Wow, just got a chance to see Martin Harris (in checkered shirt) waving to the camera. Who will you spot?

LIVE VIDEO CAM - NAMM (Yamaha Showroom, Marriott Hotel)

Martin Harris is presenting a LIVE demo of the Tyros 4 as I type. Watch it NOW!

nothing there now

Martin is an awesome demonstrator...of course, he was also a major part of the Tyros design...it's his "baby".

Those vocal patches and vocals in the styles are terrific.

Complete Listing of Naam 2011 Yamaha Demo Events

PS: I think the Yamaha Naam Video Cam is kept on during Namm showroom hours (10am - 6pm PST (-8:00 GMT)) so feel free to check back during these hours as well.

These Yamaha demos sound great at NAMM...so why do we need excuses about the new KORG DEMOS?

They just turned on the LIVE CAM video now!

Don Alder LIVE Yamaha A Series Guitar Demo going on right now as I type:

Stephen Kay is demonstrating Yam Motif with Karma features right NOW!

Very cool...KARMA is awesome!!!

Thanks Scott, although I will have to wait for tomorrow...Internet speed has been shaped as we went over D/L limits (son had uTorrent installed, unknown to me!!) and all the upload seeding (other users accessing game and patch data) took nearly 40% of our limit!!

Needless to say it has been deleted, but we are stuck on 56kbps until tomorrow

Dennis

Don't Miss This!

Tyros 4 LIVE streaming DEMO coming up here in 10 minutes (1:30pm PST; -8:00 GMT)

CLICK HERE

I enjoyed that . He's a great player.
DonM

Just finished watching it too. Wow!

Tyros 4 is one truly amazing pro keyboard and Martin Harris an equally amazing keyboard artist!

Here are some screenshot captures I took while watching it:









If you missed this show, make sure you don't miss the upcoming one later today, tomorrow, and Sunday (see show schedule above).

note: Synthzone member Tapas can be spotted standing (in beige jacket) at far left of pics 2 and 3.

It also sort of points out the general lack of interest in arrangers. People would pass by, stop a minute, then go on. People were tapping on drums and playing other keyboards nearby.
Some were chatting with each other and/or texting. A couple were taking videos. Very few were actually paying close attention to the demonstration.
DonM

Hi Scott,

thanx for sharing, i still waiting for Martin...

Thilo.

Thilo, if you can stay awake (in Germany) another 45 minutes,
Martin will be demoing Tyros 4 LIVE once again at 4:30pm PST (-8:00 GMT)

Well worth the Wait I think!

Is there anyone who can capture one of these demos for me? As I explained before I only have 56kbps at the moment (nowhere near enough for streaming) My d/l limit gets restored tomorrow, but byt then I think all the demos will be finished....

Dennis

Hi,

seen the show... very nice and i like the song at last.

great idea with LIVE Broadcast, but i hope next time the sound will be not so noisy ...

Thilo.

Dennis, you're in luck. Yamaha will be LIVE STREAMING more Martin Harris Tyros 4 demos again, tomorrow (Saturday) and Sunday:

Sat: Jan 15 @ 1:30pm & 4:30pm PST (-8:00 GMT)
Sun: Jan 16 @ 1:30pm & 4:30pm PST (-8:00 GMT)

I watched it live a few ours ago, and it was pretty awesome.

Hi Scott:

I have been watching the demos, Martin Harris KNOWS how to Demo an arranger.....he enjoys it as much as the listener....
You can see that he is in his element.

I also see that our friend Tapas was in the audience too....
I am sure he got the opportunity to talk to Martin Harris.

Thanks Scott...

It comes back at midnight tonight (Saturday our time, in about 10 hours). So I should be able to catch the Sunday one.

Dennis

Korg should hire Martin Harris to do their demos! :-)
Lee S.

It's amazing to watch everything happening live from across the country.
I wish Yamaha would introduce their digital trumpet to the US market. I would buy one. I have almost ordered one from Japan a time or two, but haven't yet.
DonM

Just caught a brief glimpse of Mark Anderson (Yamaha USA Marketing Rep)

CLICK HERE!

no sound????

all i can see is a bunch of people walking around

Me too!

