Kurzweil PC3 step sequencer demo

Short demo of the step sequencer of the Kurzweil PC3 with self made electro sounds. I tried to play a bit of 'Machines' from Georgio Moroder in the soundtrack 'Metropolis' by Fritz Lang. I was quite bored of seeing always pianos and EP's sounds from the Kurz' on YouTube, that's why i did this.... Hope you'll enjoy ! ;-)

Digital Piano Buyer's Guide - How to Choose

!±8± Digital Piano Buyer's Guide - How to Choose

First, you must decide why you want a digital piano. If you know of the term digital piano, you've probably already decided that you want one because it more closely emulates the sound and feel of a real piano. The digital piano you should buy depends on your current skill level, goals, and budget. They can range from ~400 to 20,000 dollars, and the quality increases with price, though with diminishing returns. Let's get into the features you should look for:

Weighted Keys

The major difference between a digital piano and a keyboard is that the former have weighted keys. This means that inside the piano there are counterweights on the backs of all the keys that force the key upwards and make it harder to push down. This emulates the hammers attached to the keys of a piano. The best digital pianos have realistic "hammer action" that closely resemble the feeling of playing a grand piano. Another thing to look for is something called graded action. This means that keys at the bottom of the piano feel heavier than keys in the middle, and keys at the top feel lighter. This is another feature that makes digital pianos feel like acoustics. If you are buying a digital piano because you want something that approximates an acoustic, then you absolutely need these features. Be warned, the key action of every piano is different, and some are better than others. Make sure you read reviews or test a digital piano before you buy it. Some low-end digital pianos will advertise that they are "velocity sensitive," or "velocity graded." This means that if you hit a note harder it will play louder. This is not the same as having weighted keys, and it comes standard in all digital pianos.

Sampled Sounds

In order to sound like the real thing, digital pianos use sound recorded from an actual grand piano. This isn't as simple as it sounds because there is a lot of technology that goes into transforming that recording into something that sounds realistic on your keyboard. If you play one note on a real piano at different sound levels, the note doesn't just get louder and quieter; the sound itself actually changes. The louder you play a note, the harsher and less smooth it sounds. This is a change in timbre, which refers to the quality of a sound, or technically, the combination of many different frequencies to produce an audio pattern. It's the same thing that makes each person's voice sound unique. To capture this effect, digital piano makers sample the sound at several different levels. They then use software to blend these samples into a continuum of changing sound. When looking for a piano, more samples are better, and some s have special technology that makes the sound more realistic in other ways. Again, every piano will sound different, and some sound more realistic than others.

Polyphony

This is how many notes can be played at once. This is especially important if you're playing something in which you hold down the sustain pedal while playing many notes; they'll quickly add up. A good number to have is 64 or 128, but you only need 128 if you're going to be playing some classical music with very fast passages while sustaining notes.

How many keys?

Digital pianos typically come in 61, 76, or 88 keys. Obviously, you have less notes and range to play around in if you don't opt for the full 88, but those pianos will let you transpose the notes up or down an octave. You don't really need the full 88 except for a relatively few number of classical pieces. Personally, I don't like to be limited if I can avoid it, so I'd never get a piano with less than 88 keys.

Speakers

Different digital pianos come speakers of varying power and quality. Some, both cheap and expensive, don't come with speakers at all. Make sure you know whether or not the piano you buy has speakers and that they will be powerful enough for your needs. Keep in mind that you can always output the sound to better speakers in the future.

Instruments and Effects

There is a lot of variation in the digital piano market here. They all have different amounts of instruments (or voices) and rhythm tracks. The quality of these voices varies greatly, so if this is a factor in your purchase, you need to try them out yourself. There is also an array of effects that can come with a digital piano. Some let you mix and match voices, record, and store songs and settings.

Tuning Capabilities

Some pianos have the ability to change tuning, temperament (frequency distance between each note), and can transpose to different keys. These are very useful for playing in bands or with other people.

