HI all,
I don't see much action on this forum anymore so maybe we can get some started here.
I just recorded this original song I wrote on the Roland E 80 live with Cakewalk Pro Audio 9.
How about some of you people putting up some of your Roland songs here.
I don't qualify to post in the General Arrange forum because I don't know either of the two mandatory songs they require and my eyes don't read very well anymore at my age.
Here is my song: http://www.box.net/shared/to6gxphxbk
Hope you enjoy it.
I dedicate it too all the Roland Owners,
Bebop Bill

Hey Bill..you sure are a "BigBand" type of guy...

HI FRAN,
I played horns in several big bands when I was young. We got 10.00 a night side man scale if we belonged to the union and 12.00 if we doubled on two instruments. Everything was arranged and you had to read the music. Solos were a measure with a diagnol slash threw them and a number, meaning you had that number of bars to blow after the turn around.
I do love big band music and still play a lot of it on my keyboards. Roland has some good styles for BB.
Best to ya,

Bebop

BeBop ... real nice job ... thnx for sharing, friend,
t.

Bebop...
Nice composition and playing.

Are you still playing the RV parks?

Eddie

thanks Tony and Eddie,
I do still play a gig now and then in a RV park we might happen to be parked in for a period of time. we usually stay in a park for a week or more at a time and the word gets around that I am there and will play for their RV club dinner, dance, singalong, or whatever.
I always enjoy it and often will just play for a spontanious street dance on the street I am parked on in the RV park. Sometimes we will have everybody in the park there including managers so no problems with complaints.
It is fun.
Bill

Bebop - great work! Wow.... I hadn't heard the E-80 and it sounds great! You did a terrific job on the song and the performing. You are a very good keyboard man! Keep up the great work and thanks for sharing your composition and your talent.

Randy

Thank you Randy,
that is a real encouragement coming from you who I consider to be one of my peers. I really enjoy your sax work. I haven't played reeds in a long time but enjoy playing them on THIS particular keyboard.
Best regards,
Bebop

THANks everybody for posting here.
However it didn't seem to get this forum going again.
I don't see any Roland people posting here or putting up songs or even interested so
NIGEL, I have tried three times to get this forum going and it is a waste of time and bandwidth so why don't you just junk it.

Hey Bill,

I just ordered a Roland AT-350C. It will be my first Roland keyboard. Your background with both Technics and Roland may be a great help for me in understanding the Roland OS. I have played Technics organs and keyboards for longer than I care to remember. So, I'm sure there will be a steep learning curve to move to the Roland.

I will be trying early to create and modify styles for my new toy. I saw no editing capability in the owners manual. So, I assume the styles are midi format that could be edited at the PC?

I really liked the horns on your song. Nice piece.
