Thanks Rikki. I don't remember what set I sent you but the link below is to the latest one I took photos at. Some of the last shots are of the DJ who pulls up in a trailer loaded with equipment to DJ each Tuesday evening show.

Hi Stephen,
Definately wasn't those.
Goes back a while, think we discovered we both watch the same car shows and car auctions on tv ( Foxtel , over )
I think you had just been to a show recently.

Either way, great shots.

Update:

Brought out my S970 for a small gig yesterday. Older folks who like bluegrass gospel. The S970 styles(bluegrass country) and voices(dobro/lap steel) are yet unmatched by my PA 4X.

I'd love to be able to reproduce those S970 styles/voices on my 4X....especially the Hawaiian lap steel...ain't nothing close on the 4X. The 4X editing system is pretty versatile...maybe I'll figure something out.

My 4X will still see the majority of my gigs. But I'm not getting rid of my S970 just yet.

I will say though that it seemed like I was playing a toy keyboard(S970 Keybed) after using the 4X.

... been saying that for YEARS. If Yamaha used their Tyros keybeds on the PSR series, they wouldn't sell any Tyros'.

what have you done on the 4x to edit sounds to try to recreate its Hawaiian guitars to what you need...the 4x is a deep instrument and you can certainly make things work in your favor.
My S970 is gone & I'm not looking back at all.

Hi
I've converted a few of the PSR styles over the years.
Some of the older styles convert quite well, used to be able to do them in my old XG works program from a midifile of the style. Used to be as simple as changing the .sty into .mid
and I had the midifile I required. Then did the editing required.

Unfortunately the newer ones are a bit more difficult.
Have to record the midifile I require in my s950.
The guitar tracks are more complex , the mega voices and now the audio drums.
Done a couple so far from my s950.

Was there any particular style you were using?

There is some basic sound editing in
Style play mode
Menu
Track controls
Sound edit,
Came across it when I was looking for a drum editor.

You must have sounds I don't have in my s950 .
Is it anything like the pedal steel in the GM/XG section of the Korg sound banks?
That one sounds a bit like the pedal steel in my s950.

Rikki,

The bluegrass styles I use are similar to the Country musician styles found on Yamaha musicsoft.

As for steel guitar, my favorite has been the Hawaiian steel voice. I've checked all the guitars in my 4X...nothing close to that Hawaiian steel.

But I'm also just starting to learn how to edit sounds on my 4X and may get something close worked out.

Tx for the suggestions.

Hi Rog,
don't forget you can also load samples, but that may be for a future date.

So you're referring to 3rd party styles? not factory.
that's where yammie shines.

I just happened to upload a country ballad I did quite some time back, may or may not be of any use.
