Yes they do Fran, and both are quite expressive in their playing, to my ears...witness Donny's incredible performance on the KMA, an instrument with keys the size of Chicklet's gum.

There's no doubt, to anyone with any musical sense, that it was all the hours on those terrific and expressive PSR keys that gave Donny "the expressive touch" on the KMA.

I'm hoping we will be graced(?) with an even more expressive demo by yourself (since you are so experienced, that shouldn't be a problem?)...you still have the KMA, do you not?

PS...The PSR's keys are so communicative, Gary was even able to play them expressively with bandaged fingers...that is pretty cool!

PSS..."Experience" is that marvelous thing that enables you recognize a mistake when you make it again.

You were in the carriage.

Mind your elders...ha ha!

I will still respond

The Korg is tied up...sometimes the grand-kids need something to play with....


Both Donny and Gary will tell you, their expressiveness comes from their vocals..they claim to be "singers" first..


and I think you do not understand expressive, in music terms

I say a good player can play on any keybed....I just adapt to whatever is under my fingers....keyfeel is not a biggie for me, never was...I feel just as comfortable playing my old B3, Rhodes, G70, as I am the KMA or my Galante Accordion...you can have the so called best keys on in the world, it's what is played on them & what it sounds like is much more important.

You don't let them use that old G-70? They'll develop very bad technique on a mini-keyboard...don't you care about their future expressiveness?

I understand "expressive" in music terms very well, thank you.

That's why I refuse to play on small keys (they work well for some, but not me)...that's also why I use a Tyros4...the MOST expressive arranger made, in my opinion, of course.

Ian

PS...T'would be nice to hear just how expressively you play the KMA...but, we won't get our hopes up.

I doubt if Donny's demo can be equaled.

Here Ian..I just played by the seat of my pants....dang these little keys..

And no, I am not trying to compete with any individual...we are all different players...

This Korg Micro is far from being awlful

Fran...

Never mind...I got it okay.

Ian

File Corrupted?

Nope...downloaded fine for me...and opened perfectly.
