It's not completely finished yet, but my Tyros2 site is getting in shape (the site is running since jan' 2003, then it was a PSR-9000, 9000 Pro, PSR-2100 and PSR-3000 site). The first new photo's are visible, and the first 2 Tyros2 recordings are there as well. Also the equipment page is making great progress.

The coming day's (if not weeks!) the site must be completely turned to the Tyros2, but take a look once in a while at http://www.lacobo.com

Hey Bert - nice demos especially for the amount of time you have been playing and some of the styles you have used are a little different from what people normally use !!!

I like the Z2200 satellite speaker stands. What did you use to make them?

You have a fine selection of colourful clothes as well

Nice website

Regards - Keith

Hi Keith,

Thanks for the compliments. And yes, I like to use surprising styles for common songs. This makes them sound like new :-)
The speaker stands are a combination of the normal small feet of the Z2200 and Vogel's speaker stands.

Hello Bert

Just hoping that you may be able give me the answer to a problem I have.. I see that you use the MFC10 footpedals as I do on my T2. Almost everything works fine except for the foot pedal which should control the volume as I see you seem to be able to do.

Most registrations include varying volume settings for the four voices and the style.
As soon as I touch the volume pedal all volumes are immediately reset to 127 and then fluctuate between 0 and 127 as the pedal is used. Change to another registration and the same thing happens over again ad infinitum. This is obviously, to me anyway, totally unsatisfactory as it removes all subtlety from ones playing with the style completely dominating the procedings.

Have you been able to overcome this?

All the best,
Trevor

Good stuff I really enjoyed your work

Thanks for sharing.

Very nice!!

Though I couldn't tell if your photogallery was a keyboard gallery or fashion gallery!

Hi Trevor,

I use an FC-7 to control the main volume of the Tyros2 and to control the 3 right voices I use the following settings:

Controller: 1 | CC: 7 | Function: Expression | Part: Keyboard

I've changed the min-max value to 80-127, so I can vary the volume of Part 1, 2 and 3.

The MFC10 has the following values for FC1:
Status: bF | DataCTRL: 7 | Max: 127 | Min: 80.

That works very well. For instance the organs on "Memory of Tyros2" are a bit to loud. Using the FC1 I made them a tad softer.

Have fun!
Bert.

Thanks Bert for the information. I will try those settings over the week-end and see how I get on..

Cheers!
Trevor

Oops, found a lot of Dutch on my english MP3 page. Just did a rush-translation to fix that. Also added a new song (20 minutes to early to call it a saturday, but that's a minor detail).

Thanks Bert for the music which I have very much enjoyed.
I like your music style and look forward to your next renditions.
Could you let us know what your musical experience was before you took up the keyboard.

Thanks for the compliments. Before playing keyboard I never played any instrument. I had a small advantage because my 10 finger typing skills are up to specs, so it was less hard to control the separate fingers to play the notes. I also had some idea about the notes on sheetmusic (lenght of the notes for instance). But for everything I played on the site I developed the skills in the last 3 3/4 years. It must be the musical genes from my fathers family... (and a few hours per week playing the keyboard of course)

Bert.
