After the unfortunate refusal of my keyboard to play all of the notes it should the other week, I've decided to have an early Christmas present!It was looking extremely like a duff printed circuit board. The Korg keyboard was not exactly intuitive to use and I'd found it very hard to get to grips with.
The new one is another Yamaha and whilst it's totally different than the old one in terms of controls, at least it's easy to find your way around.
I've managed to get it to play all the backings we use in the band. The only thing I haven't found yet and suspect I may not(!) is how to turn off the bass for when Bob is with us. It may well have such a feature for music recorded on it but there seems to be no way of taking it off the pre-recorded midi files I recorded on the PSR 630. There was a separate control file that had a switch in it for that and the new keyboard doesn't recognise the control file. Could be a lot of work for me!
But the progress I made in just one afternoon was excellent and a heck of a relief after struggling with the Korg.
