... I'm diving in the deep end here, but Gary's version gave me the incentive to try this tune ...
Both versions were recorded on the Pa900 using on board styles which I edited and added multi pads to ...

the harmony for the first version (PA ex) was provided by my Digitech Vocal Workstation EX ...

the second (PA pa) uses a harmony setup I put together on the PA900, and the style is actually the one 'suggested' by KORG in the on-board songbook ...

Good job Tony,

I can hear the higher voice on the 900 harmony now. Are these recordings off the keyboard or did you use your Zoom Recorder.

God Bless,
Don

Good job Tony. Can't say which harmonizer I like better. Both are good, just differ slightly.

Glad to be an inspiration to one of my older colleagues. wink I agree with Don about the harmonies, just different, but the quality is pretty much equal.

So the 900 can record mp3 direct to thumb drive?

God Bless,

Nice job on these, Tony...I can't pick which one I like better.

It's nice when a player puts his own stamp on a tune, which you have done with both of these, and, of course, we have the perfect instrument for that very job.

Yes, but the finished recording comes up as "Take 1" ... you have to be sure to Name It and Save It to the USB ...

You actually have an option to record on the Pa900 Hard Disc, or the USB ...

with this kind of 3/4 part full harmony the slower original tempo adds to it's beauty imo..and gives it a chance to breathe.
