I thought a Hammond sounded like a Hammond....that's homogeneous, ain't it? Unless you play a Farfisa along with it. Duh!

Two different guitars, one audio, and one midi, being needed to play a chord, is not homogeneous, and when I heard it, it didn't sound very good.

It's like the guitar player saying, "Sorry folks, but I can't rightly play this complex chord by myself, so I'll have the other guitar player help me out by adding the notes for me. Thank you, and have a lovely evening."

Tell me another one.

IF it's a HOMOGENEOUS sound we are after...
Then i think we should REALLY consider one of these:

Now come on, Lee...the Audya sounds a bit better than that instrument....but, maybe the pretty colors will amuse you.

I have posted some unique, general and Style editor features currently available on AUDYA and those soon to come in OS 4.0 right here.

Some have asked for what makes this keyboard unique appart from having AUDIO Drums, Bass and Guitars that are used with the STYLES. I would say it's also what you can do with the AUDIO plus your own AUDIO parts too (USER AUDIO DRUMS, USER AUDIO GUITARS).

As of OS3.0 ...

** EDIT STYLES and move/select AUDIO DRUMS, BASS and GUITARS to use within any style and store as a USER style.

** EDIT STYLE and use a USER AUDIO DRUM (a wave file you've created/recorded yourself, stored in the USER DRUM FOLDER of the AUDYA's HD).

** EDIT STYLE and change any of the DRUM parts (From/TO MIDI/AUDIO), any of the chord parts (MIDI or BANK) and Chord 5/LIVE (MIDI to/from Live Guitar or Live USER GUITAR [in 4.0]) and SAVE as a USER STYLE.

** PLAY A MIDIFILE and replace it's drums with either DRUMS from AUDYA's STYLE Library or USER DRUMS (Waves you've created yourself)... DRUM REMIX. As the Midifile plays, you can toggle between the Style's Drums OR the original Midifile Drums in real time.

** PLAY A MIDIFILE and replace it's guitar or any track with the LIVE GUITARS (so the MIDIFILE will control chord changes while playing with associated Live Guitar track (or USER LIVE GUITAR) or play the Live Guitar Parts along with a Midifile [OS 4.0].

** INTELLIGENT GUITAR (Kind of what others refer to as GUITAR MODE). User is able to (while playing a style), play a LIVE AUDIO GUITAR strum (depending on Live Guitar selected) which instantly replaces the LIVE GUITAR ... so you can manually (using chords) strum as though you were playing a real guitar yourself ... but you would be playing an actual AUDIO GUITAR strum/lick ... The style's Live Audio Guitar is instantly replaced with your Live 'live' Guitar. If you play a chord with regular velocity, the Style's Audio Guitar returns!

oh sh@t...

Yamaha just emailed me the following:

"Dear Mr. Leezone, You have violated your confidentiality agreement with Yamaha. Please remove the prototype pic of the Tyros4 immediately. If you do not comply with 24 hours, Yamaha will take immediate legal action against you"

Ha Ha...very funny.

Jeez, Fran.... haven't you learned by now how oversized
images mess up the thread

Can you edit and repost after reducing the size?

And come on guys... can't anyone take this thread seriously.
Doesn't ANYONE want to hear a shootout between guitar parts..?

Methinks Ian is getting a bit nervous. Me, if I thought MY arranger
blew away the Audya's guitar section (which it doesn't, unfortunately )
I'd want to show it off loud and proud. I guess TALKING smack is easier than proving it

Sorry buddy, methinks you should know by now I can't be pressed into doing something I don't feel like doing.

Besides, that would ruin the surprise for you when you finally get to try out a PSR-S910 or a Tyros3.

Fran's finesse with pictures is like his playing.

Ian

Yes...bigger than life..