And when I click on the left panel, all I can get is PICS of him playing

Short delay. Sound should return once the demo begins.

What a waste of time...No offence Scotty

I might just go and mow the grass instead

woooh lots of RF interference...it might get better....

There's Peter Baartmans scratching head trying to get the audio working. I hope they can get this working. It wasn't like this yesterday.

Sorry Scott, thats me done, I THINK this might be a good demo but this sound issue is knocking my eardrums sideways....I might try and tune in for the next one.

Thanks Anyway m8

Dennis

Wow!! the more I listen, the more that Tyros 4 is sounding fantastic!...Yamaha is miles ahead sound & style wise and has pulled away and is sitting pretty now in the #1 Seat in the Arranger KB world & will remain for a very long time. Scott you definitely made the RIGHT choice this time. I cant wait to demo one somewhere soon also ............ enjoy.

Hi Scott,
you are obviously NEARLY as convinced as I am that Martin Harris is the master of the all the Yamaha boards including the T4.
I presume you have already seen the above?

@Nigel
I really do like the new Forum style , especially in black and gold, but I just found out that we have to make any edit right away otherwise we get "This post can no longer be edited because the maximum edit time has expired. "
I just wanted to correct a typing error but was too late
cheers

Hi Eddie, in addition to the opportunity to 'take as long as you need' to preview and edit what you compose (via preview mode) before you ever hit the send button, you're also given 10 generous minutes more after your initial post to go back and re-edit your posting as you like. Only after 10 minutes, the post becomes permanent, which prevents certain individuals here who've had the history of later going back (10, 20, 60 minutes, or hours and days later ) to conveniently delete, or alter the meaning of their post(s) simply to protect them from possible recrimination to what they had originally posted. To preserve the integrity of our forum, I believe the 10 minute rule must remain. If someone really needs to edit or delete their posting later, they still have the opportunity to email Nigel about it.

Yep I think most people will see their typos within the 10 minute window. If not like Scott said just email me and I will be happy to fix it for you.

@NIgel and Scott

THank s for your input, appreciated.

I agree that 10 minutes is normally ample, but in the case I quoted, i.e. a typo, it was more than 10 minutes after the send when I noticed it

cheers

IMPORTANT NEWS UPDATE !

I just checked the Yamaha's Namm Schedule of Events for today (Sunday, Jan. 16th) and it appears that Martin Harris' live streaming demo at 1:30pm and 4:30pm PST (-8:00 GMT), have 'both' been 'removed' (canceled) from the Scheduled lineup! No idea if this had anything to do with the audio problems they had during Harris' demo's yesterday.

That said, I'd got good news! Tapas has recorded with his Canon M30 HD Vidcam, a Martin Harris Naam demo and sending it to me, so I'll be uploading some/all of it to my YouTube channel in the next few days.The footage also includes some nice 'surprises' but I can't reveal the details yet, but I'm sure it will be worth the wait to watch. I'll be also uploading some exclusive HD vid he shot (including a SZ member 'we know here' playing the Korg Pa3X, & a demo of Kronos too.

Great news Scott please upload the whole thing or maybe 2 or 3 pts for us to enjoy. Did Taps as Martin about the new S series release also?

Hey man, there ain't much that gets by you, Scott.

I'll be looking forward to the uploads, and quite interested in the "surprises".

Thanks for your unrelenting diligence in getting information.

Ian

I guess it simply goes to show 'how deep' my passion for arranger keyboards is.
I also got a little more free time on my hands now as January's my slowest gig month.

I don't know why Yamaha hasn't already hired you on to the Arranger Demo team?.....Martin, Voncken, Baartmans, & Yee !

Martin
Harris, Voncken, Baartmans, Yee
.

and busy shooting Martin's Tyros 4 demo with his new Canon MP30 HD vidcam of course. I can't wait to see it in HD.
