PRACT_GS Practice Giant Steps FIX

GIANT STEPS practice tool.

I needed to practice Giant Steps in all 12 keys, for no good reason , so I created a stage setting that will play the changes with drums in every key with a piano sound to play over them.

Here are the steps you have to take to get this Stage Setting working on your PX-5S

Download the 3 phrase files (GIANT_DR.ZPH, GIANT_BA.ZPH, GIANT_EP.ZPH) and the stage setting (PRACT_GS.ZPF)

Load the Phrase files into the PX-5S in this order and to these Phrase number slots:

GIANT_DR - 500

GIANT_BA - 501

GIANT_EP - 502

Load the Stage Setting, PRACT_GS into whatever slot you have available in your Stage Settings on the PX-5S

Play any key between B0-Bb0 (lowest octave of keyboard) to start the song...at the end of 8 measures you have to retrigger to play it again. Most people play the song starting on B major so the low B starts the sequence in the original key.

The stage setting is saved at a fast tempo, if you're new to this song, you should slow the tempo down A LOT using either the tap tempo button or just changing the tempo manually.

If you try this out, please let me know it worked for you.

I hadn't played Giant Steps in years, it was driving me a little crazy getting back up to speed with it, this stage setting has helped me.
