This girl can create music & sing too wow so kool...

Thanx for sharing

If you just got to push buttons, this is the way to do it. I consider this PLAYING AN INSTRUMENT and doing it well. Very creative and very enjoyable. Very talented young lady.

What she plays, she plays really brilliantly, and together with the very professional singing it is excellent multitasking. Nevertheless, keep in mind 80% of the music is preprogrammed.

As are our styles...

styles are just small smf files

Actually, it's the old discussion style versus midi file again. With a style you control at least the chord progression, it can be spontaneous, and depending on how you use styles, if they are lean you can add a lot yourself live.
I always think: how much of it would the player be able to keep if the storage or electricity would collapse and they had to do the same on a piano or guitar...
Just watching it again, actually I'd say 90% is preprogrammed, she's adding one live part of maybe 10 at a time.
It's the evolution of music and society, we are slowly becoming Borgs and can't do much about it, it's definitely even more computer-dependent than an arranger.

You can see and hear that the music is in every nerve in her body.
Great talent, and I did enjoy the video very much.
Thanks for sharing. 🎵🎵🎵🎹🎹🎹🎵🎵🎵

Yeahhhhh, BUT, (to me) she clearly demonstrates two things; 1. She has talent, and 2. SHE CAN PLAY. I'm not a huge fan of arranger performances but when performed by say, Marco Parisi (yeah, I know, I use him a lot as an example) I'm just as fascinated by the performance as if it had been done on piano, organ, or synth. As Paul always says..."It not the keyboard.....".

What a neat setup! And everything is so compact! She gets many interesting sounds from it. The fact that she also has a keyboard is cool! Too futuristic for my taste and talent level, but she does a fantastic job, while making it look very easy.

Thanks, Bachus!

Loved it.
But, not worried about losing my A/L or Antler gigs to her.....just yet.

Very cool clip . She is obviously a gifted performer and to be able to sing and remember all the performance features of her set up and play live lead on keys requires great skill and dexterity.

But I doubt you could shout out a song she knows and she would be able to do an arrangement of it on the spot live .

That’s the strength of an arranger keyboard .

Very true...

But i would love to see some loops added to the arrangers..
Arrangers are slowly turning into full fledged workstations..

Unless you do lots of synth programming, for my money, arrangers have always been a better choice than a "workstation" in any studio that does simple recording, or songwriting. Having the patterns, and drums styles are a great creative motivator, and most quality boards have all the sounds you'd need for an average project. For more specific things, there are soft synths. In the programming category, I think Korg has the most to offer. It's a deep architecture for synth creation, and sound manipulation. Yamaha has great samples, but less tweak-ability. (in the arrangers)

To go even simpler - With all the sounds, and loops I have in Logic, I can record almost any project with a simple midi controller (Akai MPK-249) and my trusty iMac.

Nice find Bachus. She is obviously a very talented performer. Enjoyed it.

With all these comments, and side notes I find it mildly amusing that the original title of "One Man Band" is spotlighting the musings of a woman.
Rock on, sister.

This is why the younger generation has no interest in arranger keyboards.... Too much other gear out there to make music.
