On a gig you're far more free to add a refrain or whatever you like by live playing if the public are in good mood and want you to. By use of sequensed songs, midis or mp3 you're totally forced to follow the playback all the time. GJ ....of course if the mp3 are used as sampled sound it's different.

Yes, I can sure see your point Johnnie.c, not much discussions going on at the Roland forums. Maybe that will be better now when Technics don't follow up the KN7000? Personally I'm a kind of eager to see how the G70 and other kb's are being judged by KN users, also compared to those who are users of the Tyros or other brands and of course also versus KN7000, so why not on this forum? KN7000 will probably stand against most competitions still, but we'll never know when / where or what will be the next BIG ONE, and not to forget what will replace or be added to my "dear old mistress" KN5k. Oh well, at the end it's only the personal taste who matters, and I really hope that Yamaha get more competition elsewhere to keep up the alternatives to choose by. No matter how good or bad the Tyros2 will be. Monopoly is not a good thing, and it really looks like Yamaha are on the way to achieve it when quite a lot of players run for it as we can see at Gen Arr Forum. Ops...got it even more offtopic now, didn't I? GJ

Originally posted by Kenneth Gundersen: ..... I dont see any reason to why I should add anything. I play the song how it is original and that's it... I asume our experiences are different, and maybe it's different how it works in different places where "gigging". If you play for a public sitting just to listen and look at you, I can see that there is no need to add or do any funny things, but when gig for i.e. a Saturday Night Dance or a Wedding, I can't imagine doing it without the freedom to stop, start, add, joke and have fun as you can do when perform live playing. The audience usually love it very much, and you know, when people sing along and having big time, do not stop to give them any excuse to back off of the dancefloor and sit down. Midifiles and mp3's as "The Band" are used quite a lot lately, and I've been guest at places where every single song was playback. I have even asked the musicians why not come on and join the rest of the party, the music plays just fine as it is. No need to be a "book end" for the keyboard or/and the minidisk who are preset to play non stop anyway. (Yeah, I know, I'm a bad, bad guy. ) Of course, this is only my personal view and observations. Each one most do what they find suitable and what they feel is right, after all this is great technical features who are added to the kb's, and probably it's made to be used as well. Wow, got a idea! Kenneth, send your repertoire to me, and I'm going out to gig again and collect the big money. Pssst... I won't tell anybody that is you who are inside the KN. GJ And yet again, looks like Tony's tread are twisted even more off of the original topic, or more correct, hijacked by me.....

Originally posted by Peter Lowden: ....take no notice of the member who earlier in this thread requested you go elsewhere, it's totally uncalled for and tactless. Comments like that spoil the good will of the forum. Well, to keep the discussions in the forums where it's ment to be regarding to what brand, maybe that is the idea about the whole structure of the forums here at SZ. I don't think Johnnie.c "spoil the good will" of the forum by say what he mean, so do I and some others. Maybe comments like yours now Peter, do a far better work regarding to "spoil the good will", and also are "totally uncalled for and tactless" ? Personally I don't have any problem to see that no more new Technics might make this more like the General Arranger Forum for each one of us who add or buy a new keyboard of another brand, and maybe that's what Johnnie.c post is about? (You know, those of us who lost a great Technics Forum earlier, probably dislike to see that it should happen to this forum as well.) Anyway, myself I have nothing against mixing up a bit and even twist a topic now and then, it's a kind of natural, just as "normal" conversations use to be. To make a comparison like Tony does here I think many of us like both to see and participate within, but if or when we start post clean topics about other brands, I think we should do it on the dedicated forums. Looking into the links in Johnnie.s's post, the Roland forum is not much used.... and strictly between us, I think the Genral Arranger forum has gone a bit too Yamaha'ish. At the end I think we should keep in mind that the only one who deside and tell us who to go elsewhere or not is Nigel, who do a really GREAT work hosting and administrate the SynthZone Forums. Happy posting & playing. GJ

Originally posted by Peter Lowden: Tony doesn't deserve this, he's only been trying to help inform members of future keyboard options! Deserve this? Come on Peter, I think this tread is been "translated" a kind of wrong, and even heated up by you, so why start repeat the story again now? No one told Tony to leave, just that if this was going to be a fully blown up Roland tread it might as well be a idea to join the Roland Forum, because it's several of those already, and not much used either. At least this is the way I read it. I think Tony is a grown up man who very well know that he can post where he want to if he want to, just like everyone else. GJ

Tony, glad you are still going to be posting your observations on the Roland G70. I've always been a fan of Roland Styles. They tend to get carried away sometimes on the Intro's and Ending's.....some in the past went on forever. To my taste though, I like their styles a lot. I have heard some of the G70 styles that were converted to Yamaha and tweaked and they sounded great. I haven't tried the ones converted to Technic's yet. I'm curious to see the G70 when our local dealer gets one in. I didn't like the sounds on the VA7 very well. I felt like the Technic sounds were miles ahead there for the most part. I have never liked their organ sounds out of the box, so I'm especially interested in how the are with the new (V) technology. Anyway, it will be fun to check out! I hope you enjoy yours. Not sure I'll be changing even if I do like it. I guess never say never though. I guess I should mention I'm a former Roland fan, I've had an E30, E70, E86, E500, E600 and an VA7 in the past. I always considered Roland to be the best.....then I found a Technic's 6000 and "WOW". So got that, and then traded to the KN7000. I like my 7000 a lot so it would take a lot before I'd want to trade it. Marilyn [This message has been edited by Marilyn Boissoneault (edited 03-13-2005).]
