Sounds good Henni. I even hear some dutch

I hear you Henni and your lastest example definitely has more of you but its a major contrast to what I heard previously and underlines my point . You have courage and I respect that ,and clearly a passion for music which I also respect .

But with all the money you are investing in buying new boards and converting other people's styles ,would it not be an even better investment in yourself to maybe actually learn to play better yourself ? It's not about preferences , your timing is poor to the extent that the chariots of Fire style style cannot make up the difference to the overall sound that you are making . To say otherwise would be to do you a great disservice . Wow factor cannot cover basic playing skills . You can't hear my tone Henni as I write but I assure you I have no desire to undermine you or cause you any negativity or harm when I write . I just think you are missing the cake for snacking on the icing ....

I wish we would all get fat on some good cake !!!

Hi Spalding,

So in my "AnotherTune" example you're saying that my left hand chord timing is terrible? I'm talking left hand chords only, NOT right hand.

I'm sorry to be an embarrasment to you. I guess my way of life removed pride from me. I never for a moment deemed myself as being special or superior.

In any case, I tried. I've given my fair share towards the arranger community over the years...

More of our own compositions recorded live:

No Henni. You're uploading songs quicker than I can type!

My remarks were pertaining to the chariots of Fire style where your timing was poor . The style could not hide this obvious fact . I am sorry if my comments come across as harsh . They are not intended to . If you lived in the UK I am certain we could jam and laugh and make music together . But as a fellow musician I would encourage you to do better and not tell you something sounded great if it did not or tell you your work was good when in reality it was not your work .

Your last song where your wife sang was better . You are not an embarrassment to me . My embarrassment was that I had mistakenly assumed you had played at least one part of the original song you started this post with and I was really surprised that you did not actually play any of it . Not even the lead voice . Not even the left hand chord changes . The entire piece was in fact a chopped up midi file that was already chopped up by someone else and all you did was push the buttons in the correct order .

Henni if that's what gets you excited musically then good for you but I assure you the fun has not even started yet ! Wait till you start playing chords and melodies and chord progressions and improvisation in time . You will wet yourself !!

I just think you are hindering your own musical development by letting the instrument do pretty much all the work . You change instruments because you get bored with the styles and sounds and get another one and repeat the cycle .If you ever went to another church having done your style of performance and they just happened to have a keyboard and wanted someone to lead in worship but you could not set up your instrument ,what would you do ? No button pushing but actual playing is required . As a youth I found myself in that position once and determined in my heart that I would learn to play . It was the best decision of my life next to marrying my gorgeous wife ! But don't tell her I said that ......

Ha!

I just realized that some have purposefully been set up to discredit me in any way they can. And I now realize why.

Not to worry, I'll stick with Yamaha instead. To tell the truth, I'll even consider swapping my full blown Ajamsonic Audya with bag for a PSR S970 with case or bag if the other party pays for shipping both ways & any other costs involved. Now here's a good deal for someone who wants a TOTL instead.

I have peace again.

Henni

Take your meds......NOW!

Henni, I don't think that is right, but maybe you know something I don't. I don't believe anyone really cares what brand arranger the others use. I like 'em all, just some better than others.

You might be right Don,

In all the years I've never received flak like I do recently, and I've posted a lot of music over here before. And my playing skills did not grow worse over these years, so what's up all of a sudden?

In any case, I'd rather push buttons on a Yamaha for now. I just listened to all my own compositions - there are a few of them lying around on my hard drives. I'm not saying they're special. But in each of those I made extensive use of intro's & endings as those things somehow inspire me to create.

The Audya will be fantastic in the right hands - but those hands are no longer mine. I need those awesome intros & endings - period!

I'll stop posting more music & other stuff. I always wondered why all do not make all their mods & findings & creations available to all. I think I now know why.

Cheers,

Henni

Henni, it's like you are not even reading our comments. We are actually trying to help you, but you can't see it that way.

Yes, it is not I don't like the trumpet because it is a Yamaha but because it just don't sound right in that song/style.
