Best Korg PA arranger tutorials!! These videos did spark my interest to get my feet wet with midi, which I didn't think I ever would do. Thank you very much!!
What a great work. I spend almost two weeks watching the tutorials and taking note all the things, and this is the best class in korg PA series I could ever found. Thanks a lot for taking your time to record, edit and post your tutorials. I have a PA600 and everything here is very usefull for me. Thank you.
Thank you very much Leandro. Glad you found these videos useful. You did the right thing by taking your time and all that. You can use all these techniques with your keyboard for sure.
Such an admirable and useful work; slow and deep, like true learning should be: I perceived the enthusiasm of KNOWING through my whole body :) Thank you very much.
First of all, very very thanks for the tutorial videos on Korg PA Arrangers. We would be glad if you make a video on using the Step Recording Method while creating a Style on Korg PA series keyboards. Thanks in advance. Greetings from India.
Hello. I have a request. You can provide the texts displayed in the recordings in the form of a doc file, or in the description under each video. I know very little English and I have to rewrite everything by hand to translate it. The tutorial is great! A book could be made of it. Big Thanks. Regards :)
Many Thanks for your time and effort that you put to make such tutorials. I have a basic question about these series of videos that you made about creating a style from a midi file. I spent about 40 hours to create a style for the song "wind of change" from "scorpions". Korg PA4X supports midi to style inside integrated. How well does this function? Is it reliable? Why don't you use it although you have a PA4X? Thank you.
That midi to style feature is a fully automated process. It does what it does and you can't really help it as it doesn't accept any user input. Also not every song has a decent midi file to begin with. This feature is too weak to analyze all variables and stuff in a song both melodically and harmonically. For example, here you can see the midi to style feature in action: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-O-0zPp2pHlsI.htmlt misses a lot of good content from the original midi file. It even makes mistakes....but it's still useful. For someone who's not technical , this is a totally useful feature. Sometimes you get better results with certain midi files but generally the result isn't that impressive. Obviously if you edit and create the style yourself, you get to decide everything, and you're the one who places markers for each Style element...etc.
Actually, after I wrote the previous message, I noticed that you have already made a series of 4 videos about the midi to style feature of PA4X. It was great like all of your other videos. It helped me to decide not to upgrade my PA2X to a PA4X just because of that feature. Anyways, using your creating a style from midi file video tutorials, I am making a style for the song "Wind of change" from scorpions and I have some difficulties with consolidating a guitar track which cannot get transposed properly in play mode in real time. That is why I had set that track as fixed with no transpose. I do not know if it is because of the lack of my knowledge or any other issue. If you are interested, I can send you the edited midi file which contains that track and you might be interested to make a new tutorial video to solve such problems as well. If I have encountered such case, I am sure others have already, or sooner or later will. Thank you.
Yeah it'd be interesting to look at. I don't know if I'll be able to do a video on that any time soon but it's going to be on my to do list for sure. You can contact me through my Korg's facebook page and attach the midi and style file you have .
Hi Gerhard: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-EErJS-p3AT4.html and maybe this one: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qOH1myLrLBo.html
I can't comment as I've never owned a Tyros...however I would think most of these techniques should be applicable. Too bad I can't give a better answer. Hopefully other Yamaha users will chime in
Thanks for replying. Making a style for Yamaha products is very complicated. Iv tried using free software to help convert midi to style but the chords never work or the style sounds nothing like the original midi. It hard to actually find any information or tutorials on the subject.
Around 6:00 mark, the video mentioned about creating a "Swell" effect using the "Expression" setting. I am very curious to know how to accomplish this. Would you please shine some light on this? Thank you very much!!
Sure. For Style tracks, you can use CC#11 (otherwise known as Expression Controller) to create Crescendo/DeCrescendo type of effects. Are you trying to do this in a DAW?
@@mytcfchoirok7527 It would be time consuming to enter expression values manually for a swell. I'm not in front of the keyboard at the moment to be exact, but you would normally select a track, then go to the edit page for that track. In that page, you can choose to enter a number of data such as notes or midi controllers. In this case, you would select Expression or CC#11. You would have to enter a number of them to create that swell effect.
