Hey, I see I finally became a full-fledged member! Did I win a prize? Or, do I have to pay dues now?

By the way...I have finished the first 20 gospel styles, curtesy of Roland and Solton, and wonder if I should post them now, or wait and add short sequenced hymns to each one. If you all have had enough of my playing, then let me know here at the forum, and I will send them to Frank Bez for posting. But, some folks may be curious as to what styles will go well with certain hymns and would like samples to consider. What do you think?

Hi Bud ! CONGRATULATIONS on becoming Fully Fledged! You don't have to pay any dues, however I believe the correct procedure is to buy a bottle of Vintage Champagne, PoP the cork and gently pour the contents into the Serial port of your PC, while running your email program and send a glass to all members of the forum
With regard to your styles etc. I would suggest you post both styles and sample hymns together. If people don't want to play the hymns then that is up to the individual but at least, you have given them the choice.

Hi bud
I would love to have your gospel styles and hymns as well, always been a lover of this type of music,I dont think you should pour anything down your serial port though,I have an old computer I will try to send some to you.
Thanks Mike

My vote is for styles and songs. I would love to hear both. Thanks.

BUD .PLEASE,I would also enjoy these styles the last ones were great, THANKS benno

I'm looking forward to downloading your gospel styles, Bud - I have used many of the styles you have previously supplied and have catalogued them all. Having sequenced hymns as well would be good, but I can usually match songs to styles fairly well. A compromise could be just to suggest hymns that could use the styles.

Mike

POP!!! Here's my champagne toast to you as a "Member" (no longer "Junior"!) Yea! Seriously, I'm looking forward to any styles that you can provide us; every one I have heard and used so far has been fabulous and you are great to share with us all! Keep all the messages flowing; this Forum is almost as much fun as playing the 6500!!

Hi Full Fledge Member Bud,
Just proves that if you talk enough, you'll get something out of life.
I enjoy your playing as well as the styles that you send, my vote (such as it is, since I am only a Junior Member) is both. Thanks again for your time and talent and participating in the best forum in the world.
Best Regards,
Dave Shively

Ah! a full member eh!! well, now you have to make twice as many conversions as before, otherwise we send the Yamaha police around!

Yes, Bud, please post the gospel styles. Like others, I've enjoyed your previous contributions, tweaked them a little for my tastes, and resaved. They sound great. I enjoy gospel styles with some non-gospel songs.
Larry

HI, Bud, I'm so glad to hear you've been working on the gospel stuff. I would really be interested in what styles you use for hymns. Those are hard to find. So I would rather wait for that.....except I don't want to overwork you.

Marilyn

PS Congratulations on losing the "JR" status!

Bud,

The support you have given this site and others.....you deserve "Knighship".

Keep me on your list.

cheers,

Greetings from the U.K. Yes, I would like to hear your gospel styles. I play in a traditional catholic church. I still have a KN800 midied up to an Allen two manual "traditional" electronic organ. By careful use of a couple of blocks of polystyrene placed either side of the manuals the KN800 is place on these and hey presto! nobody knows the difference! I cannot do that with my KN6000 because it is too large. Some times I use the sequencer to play the Allen..the Wedding march and Halleluia chorus sounds quite impressive!The 6000 is occasionally used for special occasions i.e First communion, confirmation and Christmas, together with a Torque amplifier and speakers. If you have any registrations for church use,(for the 6000) I would be most gratefull...Alan. (aged 54)

Hi Bud
Congratulations on becoming a member.
I would love to hear your gospel styles to please post them thanks in advance

Sorry for the delay on the Gospel styles. I found that I didn't have nearly enough 3/4 styles, so it's back to the drawing board. I have a stack of old, old (non-Technics)styles that aren't good for much of anything, so I'll dig into those and see what I can find. Instead of trying to find a slightly different sound, I will use a standard set of pianos and organ set-ups with each style, and that will speed up the process, somewhat.

Bud, Congrats! Everybody is so happy for you and so am I. As a new member I'm kind of in the dark. At 75 years old I'm a new junior member. What does it take to be a FULL member? For heavens sake, I'm 5'2 with eyes of blue sporting a 45 inch waist line. I eat three squares a day plus snacks. Isn't that full enough? Would you please consider sending me your gospel stuff. I need all the help I can get along those lines.

Grandpa Doug

Bud & Gunnar,
Any chance that your gospel styles will be converted to the KN5000 so I can use them on my PR702? Gunnar, are you paying attention? Maybe you could convert them for us that are left out in the cold and post them on your website! How exciting that would be!
Carol

Douglas the title Junior Member just means you have posted less than 30 messages on the forum. It's simply a way to tell who are frequent users of the forum. You will automatically become a full Member over time.

Yes Carol, I'm paying attention

So far there is no easy way to convert from KN6/6500 to KN5000 or
other KN's.
As long as I "only" have a KN5000 myself, I can't play those styles,
and don't have any idea of how those styles sound at all.
But if I understand Bud correctly, this is converted styles that he
have tweaked and adjusted to fit his taste, so maybe some of the material
is among the stuff at my site already?

Another big problem is that one of my free webspace providers closing
down the service, so if I shall continue the free downloadservice, I
have quite a lot of work to do before the 15th of June

Nigel,

Thanks for the info. I did know I had to post a number of times but not the number itself. The part about three squares plus snacks was just trying to add a little humor to a somewhat dull question. Thanks again.

Grandpa Doug

Sissle, the kn6k styles are playable with the PR903/603 ensembles, but I don't know about the 702. I would suppose you've already tried them out. A lot of the styles I redo are directly off internet sites, Gunnar's included. You can download a lot of stuff from the Technics Player List site, but the last time I tried the site, I couldn't get in, so it may have closed. If I remember right, you lack a composer on your machine, but can play styles someone else converts for you. You should visit Gunnar Jonnys site and look for the kn5k styles. Maybe they will work, but if not, you should get your order in right now for a new kn7k, and let all of us know how nice it is. I've heard the end of October is when they will be out.

Hi Bud & Gunnar,
Bud, my 702 has the Composer function, but I haven't learned how to use it yet. Was hoping to get to that part in the near future. I just mastered burning CD's, and am having a ball playing around with that. As far as Gunnar's site, I have been there many times and downloaded almost everything he has posted there. It is such a great service that he provides for us Technics users! There is no way we can all thank him enough for all the hours and TLC he has put into his website just for us! He has enriched our lives beyond belief! For those of you who have never visited Gunnar's site, I highly recommend it! As far as the KN7000 is concerned, I think I have to learn my PR first! However, I have toyed with the idea as a second instrument, but will wait to see what it sounds like.

Gunnar, sorry to hear that you are going to lose one of your free servers. Wish there was some way we could help you perform all the tasks you need to do by June 15th so you can keep your website open. It is tops in my books!

Carol
