I'm so excited! I recently bought a Roland DisCover5 keyboard and have been totally blown away with it in the few days I've had it. It is a SMF player's paradise. Please listen to my recording of the Eagles' Best of My Love. I recorder it on seldom used Boss BR532 4-track digital, using only the mono output of the Roland. There are some obvious flaws in the recording, but I just had to let you hear me and the DisCover5 harmonizer in action.

Hi Cass -

It probably is very good, but my computer plays the instruments out of tune

If Im being honest.....Although the style or SMF your using is a bit too robotic & doesnt flow smoothly for my tastes & would look for others that are much better suited in a 8bt ballad the overall performance was nice...good singing & the Disc5 always had great Voc Harmony as I heard & played Fran's a few times...the makeup tools can do wonders.

Thanx for sharing hope to hear more!!

Cass -

I listened again to the harmonies and they are VERY impressive. Did you have to chord these with the left hand?

I heard the DisCover demo at NAMM way back and the harmonies were unbelievable.

Do some more....

Please let us know with which mode and register you have used vocal harmonizer.

Thanks for all the helpful replies.
Donny - you're right on about that SMF. We usually play along live and that masks a lot of the stuffiness. I've used styles live before that do have a better feel. This is a SMF, but I would be open to one with a better feel.

Zuki - I did not touch the keyboard during the song. The harmonies were automatically generated by the harmonizer. I will record some more songs soon.

saimg - The midi was played using the DC5's LIVE cover; it is slightly different than the original instruments. For the harmonies I used the Singer mode with Ensemble harmony. The Ensenble was set to Soul. I faded that harmonies in and out with the knob; I found that quicker and easier than switching the harmonies on/off. Also, keeping the harmonies alive helped me mix the volume and intensity.

This would be a lot of work on a live job, and would probably interfere with playing live keyboard. I'll have to experiment some more and see how effective I can be doing the singing, harmonizing and keyboarding all at the same time. In any case, it sure is FUN!!!
