Tell you the truth, if you intend to do music in the computer, don't need to get expensive workstation. Now days software synthesizer is really good. If you really want a good workstation, i can sell to you mine tongue.gif.

Anyway, more important is your sound card.

If you are recording from your synth to computer or playing live, my usual practice is a little more than half (6/10). Then boost from the sound card of mixer. Then you will have a good quality of sound, at the same time rooms for you to do crescendo.

Otherwise, if you max out your keyboard, then the mixer will have to tone you down. Then you can't have your crescendo.
For Yellow Pika, I think Mid Valley have a few synthesizer for you to tried out. Personally, i think to be a pro, it will take some time. It takes time for your hand to learn new skills, and your mind to understand. It is like learning a new language. It takes time, practice and understanding.

Many teacher out there can teach or guide you to play music. But to be a pro, you need to be more than that. You need to have "soul" in your music - that's what my teacher said to me. The feel and touch makes all the different between an average musician and a pro musician.

If you are gifted in music, then you might be able to do it fast enough. But if you are not, then hard work and training will slowly build you up.

You need to first in love with the music before you can actually play it with all your soul.

In those jazz and pop classes, the hardest part to learn is the "feel".

Don't rush it, take your time to enjoy music.

Don't quite understand what you are saying sweat.gif dunno what is crescendo and what you mean by "your usual practice is a little more than half"
since i just started learning organ around last year..
I don't have money to buy workstation..haha. unless i can get within number 5 in my class, then probably would be able to tongue.gif

you mean the yamaha showroom in midvalley? never went to the showroom there before..hope they let me play for free..(hope the staff there won't "kacau" me) laugh.gif

Hi, I want to buy a keyboard. Between the Yamaha PSR E213 and Casio CTK 2000,both at almost same price, which is better? I'm on a tight budget so cannot afford a better one.

'Crescendo' means gradually getting louder. It is a common expression term that you learn in music theory. You will get to know this term very soon (i suppose grade 1 theory cover this).

"A little more than half" i am referring to the volume level on your keyboard. If you plug in your keyboard to a mixer, i suggest you set your volume on your keyboard to half (meaning you turn the volume nob to half, if 1 is no sound, and 10 is loudest, you turn to 6). Get what i mean?

Yeah.. Midvalley showroom. I think no many people go there. So, you can play as long as you want.

Cheers smile.gif

If you are just starting out, maybe you can consider buying second hand cause even the old model workstation is really good.

My band's keyboardist is getting a new keyboard, which keyboard model has more effects and keys and also produces better sound quality during live performance? Her budget is around 3.5k and we're sorta like a rock/pop band. We play songs like She Left Me by Go Audio but is trying to play songs in the Rock genre. Advices, anyone? biggrin.gif Thanks in advance!

its 3950. a bit pricey compared to second hand market in singapore and US (if I exclude the shipping). and 3 knobs are not very responsive, luckily, I can use buttons & touchscreen as alternative.

the presets are very modern and ambient oriented, but I'm particularly attracted to the included 80's VA oscillators (juno/jupiter/jp8000/d50).

I have a feeling it might be redundant since I have motif, but , we'll see lor
