Oh, I like this.Ignatius wrote:The Live setting is for those of us who have not had the time or patience to delve into the details of the Set Lists, who are not looking for particular sounds, and who are focused more on playing the provided instruments as if you had them all in front of you at the same time, there in the room.
So of the three settings, one holds my pianos, one epianos, and the other organs. Three simple buttons and I navigate among three favorite instruments (an upright, a Rhodes and the B3) set up minimally, like I like them: the acoustic piano eq'd to my sound system, the Rhodes with tremolo only, the B3 set up to respond to live drawbars. Easy to add effects on the fly, though I don't add many.
In any one of the settings, I can move to the array of alternatives easily, and back again, as I prefer to do.
One day I will put in the time to master the many, many features I am not using, but in them meantime, my dream board, really, especially when I am playing the pianos on my Yamaha 88 via midi.
On occasion, we throw in a request or an old set list number or a completely unrehearsed song we've never played (it's not that daunting with a lot of country music!). Having basic patches (piano, Hammond and Wurli in my case) one touch away would be nice rather than scrolling around the set list looking for a song that has, for example, a Wurli.
Thanks!
