Topic: NKD (New Keyboard Day)

Here's a new keyboard I just got, made by YAMAHA. It has over 700 voices, including most keyboards, woodwinds, brass, strings, synths, percussion, etc. They're all very authentic sounding, and it has a jack to plug into an amp also. There's a built in multi-level looper, so I'll be able to create soundtracks to play along with on the guitar. The keys are touch-sensitive, so with one of the "Flute" settings, I can even do the over-blowing effect that Ian Anderson often does. Tons o' fun!

Re: NKD (New Keyboard Day)

No worries, Cocktails ... it was $300 (Canadian currency), and I was happily surprised at the quality for the price. Great to have you back, by the way ... missed ya!

I don't have any keyboard training, but have dinked around on them whenever there's one available. So far, I've just been doing right hand stuff (flute solos, etc.) but will need some practice to get better at it. It even has a Pitch Wheel (LH side) so I can do some Keith Emerson-style sliding in the synth settings. And the keyboard will also split, so you can have piano on the left side and flute on the right ... or any combo. Lots to learn!
