Titling on PSR 540 & wrong drum sounds on QY70

Titling on PSR 540 & wrong drum sounds on QY70

Post by De Souza, Placidus [ENC:CLG2:EXCH » Fri, 03 Nov 2000 01:47:31



1. I edit the sequences on a laptop with Cakewalk Pro Audio 9. The title can
be seen and played using a QY70 sequencer without any problem. However, when
I use the floppy on a Yamaha PSR540 the selections show us as "Untitled".
How do I save it in the proper format to be recognized on the PSR 540 and in
a chronological list.

2. Played the edited sequences using Winamp and onboard SB128 internal synth
sounds correct with a pretty good drum sound. However, when I play it
through the QY70 the drum sound is not the same and actually sounds verey
amateurish.

Please advise and thanks in advance.

  I'll pass on that one -- it might be one that requires sysex to
display song info, or else requires it to be in a specific slot in the
file, rather than the Cakewalk "Title" area.  I'm fairly sure that
chronological uses the order that the files are created on the disk --
you may need to write files one at a time to get the right result.

  QY70 uses an MU15 (I think) or so synth, whose extended drum map
will be different in GM and XG mode than the SB128 (which I believe
uses a compact Roland GS map).  Simple solution would be to mix your
songs using the QY70 as output, using the instrument map it uses, or
using one of the XG drum kits (with an XG reset to set it up) to get
additional sounds.

  Different synths have different sounds, especially once you get
outside of the GM range.  You have to take this into account when
mixing your files, to set them up for the synth they'll be played on.

1. A question about Yamaha PSR-540 and PSR-340

Hello,
   I've recently decided to get a keyboard to start improving my
playing skills. After shopping around and reading very useful reviews
on this and other newsgroups I am now almost sure I will buy a Yamaha
PSR-540.

   Unfortunately I couldn't find a place where I can hear both PSR-540
and PSR-340. The only concern I have is that PSR-340 has a "Portable
Grand" button that apparently prepares all the settings for a good
grand piano sound. Now my question is : is PSR-540 able to generate
piano sound with at least the same quality as PSR-340 by adjusting the
appropriate settings or "Portable Grand" is a "real" feature that is
something more than just setting adjustment, e.g. more wave ROM?

   I also couldn't try PSR-540 and PSRGX76 at the same place. Since I
still can't hear the subtle differences in the sounds, I had trouble
comparing their piano sounds. Does anybody have any experience about
comparing the voice quality (esp. grand piano) of these two keyboards?

Thanks a lot for your time.
