just checked my EQ and compression, and believe it or not my compressor is off, and my EQ is a simple Disco smile with a dimple on the bass...

Here is a song I recorded today on my Tyros that I entitled "Memories" and it is an original composition. I know this is a thread for T2 songs but if it's any consolation I used a T2 Style.

Here is Memories .

Btw, I enjoyed the Tyros2 songs within this thread and as I expected the SA Tenor Sax on Two Nuts song was a standout. I also liked the guitar sounds of the songs, though I'm not sure any of them were SA guitars.

PS: It makes no sense for me to get a T2 unless Yamaha makes a 76 key version. As it is I feel the Tyros stands with the best of them including the Tyros2. The reason I'm looking for 76 keys in my next Arranger is I want to be able to comp Bass chords and sounds with a fuller, wider range of sound using my left hand. Also, with 76 keys I will be able to go higher with my right hand with chords and the melody, circumventing the Octave switch that is on my Tyros, which will be a relief and also hassle free in a Live situation.

If Yamaha makes a 76 key Tyros2 or T3 I will definitely consider getting one. For now I'm content with the Tyros.

Best regards,
Mike

Mike,
I finaly got a chance to listen to your song ...nice job, great sound.....made me think of the Herb Albert's song "RISE"
Thanx for sharing!

Heres a Tyros song site I found

Heres another great country Tyros 2 song I found on the PK Owner site posted by Luffe

"Hi.

I am the new Kid on the block in uploading songs. I thought I would put in a
Country Song as my first contribution. The song is made entirely on Tyros 2 and
for backing vocals I've used the built in VH which does not beat real backing
vocals yet IMO. I usually do the backing vocals myself, but sometimes when
time is short I use the Vocal Harmonizer.

Hope you like it anyway. You find the song here:
