Thanks guys for your favourable comments and Chas for your
in depth observations,constructive criticism is ALWAYS welcome,
and gives me something to try to improve on and hopefully post
the result at some point.Yes Bill,the voices were the Roland
JzVoiceDat.

Gee, I relate to all the comments made.
I am my most harsh critic, and coming from a piano background, I always yearn for slightly heavier keys than those on arrangers (mine included), which, with the lighter touch, tend to keep me in front of the beat at times.
I am forever striving to keep with/behind the beat, nothing worse tha being ahead of it.
Nice job Terry, and take note of the constructive comments which will only improve the end result, (from one,seeking that same result).

Hi Ray,by coincidence of you mentioning the arranger keys,I have
always had my Roland E80 key velocity set at low.As a result from
the comments to my post I have set them to high and find that I can hear the tempo of the style a lot better.The metronome was set to 1 bar count in so I changed that to off which seems a lot better.Still working on it.

Playing rhythmically accurately extremely lightly is one of the hardest things to do, particularly at the wrist angle that piano playing forces on you… Accordions have the wrist in a far more natural angle and very rapid runs and arpeggios seem a lot easier (plus the much smaller width of the keys is a big help) plus your finger strength has little to do with volume and tone.

But a velocity sensitive keyboard needs a fair range of force from you to deliver good dynamics and rhythmic accuracy. Sure, setting the curve to light allows you to appear you are playing harder, but also makes playing quieter much harder, as there is so little range between loud and soft now. I tend to find medium curves work best for general sounds, but piano and Rhodes work better for me on hard curves.

The trick is to not set your keyboard’s overall velocity to one thing or the other, but program the curve on a registration by registration basis if your keyboard allows it.
