As the holiday schedule says goodbye I am enjoying setting up the new board and getting used to it. I love the playability of the 970, the piano, guitars and drums are impressing me the most I'd say and I frankly have very few complaints at this point of the game.

Two somewhat sizable issues have revealed themselves so far...

The location of the multi-pads. (MP's)

Everyone is different how we trigger various parts of an arranger. As far as the MP's go, there are times when I can fire them with my RH OR my LH. There are other times when due to other things (usually chording or playing a lead) that there's only one hand available to trigger the MP. I'm finding it terribly awkard to trigger it in some cases.

Ex. NY, NY

During the classic chordal "walkup" "It's up to YOU (MP crash) NEW (MP crash) YORK (MP crash) NEW (MP crash) Yooooorrrk....." I (on full kb mode) am playing full chords with my RH and bass octaves with my LH, during which time my middle finger can reach up and fire the cymbal crash very smoothly.

No more and my middle finger on my LH certainly doesn't reach the far right of the kb, lol...

The crashes are an iconic part of the tune and imo, HAVE to be there.

There are other examples and I'm telling myself that over time, I'll figure it out but it's a bit frustrating to be honest.

Has Yamaha ever explained why they moved the MP's from the left side of the board to the right? I'd love to know.

The 2nd issue is no longer having three voice options and learning to live with just two.

I appreciate more now the the value of creating multiple registrations for the same tune, of which the possibilities are endless. I rarely did this with the T2 because I found it very adequate to work with just the three voices. Piano as #1, Strings as #2 and then the solo instrument of my choosing as #3. I'd become very adept at changing a voice on the fly as I play in many circumstances. This isn't as easy on the 970, but I think in time, it will come.

Another question regarding multipads...

My most common MP's are the Conga/Bongo, the shaker/tamborine and the cymbal crash. QUESTION: Is there a way to create a "custom" bank of multi-pads with voices from DIFFERENT MP's? Can I save up to 4 of my favorites into one MP setting that is available to me for every song/registration I load?

Again, I like this kb very much with limited hands on time so far. No regrets on this purchase whatsoever...

Thanks for the feedback!

Bill

Hi Bill:

Thanks for pointing out these problems. I can't resolve the first one other than suggest that a foot pedal activation might work if you are willing to take the solution that far. I agree that the cymbols need to be activated correctly in performing NY, NY.

Your second issue can be resolved by downloading a small program called "Padmaker" from the PSR Website. It takes a small learning curve but can do exactly what you want. I'm guessing you would have the final custom Multi-Pad installed in the user area of the 970 or on a memory stick would work well for you.

Good luck on finding the perfect solution. Don Mason probably has a dozen other options for you.

why not just record an smf or mp3 backing track for the song in question with all the included crashes you need etc, etc, .. and play on top of it...

Bill, how do you handle the ritard and drum roll going into "... these little town blues ..." ?

I never do that "slow down retard or drum roll" Tony I always keep the song strict TEMPO all the way thru especially because its a big Line dance song and when people are dancing you cannot slow down the tempo......additionally you can always multitrack record a smf and play on top with the included retard if you really need it ..
just sayin'.. cool2

I use a 'pro' smf that I purchased, and of course it has the full Sinatra arrangement ... the 'Rockettes' wink that danced to it this holiday season had no problem with it ... in fact, I am sure they expected it ...
Whatever works ...

I didn't like the placement of the pads either. Not sure there is a great workaround that has not been mentioned.
There aren't enough pedal inputs to do everything one needs to do.

Hi Bill,
I solved the problem of the missing third voice by making my own OTS setting and save it as a user style.
That way you have access to 8 voices.

I simply don't know how to do that and MIDI files have seemed to be a gigantic pain in the ass that I can't figure out.

I do have to say that playing over a prerecorded track doesn't feel right to me and my half-hearted efforts to figure it out just leave me frustrated and I just find some other way to work up the tune in question.

Or, I just don't do the tune...

Assign it to a pedal...

I try to use pedals as much as possible, so i can keep my hands on the keys...

Hpwever, this is offcourse a Yamaha keyboard, dont know if its possible on the 970 to assign the triggering of a multipad to a pedal..

Since we're on the subject here one of the few things that I don't like about the S970 vs the S950....and that is the New charcoal grey "smooth surface" paint job on the S970 difficult to grip vs the rougher surface of the black s950 which made it a bit easy to grip when lifting off/on the stand from the sides..

I also would like it if they had some GOOD preset ocal Mic efx settings to try as I don't like fiddling & experimenting to try and get a good sounding setting and having to worry about those settings changing every time you change registrations..


