I want to store only voice so that I can use it while playing in ACMP mode. The problem is that each time I press those bank buttons where my voice is saved , the style that was saved along with the voice get selected. I want to use different voices while playing in ACMP mode but it should come from the memory banks. I don't know about higher PSR series but it should be possible to do this.
best mode for storing voices are..... just press songs button... when u are in song file start saving you voices needed by you.... remember not to play that song file... start saving your voices... by pressing bank then 1 button to its right(bank + 1 regestration button) you one voice is saved .... repeat the process with other three buttons.... then go to styles button... play any style... select your voice... play it as u lyk.... remember transpose will remain the same... as voice were saved
As with the prior models, you have 2 handy live control knobs to which you can use to make on the fly adjustments to cutoff/resonance, reverb/chorus or your DSP1/DSP2 effects, and you can choose to have these knobs affect the main voices or the style.
My name is Jan and I'm from Sweden. I'm converting and creating Dance/Trance styles to Yamaha PSR-S910, PSR-S750/PSR-S950, Tyros3, and Tyros4. I've been playing keyboard since I was 14. My first keyboard was a little brown thing called Yamaha porta sound.
(Oct 2013) The Custom Dance and Trance Collection includes 27 new styles. All styles have Drum-fill-ins, Break, Intros and Endings, and also 4 OTS settings. Keep in mind that some styles with 2 Intros and 2 Endings are Custom made. This means that the Intro II, and Ending II, are playable in many (not all) different chords, but Intro III, and Ending III are locked to the original song chords. For example: The style EthnoHouse is made from the song "Stereo Love" with Edward Maya. So the Intro III, and Ending III is only playing the original chords of the song (C#m).
Another thing to keep in mind is that the two styles named Rekenium2 and RekeniumDance, have the ArabicMixturekit in drumchannel 2 (Rhytm2). The Tyros 3 and Tyros 4 do not have that kit. So, I remade the drums and renamed them with T3 in the end. I also custom changed the parameters for the effects in the Bass for the RazorDance style. (Note: You can check out Jan playing his Dance styles on his YouTube channel.)
Note: The Euro Dance Pack and my new Custom Styles of Dance/Trance are in the SFF2 format and, thus, only for these models PSR-S910, PSR-S950/750, PSR-S970/770, Tyros 3/4/5. Patrick Hannequin converted most of the new dance styles to the SFF1 format so they can be played on earlier keyboards. Patrick's conversiosn are available below:
Here are a wonderful free Yamaha styles pack, they are suitable for every PSR keyboard, these ones was especially designed for the PSR-8000 but it is compatible with almost all Yamaha PSR series. All styles have four variations and they are in total 82 styles!
I am also looking for that for several years. I could not find any arrangers yet with factory made styles of that time signatures. Please let me know if you find. You can make any styles using workstations like Kronos.
hi frnds my name is robin, every sunday i play keyboard in my rc cartholic church plzzzz i want christian song styles very urgent plzzz
my phone num is 7601005756
my email is rexrobin250@gmail. com
plzz very urgent
Hi,
they should be compatible, but PSR 8000 styles have only 2 variations while your instrument supports up to 4 variation, 3 intros and 3 endings. You should be able to load more complex styles like the ones for the PSR S9xx and Tyros models.
If you are talking about Yamaha styles there are some free tools to listen to them, but beware that the sound quality is not comparable with what you can achieve on your keyboard, so my suggesiton is to download what you need and listen to the styles directly on your keyboard.
You can definitely change the tones and styles quite independently. This has been a feature of practically all keyboards since 1980s!
In new keyboards, you can infact configure the parts of each style (bass, drum, backing) to different instruments than the default ones. Imagine tweaking the basic Waltz style to play using Techno instruments like Synth Bass and Synth-Leads!!
hi,
i have to gift a keyboard to a guitarist who is into composing and singing.the person is not into playing keyboard but wish to do recordings by connecting it wid computer.i saw casio ctk-810 in the market.can u please vry urgently suggest me if its gud or not.wat will be the quality of recordings in it.also the basic yamaha models do not have usb and memory card features which casio 810 has.so plz suggest me
Both the CTK-4000 and CTK-5000 allow you to sample external sounds and use them as Tones or Rhythms.
While the CTK-4000 can store about 13 seconds of audio (shared between 5 tones and 5 styles), I think the CTK-5000 can do a little better.
No confusion really. The Korg X5D is a very dated synth (released in 1996, 8MB Sound bank) and supports true-synthesis capabilities with up-to 100 user designed sounds.
