Sorry to trouble y'all with this stuff, but it seems like a good place to start and if things go well, I may be here more often - almost as much as I am on guitar and poetry forums, so be warned. It's not that we won't spring for more sophisticated equipment if we decide to go this route more fully, but for a couple of guys who are just dipping our toes into these waters, it seems to make sense to start with what we have before diving into our already stretched pockets. Information I've found online is pretty elusive on this question, although the unit does have USB out and "supports General MIDI and XGlite" which is darn near Greek to me at this point.Īnd is there a way to use this instrument for live control of said tracks (versus, say, loading tracks created with this or other instruments into loop pedals and/or dedicated controllers)? Being flexible on the fly in live performance is important to both of us. I'm not even really sure of the questions I need to ask, but the basic ones are this: is this a reasonable instrument for creation of really, really minimal electronic sounds? We recognize that there's vastly superior stuff out there, of course, but we're both inveterate tinkerers and would love to work with what we have before going further. The Keyboard in question is the above mentioned Yamaha PSR E403. One of the things we've discussed is using a simple keyboard that Faro (the other guy, of course) has to generate sounds and also for some live performance as well.
#Yamaha psr e403 how to
We're most concerned with how to translate that new sound into live performance. Yamaha even added ventilation ports to the on board speakers to help reduce speaker rattle. In particular, we really liked using the assignable knobs and pitch wheel for tweaking sounds in real time. The assignable knobs, pitch wheel, six-track recorder, and new look are all nice touches. We're pretty much OK on home digital recording techniques and have done some experimentation around creating electronic tracks in programs like Garageband and Acid Music and adding them to our more organic sound although we're just starting out, I'm confident that we'll get there in time. The Yamaha PSR-E403 is a nice leap up from the PSR-E313. We've released a couple of CDs which have done moderately well and are used to simple recording and lots of live performance.įor our third CD, we want to "fatten up" the sound a little bit and add in some simple electronic textures (beats, etc this is still a wide open topic for us). I'm the poet part of the group, although I'm also a guitarist myself. I'm part of a duo that does a rather odd mix of performance poetry backed with electric bass and nylon string guitar. I'm writing with an extremely naive bunch of questions, so please bear with me.
Hi folks.nice to be here hope it will be a lengthy experience!
