Oh oh, and another thing: The Motif has those "assignable output" ports on the back, if the whole L & R thing doesn't work, could you assign the output to those and plug it into your computer?

Hi Weezard

Correct me if I'm wrong but would I need a cable which was 1/4" jack on one end and phono the other?

Lets just not go there with the assignable thing because I am about to experience brain overload already

Yeah, I think so Lee.

Something like this maybe?: AV to RCA Cable

Or.. If you have one of these: (The Blue One)
Line-In Picture

You can get a cable that has the 1/4" on both ends, get a converter (1/4" to the small size) and plug it into your computer.

Okay Weez

I've ordered the cable ...I shall let you know (when it arrives) if I can get it to work.


Prepare yourself for more stress as I will probably need a walk through


YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!


So...back to "new songs".....


Lee

You never know with this new system I may have a few

Hmmmm, in trying to follow the instructions
I wondered why you are not using a simple
recording tool (like "total recorder") to
directly record your midi playing to a mp3
file ?

Hi Jerry,

The reason that doesn't work is because in order to hear a midi file, without routing it through the keyboard, a software synthesizer is required. The one that comes with Windows (the Microsoft GS synth) is extremely bad sounding. The good ones cost a chunk of change. It's a lot cheaper to let the keyboard's synth, (or in Lee's case, the Motif Rack), convert the midi to analog audio.

Your file is invlid

Hi Gforce007

Sorry about that, savefile deletes files that haven't been downloaded for 30 days and seeing as Sharon has bumped an old thread (which can often open up a can of worms in itself...yikes! ) the file you have tried to download has just been deleted

Anyway, I have now posted the file to my boxnet account for you to hear...

Theme From Titanic (with Strings)

Wow, Seaside Lee i dont believe that you havent a good ear
Maybe are just strings a little too quiet. Just my opinion.
Anyway, great job!

Hi pian00b

It wasn't always like this let me tell ya ...2 and a half years ago, I was sooo bad it was pitiful (even twinkle, twinkle was a bridge too far!!)

But, with Mikes help I have mostly cured my melody problems (AKA as "Seaside_Lee Affliction") and now my ear I am glad to say is very good

Now, if I can just get my rhythm problems (AKA "Seaside_Lee Affliction 2") sorted out...I'll be one happy camper

That recording was made a few months ago before I bought my new "Yamaha Motif Rack ES" and those strings are the "slow string" setting on my Yamaha CLP170...I prefer the strings that way,(gentle and in the background)...however, I can appreciate that it is not to everyones taste some of the other string settings IMHO are just like "too in yer face!!!"

However, I may record something else (someday soon) with piano and strings but, through my rack instead because, that has some fabulous string sounds.

Lee

Lee, you have a nice rack.