The Yamaha PSRi425 on the other hand is a home/studio keyboard featuring latest sound bank (Wave ROM).
Since the keyboards only feature a USB MIDI port, they cannot be used to connect and control an old style tone-generator that uses only DIN style MIDI ports. However, despair not. There now exists USB-to-MIDI convertors which allow Keyboard to Tone-Generator connections. Typical retail price is between $25-$50.
Yamaha offers keyboards in the PSR series that are priced up-to 55K (there are more expensive keyboards too). Such keyboards build greatly on the styles, arpeggio, buttons & sliders for real-time control of music etc. The Yamaha PSR 550 and the Tyros series offer sounds & control that is suitable for production of music for Indian cinema!
Personally I like the Yamaha i425 rhythms better. They feel modern, accented and more human performer like.
But the Casio CTK-5000 has more number of rhythms, allows customisation and recording of audio clips for use a rhythm.
Your question is too specific for me to answer since I do not own a Yamaha i425 keyboard. All I know is that the keyboard supports 2GB pendrives formatted using the FAT file-system.
The keyboard also supports MIDI and SMF format files for playback from the USB stick (someone please confirm this).
i have gone through my comments on this blog & came across to that many people have great confusion on purchasing keyboard casio ckt 5000 or yamaha psr i425 now, i want to add my views to it that if you want a keyboard with in budget+power packed then casio is for you and if you want brand image+good packed then yamaha is for you as recently i have purchased roland e09 which is very good earlier i am also in confusion but i came across it and buy it
Another factor to consider is that many feel that the Yamaha keyboard is more responsive and the Casio keys are soft and slow. While I did not find it so, only your playback style will determine the suitability of the keyboard.
Hello Sir.
I am a student . My age is 13 yrs and I am a professional player of keyboard, guitar and octopad. I want to take a new keyboard and my budget is till Rs. 10000. I am confused between Casio Ctk-810IN , Casio CTK-5000 and Yamaha PSR-i425 Please suggest me a good one.
Dear rajib
On paper casio CTK5000 scores over Psr i425 both in features and price but in terms professional quality of sound output(voice as well as rhythm) which one is better? which one is suitable for hindi song playing?
if i can strech my budget which is next best best model? what is your opinion on wk3300 model?
Rajibda
What is scaring me is that so far i could not get a single video featuring a good hindi song on casio ctk5000 or wk500. where as in yamahaPSR there are many.. this only says that people are strongly in favour of yamaha brand.. do you know any site where hindi songs are featured on casio please let me know ..
thanks again
An electronic keyboard uses the same keyboard style as a harmonium which is used in classical indian music.
Before the harmonium, rabindra sangeet was performed using Organs. The performer used their feet to pump the air-bellows and used both hands to perform chord and lead parts on the keyboard. The harmonium changed that being portable, but required one hand to pump air and the other to play.
In such case, it is important to realize that more than number of tones, styles or any other feature, he needs a keyboard that offers full size keys and optionally piano like feel (semi-weighted keys).
hlw rajab . .i have a yamaha psr e 413 and i am new to this hobby .i want to sing along with piano and save .how can i use mic in 413 and how can i record my voice? its very necessary for me .please suggest
2. u have mastered all the aspects of the keyboards in question, mainly the CTK 5000 n Yamaha PSR i425 n similar models. I appreciate ur straight forward attitude in calling a spade a spade, n own up ur ignorance if u dont know about a thing / item. Thats good.
My purpose of buying the keyboard is to quickly conjure up a sound track for my animated films. Here in Duesseldorf, Germany a Casio ctk-5000 and a Yamaha PSR-E423 roughly costs the same (i425 is not available).
I m a regular reader of your comments on the above topics. I realy found those advises so good,which shows the new learners right and worthy way. I m realy becomes your fan.
Rajib da, recently we open an orchestral group in my native place and I want your advice for best keyboard(casio/yamaha/roland/korg). which one suit better for indian music consisting great sound quality on stage and having at least 6 sound banking buttons system in a sequence i.e, 1,2,3,4,5,6,(1-strings, 2-sexo, 3-accordian, 4-piano, 5-flute, 6-sitar, etc). I m not worrying about the budget, u just suggest me the best one.
Dear Rajib da, i am going to buy a yamaha psr key board. then plz suggest me which one is better i425 or e423. I am confused which one i should buy. I am eagerly waiting your reply.