Connectivity

All digital pianos come with different audio jacks. Most have two stereo outs, two stereo ins, and a MIDI out and in. Some have USB and SD card connectivity.

Conclusion

Now you are acquainted with all of the features common to digital pianos. If you are a beginner or intermediate-level pianist, I'd recommend an entry-level piano such as the Yamaha P-95 or Casio PX-330. These pianos cost about 0, but they are very good for the price. The sound will satisfy all but the most advanced of ears, and the key action is much better than lower priced pianos. I prefer the PX-330 because it has far more voices and rhythms than the P95, along with more features for playing on stage or in a band.

Roland Juno Stage Synth Demo - Nevada Music UK

www.nevadamusic.co.uk The Juno Stage is a synthesizer keyboard that has primarily been designed to benefit live performances by combining great live features with some of Roland's latest innovative technologies. Firstly the keyboard has 76 notes - 61 deemed to be not quite enough whilst 88 notes would arguably make the keyboard too heavy for easy transportation. There's also a host of fabulous sounds that includes a fantastic 88 not sampled Concert Grand piano, some cool sounding electric pianos and razor sharp sampled horns - but these are just a few of the 1283 sound patches and 41 drum kits within the Juno Stage. It's also possible to expand the range by adding Roland's range of SRX expansion cards ... As far as the manipulation of sound goes in a live environment Roland have included a "Favourites" list where you can store all of your most commonly used patches - plus you can also recall your patches via an optional dual footswitch that connects to a dedicated Patch Select jack, so you never have to take your hands off the keyboard... There are Master Control knobs on the dashboard of the keyboard for EQ and Reverb so that these can be adjusted quickly and efficiently, a USB port and Song Player function enables direct playback and control of backing tracks from a USB key. The Juno can play MP3, WAV, AIFF, and SMF files, and even use the Center Cancel feature to reduce pre-recorded vocals for karaoke-style performances (Ugh ...!!!).

5 Uses of the iPod Touch

!±8± 5 Uses of the iPod Touch

The iPod Touch is not only just a music player; it does more than that. It's just that not many people have thought of how this device can be a useful gadget beyond the reason that it was created for. Read on and you will now see this gadget in a new light, besides bringing it to more places with you.

1. Portable storage device
The iPod Touch has quite a huge memory of at least 8GB. Higher versions come in 16Gb and 32GB. 8GB should be more than enough to store your important documents, files and even a number of movies. With this, you don't have to lug around a portable external hard drive anymore.

2. Mobile portfolio
If you are a photographer, designer or maybe a writer, you can store your portfolio inside your iPod Touch. Imagine how convenient it is when in the middle of a conversation, someone mentions that he or she needs a designer or a photographer for an event. VoilĂ , whip out your iPod and impress them right away.

3. Blogging on the spot
With wifi connection, anything is possible with the iPod Touch. Capture an image or a video, upload it to your blog right away and add a few words. Similarly, do this to your Facebook as well. If your Twitter is synced with your Facebook, it's even better. Nail three birds with one stone!

4. Photography
It's funny how most people never thought of their iPod Touch as a camera. They don't realise that the image quality that they get out of this gadget is most often far better than what they get from their camera phones. With this, the images now serve as your photo collection, portfolio and blog content.

5. Use it as a phone
It is possible to use your iPod Touch as a phone. You need to install VoIP applications such as SIP-VoIP. If you opt to go without the installation of these applications, the least you could do is to make Skype calls, which is itself a cost-free method of communication. On top of the VoIP application, you also need to have a Touchmod mic which comes in the form of either a simple dongle or a headphone-and-mic combo. The iPhone headphones don't work with the iPod Touch, so that's why you need the Touchmod mic instead.

There you go, you now have five more ways and five more good reasons to spend more time on your iPod Touch!

How To Sell My Music Online? Make A Music Website

!±8± How To Sell My Music Online? Make A Music Website

Let's have a look of your situation then... maybe you are a great singer or you have a small band or even your own label. You have big ideas but only a tiny budget. Your father doesn't own a record company and your mother isn't a Hollywood actress so your network is confined to the local press writers and groupies.