That's all for now..otherwise the s970 sounds terrific and for the weight, features, sound, styles, it's definitely an excellent giggers arranger KB for now!.. wink

Maybe you started answering the question asked in the other thread, why would want something else? The Korg does it automatically. You don't have to touch anything but the volume if you don't want to. And turn the lock on and any parameter on the keyboard stays the way you left it. MY SETTING loads automatically with all your setup preferences.
Every time you turn on the S970 you have to take steps to call up your mic setting.

As it should for twice the price?.......don't think the Pa4x isn't on my radar but with NAMM 2016 coming next week I'll sit back and cruise along for now....the Voc processor on the s970 doesn't concern me I never use it.....I sing thru an outboard Yamaha Mixer that sound great. Good luck with your new KB buddy!!

Honestly Don..I'd much rather use the mic thru the KB which would allow less crap to setup on small gigs and when I get a chance I'm not ruling it out as of yet as I need time to sit down bring the S970 in the house and dig into the EFX and try to come up with the right combination of settings and locks to preserve it too..The Pa4x certainly bring more to the table...dont forget I had a Pa3x also just sayin wink

You are a Yammy guy though. The mic processor and VH in the 970 sound good; it just takes some fiddling to optimize it.

And, once you optimize it, just save the information to a setup registration where it can instantly be recalled. Then it's just a matter of locking the information so you cannot mess it up with any subsequent registrations you have created. Nothing more than a couple button pushes to perform after turning on the keyboard. All this takes less than 3 seconds.

Donny, the vocal processor in the S-970 is outstanding and I used it every job with absolutely no problems whatsoever. I stopped packing a mixer with me more than a decade ago and never looked back. And, the only reason DonM has one is because he frequently has guest singers and players show up unexpectedly at Earnest's.

All the best,

Gary cool

I am not talking about changing tempos in standard tunes, but are you saying that in line dances such as 'Zorba' and the dreaded 'Chicken Dance' and others, you never slowed down and sped up the tempo ? I just think people are aware of tempo changes in iconic songs like NY,NY and expect it to happen ...
JMHO, but what do I know ...

Here ya go, Donny:





After setting the above parameters, save the information to a registration.

Next, press Function/Utilities, then using the B button scroll down to Parameter Lock. Uncheck everything other than Master EQ and Mic Setting. Now, the only flaw is in Yamaha's OS with this one. When the keyboard is turned off, it will revert to the original, factory mic settings. Therefore, when I first turn on the keyboard the very fist thing I do is Press the Function button, go to Utilities, then scroll to Parameter Lock and uncheck the Mic setting box. Next, I select my mic setting registration, then recheck the mic setting box in parameter lock and I'm good for the rest of the day. It makes no difference if you have some old mic settings on your old registrations that you transferred - they cannot be activated unless you turn off the mic settings in the parameter lock section of utilities. Very quick, easy and efficient.

For vocal harmony, I still use my TC Helicon Harmony M and fire it through the keyboard, therefore using the keyboard's general mic processor in conjunction with the Harmony M.

You call that quick, easy and efficient? smile You should not have to jump through these hoops every time you power on. I have complained to Yamaha for years about this, and they do not care. It's the ONLY arranger company without a power-on setup save function.

Bill, I don't know how to solve your issue with the multi pads placement but have you tried to use the "NY NY" Yamaha style? Variation 4 has the crash cymbals on the back beats which is perfect for the walk up. Let me know if you need a copy of that style.

On the Pa900, once I have saved my mic settings including the harmony setting I want for a particular style or song it is there every time I access it ... If I haven't saved predetermined settings, it falls to the 'Global' default, which I have determined and set in advance ...

Sometimes it's not the amount of time, but just the fact that you have to do it, when the manufacturer could easily change it ...

Gary thank you for sharing.....Dan & Tony do make alot of sense also...Korg definitely has it going on the right way over Yamaha in the MIC EFX processor setting feature. It is something Yamaha needs to address in upcoming models ...I hope they are reading this !

I have been in contact with them over this very issue many times, and have been promised that they will address this on future models, however, that has been nearly 10 years since I talked with them about the problem. Maybe I should jar their memory again.

I just got off the phone with Yamaha USA, they said they will have one of their programming gurus call me and said they will do their best to resolve this issue. Keep your fingers crossed.

That would be fantastic. While you are at it, you have basically the same problem with pedal assignments, unless you use the defaults.
And have them put a template in place for FC10 foot controller, like they do for Tyros.

Hope you are up to date on speaking Japanese.

I have started using one of the active control knobs on the S970 to control balance between voice and harmony.

One thing I especially like is that I can add in a bit of harmony rather than all harmony or nothing at all.

Pretty cool feature?
