I just had Broccoli Rabe With Garlic, Anchovy and Hot Pepper...OMG!!

FWIW, and with the caveat that I don't use SMFs for the simple reason all SMFs sound dull and lifeless to me, regardless of the equipment used to play them, the Korg's central slider position should have been pushed over to the left or right according to which sequencer was being used. As I say, I don't use SMFs, so I don't know whether or not this would have made a difference.

This is the recording from the BK-7m done with the built-in audio recorder. I have not made any changes to the midi file and the Mastering Tools (great feauture) was set to default.

I am quite happy with the result. Roland has always been good at midi file playback and remember that the BK-7m has exactly the same audio engine as the E-80 (Rolands latest - and maybe last - top of the range arranger).

Donny, it was only a pleasure to be able to help you with the Pa800 There has been quite a bit of turmoil both in my personal life and work life the last few years. As a side effect I decided to sell the Pa800 and buy a digital accordion instead to focus more on music than technology. Now that everything has settled down my main ambition is to be a fair accordionist and to make professional sounding backing tracks with my Mac/Logic system. I bought the BK-7m mainly for the fun of it, but now I realize how much I have been missing an arranger (I got my first arranger keyboard more than 25 years ago).

Thanks for the recording of the BK-7m, to be fair it sounds as good as its price point. I have a feeling if you listened to an RA-90 it would be the same. Just listen to the Steam being let off...I mean the cymbals and brushes. But at least there is no annoying clock winding as mentioned in my other post.

Suprisingly, in some respects is better than the Korg.

Well I found some time to (audio) record Sway (SMF) played by T4

Not that bad is it? (Niels please don't answer this question, we know your answer)

The only tweaking I did was get rid of the GM/GS voices in the program changes and take real Tyros voices instead.

If you modified then it is not a good trial.

I have a suggestion.

There are enough owners on this board to do the job properly. But we have to trust each other.

Email the SMF of "Sway" to the owner of each keyboard/module (must be exactly the same file). We will each make a direct line out recording without any modifications to the file or instruments dsp, voicing etc. (If you want to do a second recording modified its fine though as long as the first is clean)

I am happy to do the Audya and promise not to edit.

I would like to hear it on:
T1, T2, T3, T4 SD5, Audya, PA1 2 and 3X G70 and old RA90, BK-7m. In fact why not everyone do it regardless of model or age.

BTW
I remember when Frankie did that SMF comparison. He did not alter any of the three keyboards, and meant to be a completely unbiased demonstration.

It sound synthetic and not real,specially the drums . Nice played, but horrible sound.

Tommy good luck to you and you musical endeavors......maybe you can have both Accordion & Arranger KB to keep you happy 7 busy!