Maybe you already have your own CD's and have made a few sales but you can't seem to find the time for promotion. The gigs you play bring in a little money but things don't seem to be getting anywhere. So how to progress?

One very realistic option is to exploit the potential of the internet. Of course, the internet has often been cited as the answer to everything, but in this case, it really can provide impressive results. And this is the key: it's a cheap and it's quick.

The music industry is changing, has changed. We are in serious transition now. The discontent amongst music buyers has created a gap which the internet can adequately fill.

The internet music market is real. A survey by Georgia Tech found 41% of all internet users have purchased music from the web. Forrester predicted a market volume of million USD for digital music downloads in 2003, rising to 1 million USD in 2005 and continuing to reach billion USD in 2007.

The statistics suggest there is a genuine market for legal, modestly priced music.

The internet is a perfect platform for marketing your music. Promotions, press releases and
positioning are cheaper here than in the real world. Your audience is already here. The web
(along with sites like pitchforkmedia) has become the first point of reference for music news and as we all know, it is a popular resource for downloading music.

The internet's function as a communication medium gives you a direct line to your listeners, peers and even your critics. Email is the perfect mechanism for keeping in touch with fanclubs and sending newsletters and it's cheap.

That doesn't mean if you start a music website today and get busy selling music downloads online that you'll be able to give up the day job immediately! However, the internet can provide a lot of things you need to promote yourself as a musical artist.

This is what a music website could do for you:

1. Provide news to your fans when your latest CD is ready, read it here!

2. List gigs or concert dates (and any changes)

3. Sell your songs as music downloads to fans all over the world

4. Provide press information

5. Publish interviews, photos and biographies

6. Provide a communication center for dialogue with fans and other bands

7. Act as a "calling card" for getting new bookings or attracting the attention of major labels, getting contracts for incidental music etc.

A website can represent your music in multimedia much better than print or radio, and it is much cheaper than TV. And you can sell your songs as music downloads anywhere in the world! Consider the comparatively low start up costs (for example, the 1-2-3 Music Store script lets you set up a complete "shop" and costs only 8 for a label license and only for an individual or band).

Music downloads are emerging as a serious alternative to the CD. In an age where most modern
kids burn their own CDs, it makes sense to adjust your strategy accordingly. Selling songs as moderately priced downloads means you have no production costs. It means you don't need a record deal and you are free to do what you want with your music. Package a CD cover along with the songs and your fans can burn the CDs themselves.

Buying music downloads is potentially a more satisfying buying experience than traditional music shops. It provides instant satisfaction for consumers when they discover, download and play your songs immediately.

The internet is an amazingly flexible format. Theoretically, you could record a live show, encode and upload it later that evening so that the entire show would be available for sale the next day. Fans would love to have this as a reminder of a great concert. Better than a T-shirt!

Seriously consider setting up your own music website and selling your music online. A music website is often the first port of call for people - fans, label managers and A&R to check you out. It makes good sense for you, as an unsigned artist to have one.

Battle Of The Acoustic Piano Digital Piano Vs compose music for

!±8± Battle Of The Acoustic Piano Digital Piano Vs compose music for

People to use a piano to compose music is to say: "A piano is an instrument like a keyboard instrument, strings and percussion is assigned," and would not be wrong. But if someone said he composed the music of a piano, is portable and easy to move and then have to roll with a moving company. What would be their opinion is correct when a digital piano that is portable and can be used to compose music with him. What would you describe your music for composingacoustic piano or digital? This is the struggle of an acoustic piano vs. digital piano!

The standard acoustic piano has always been popular for composing music, even if the intentions were to play music on another instrument. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart was a talented pianist and violinist. He used his piano has recognized more than 600 works, many of the peaks of symphonic, concertante, chamber music, piano, opera and choral music. His music is timeless, inspiring manyMusicians of the past, present and future.

