That brings me to a dilemma. I've spent way too much time programming Registrations on my BK9 and I tend to stick with a small collection of usable sounds, especially for the RH fills and backing. Mostly Piano. WHY ? because I'm trying to connect with the general audience and I feel if you start getting too "electronic" or esoteric with your sounds you lose them as they don't feel its real. Bartmanns crowd was there to see an Arranger so they knew what to expect. Biggest keyboard draw here now is Dueling Pianos which is really not. Its just one Piano at a time playing and the other person singing and doing Tambourine. But it is just piano, no other sounds. Another reason why the Acoustic Guitar / Singer thing is so big. Peope relate to a familiar guitar and can see the preformer playing ( even if it is only 4 chords LOL ! )
Another reason I don't thin I'll jump to a new Arranger, I'm tired of programming. Rather spend my time on the music. IMHO BTW the Genos sounds great !


Your very welcome Bill....all good points and no one cares...just sing your heart out with great vocalsand back yourself with a decent groove is all you need,..either a style, smf, backing tracks, etc,...
it's all good and people love it. have fun mix it up..

let's face it most sit there half asleep looking at the demonstrator who is way more excited about the KB then anyone in the audience saying to themselves, .."sounds pretty good" but I could never play like that!! eek2 then clap a few times and go home bewildered confused2 they should be honest and say in the beginning of the demo...Ladies and gentlemen I will now show you how great I can play this kb but believe me you will never sound like me ever!!....lol,.... ok let's get started surprised

I agree with most and liked it. Typical marketing, using top performers to demonstrate means you're going to sound like that if you buy one, or using top models means you're going to look like that if you buy that exercise equipment or take that pill..sure....

Pro sponsored demos also talk more and play less to highlight features, but if it is in an unfamiliar language it is not helpful.

I'd rather hear the average player use one make it more natural sense of what it really sounds like...not dreaming of what you'll ever sound like..
your playing skills are just that... YOUR PLAYING SKILLS
only YOU can change that if you want to.


Agreed

I think we need both.
You got Martin Harris and Peter doing it's thing so you know what the instrument can sound like.
Then you get a player like the video above and you know what the KB with the average player in the real world will sound like ...

Very good demo.............Baartman’s “sells the sizzle, not the steak.” Most of us will never play like Baartman’s even with all the practice in the world. This demo as already been said is more real world.

At $6K, I would expect to hear the gems that an experienced player can highlight. If I only heard the normal stuff, I'd not come away satisfied in spending that much money. It's similar to driving a Beemer in the senior citizen's lane - A Fusion can do that.

Nobody pays $6K!
It is a lot less.
Especially if you buy from Frank wink
