Scott I thought you said "listen to Twenty Something"..
I could have danced ..is a modern 16 beat[sort of funky]..


I think the bass line dictates the "funk" feel..

Hi Fran
I liked your song because it had a rhythm which reminded me of "Winter in Summer" which I heard a few years ago. It was recorded as a first sample of 'quadraphonic sound' and the bass was really booming.
I also hear a pseudo-reggae beat in your piece. Did you use a style from the Tyros, if so which one?
Thanks for the link.
cheers

Eddie, that was the Acid Funk from the G1000..I have it converted to the Tyros if you want to try it..

Thanks for your kind offer Fran
I play a 9000 .
I wonder if I can convert it to 9000 from your style?
Anyway I will gratefully receive it as is, thanks.
cheers
Eddie

Fran, I read your post and I thought you had a nice idea. Then I put it away, had to do
stuff --- A few days later I sat at my Kn7 and did the following. What I did was inspired by your thoughts.

I also posted this on the Technics forum under the heading of, "Learning a song and haveing fun".

Could be for everyone ---,
I put in some chord substitutions in the song
“All the things you are”. I wanted to memorize the song so after studying the structure the song I began to play it. The registration in my Kn7 was set to the factory “Tour of the KN7000”, the original settings, and in expanded mode.
As I started to play the song I pressed a registration and the rhythm changes, and so did the instrumentation. I did not realize it was in expanded mode. I played the song through 40 different registrations. Wow what a way to get to learn a song.
What the keyboard taught me;
1-That the song was not limited to the one jazz style I was used to.
2-As the style changed so did my interpretation of the song.

I played the song with a waltz style, Latin, ballad, rock and a fast 2step.
I improvised according to the feel of the style, each one led me to play the song differently.
The results;
1-I know the song well.
2-I found new ways to interpret the song.
3-The keyboard taught me things that I never thought of, like playing “All the things” you are in a Waltz tempo.

The best part --- I enjoyed the Kn7 for 2 ½ hours and walked away satisfied, I felt I was creative and there was no repetition
A enjoyable way to open new doors.

John C. – having fun
