BrianH Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Hi Scott Please ask Mike to show, for the less adept among us, the easiest/best ways of providing ourselves with rhythm/backing for our solo efforts. BrianH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Display Name Posted March 26, 2015 Author Share Posted March 26, 2015 I will ask him to go over creating and using a pattern. Just FYI - , the PX-5S is not designed to do accompaniment like the PX-350. I have found using an iPhone or iPad with either an drum app or a pre-made mp3/wav file is the easiest way. You can also render a wav file and play it back via the USB drive, but you need to make sure it is a 16 bit, 44.1khz file and named TAKE00, TAKE01, TAKE02, etc.. ie you can't just make an MP3 and name them whatever you want.

BrianH Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Thanks Scott for info. I would certainly be interested in how he would tackle creating a pattern for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XW-Addict Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Yup the song sequencer definitely to be creative with that one, One has to see how.It would certainly feed more creativity knowing a few simple steps towardsan performance or sound designing.

dc2k Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 I'd like it if there was a bit showing how to use the song sequencer, say a demo showing how to play a phrase using a hex layer over a drum loop phrase. This my first synth so I don't understand what 'channels', 'bank select msb' and the 'program change' parameters are and what their relationship is which seems to be key to understanding how to use the song sequencer. So if he could give some basic info about them I'd appreciate it too. That is probably basic synth stuff, not specific to to the PX5s so I'm not sure if he really wants to cover it and if he doesn't, that's cool but if he doesn't mind covering that sort of stuff and he's looking for more similar things to cover here are some other things I don't understand: The "Stretch Tune" parameters in the pitch envelope option menu for tones. The key follow and key follow base params in the the pitch envelope option for hex layers. I know he did a video using his western piano stage setting demo-ing this feature but I couldn't figure out how these params work.The Pitch locks in the hex layer edit menu.How the delay params work: The Ratios and Levels, feedback, high damp, tympo sync and the rest. What do they all mean? Cheers guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reg MidiStage Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 I' d love to see the possibilities of designing yamaha ex5 E.Piano with FDSP as per video below (timeline 5:10 to 5:33). Thank you in advanced.https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BnnNOpppzbA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Choppin Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 I'd like a detailed explanation of what the different arpeggio types mean. There's a description in the manual and some talk abou it in other vids, but I'd like to see specifically what each type does and how it affects the playback - both notes and controls (L1-L8, U1-U8, P2-P5). It could be beneficial to see some demonstrations of capturing live px-5s controller data in phrases and then playing it back. For example, recording manual wah , frequency filters, volume, modulation, etc with the levers and dials in a phrase then playing that back in a stage setting. Along the same line, it would be nice to see midi files converted using the editor into phrases and then those phrases applied and added to stage settings. This would include midi files that have controller codes in them and/or straight music/drum files. The hope is to see the controller codes (frequency swells, maybe modulation, hold pedal) run through the phrases. Can this be applied to program changes as well? Where a patch or stage setting is actually changed through a phrase? (my experiments seem to suggest this sin't possible - only certain controller codes are captured in phrases. Can a list or discussion of the possible controller codes that can be contained in a phrase be presented? Is there any way to have the volumes of the stage settings uniform? Some are so much louder than others. Is there a "smart" or global method to either design stage settings or have a common setting that keeps the volumes consistent? Can any additional effects be added to the master effects (through a firmware update perhaps) such as a limiter, and/or control of the noise gate?

Joe Muscara Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Too bad Ustream doesn't do Apple TV. It would be like having Mike in my living room! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Saucier Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 I plan to HDMI up the laptop to the 50 inch Panasonic. But I'll bet my internet goes down exactly at that time...so....meh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad Saucier Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Well Joe, I had the TV setup, but my sad internet couldn't pull off the 420p stream. The 240p stream doesn't seem to work on Ustream. If 240 worked, I might have made it. Oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Muscara Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Sorry, Brad. The only problem I had was when I forgot to keep my iPad awake and lost the connection when it went to sleep. If I had a newer Mac, I would have AirPlay-ed from that, as it's set to not go to sleep nearly as fast. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Saucier Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Hmmm... Would turning auto lock to "never" on the ipad work? or does it still sleep? I don't get much hands on time with the ipad around here. Not sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Muscara Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Yeah, I could have changed my settings so it wouldn't sleep, but didn't feel like bothering with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