Regarding the acoustic piano you can understand how the sound resonates from its design. Strings of different lengths and tensions that have struck by hammers to produce the sounds of a piano that has calmed the wild animals. If you press a key on the piano, because you're one in a string of hammers inside the piano that is tuned to a particular sound affected. Due to the fact that the achievement of creating a string does not that sound a loud, pianos areequipped with special sound cards, pieces of wood concave, re-transmission of sound vibrations from the strings are taking advantage of the best. The acoustic piano is a wonderful tool, but it lacked portability.

If you have a digital piano vs. an acoustic piano will compare both have roughly the same sound, although it is always difficult to distinguish between them. Both have the same action in the key of the technique is now available on digital. And both cancalled to play with three foot pedals Damper, soft light pedals and Sun. In these days, but people seem to compose music on a piano things like cost, portability and functionality of a digital piano like best.

A digital piano uses digital recordings of acoustic piano sound, which are stored in a memory. The emulation of which recorded sounds are then electronically mimic the acoustic piano sounds are processed and vary with different effects. The sound isthen through the system board digital piano and is amplified by speakers in the same piano or through a set of external speakers to the back of the piano. If you do not want to bother anyone in the composition, there is also a headphone port.

Appears in the battle of the digital piano vs. an acoustic piano, both for the same purpose, but the digital piano more to offer. If you consider the price, portability and usefulness of digital pianoshas the acoustic piano. But with the rich sound that is hard to duplicate digitally acoustic piano can never be replaced.

Budget: Prior to purchase you wonder how much you are willing to spend. As with any other price varies depending on the type, main characteristics and is expected to achieve. Obviously the more features and buttons that you get the higher the price.

Space: A further consideration before buying something. If you simply work from home then you can consider the size of the MIDI keyboard, you get -If you have a small room, then smaller is better. Conversely, if you have enough space then a course of more depends on whether you can afford it or not.

Type: If you want a type of controller or a piano. Types of controllers are generally smaller because they do not have speakers. That is, to be able to every sound, there must be something else attached, like a computer could listen to a digital audio workstation (DAW) program.

What is the difference between a piano keyboard, digital or acoustic?

!±8± What is the difference between a piano keyboard, digital or acoustic?

Keyboards:

Keyboards are usually smaller than an acoustic piano full that they tend to be about 61 keys (4 or 5 octaves), and have a full acoustic has 88 keys (6 octaves). The biggest advantage is that the keyboard is portable, allows a wider range of sounds, because to change the sound and the ability to provide interaction with the computer via MIDI or USB.

When playing a keyboard you will notice that the keys are slightly smaller andIndeed it easier to push a real piano. This process may take some time to get used to a pianist who has played on an acoustic guitar. The reason is that the acoustics are difficult because the trigger, the hammer hits the string and makes noise, while the keyboard is not necessary that you take this action. Since the keys are lighter and smaller keyboards are sometimes better for younger children.

Digital Pianos:

Digital pianos are a mix between the keyboard and acoustic piano.Digital pianos allow more variation of sounds, because they allow for the sound change. But I'm bigger than a keyboard and are usually the same length (88 keys), as an acoustic piano.

The sound quality of a digital piano is often better than a keyboard, they usually have built-in speakers, but this also reduces the possibility of transferring to the keyboard in comparison. Digital pianos tend to "weighted keys," which feels more like an acoustic guitar, if you haveto play.

Acoustic Pianos:

Acoustic pianos are the true and original form of playing the piano. There was the piano as we know it today, has about 1700 (more history of the piano that we see our History section of the piano in the piano-article).

The concept was recently included in the acoustic piano after the creation of digital pianos. Therefore, when an acoustic piano, refers to a piano playing acoustically related, which means that the vibrationcaused by the blow of a hammer on a string. The vibrations are amplified in a council called "sound card" piano. The soundboard then distributed evenly over the sound of cash (if your plan is included) or the upper eyelid, in case of a wing.
