Problems? 
Solutions!
Whether you are a
live musician, a studio musician or a home musician, some of
the following problems may seem familiar.
- My arranger
keyboard can't play the great quality sounds of the
software synthesizer that I have on my PC. With One Man Band you can exploit softsynths in both
melody and accompaniment.
- I find the
quality of the keys on all arranger keyboards that I've
tried not satisfactory. I want 88 keys with good feel. Use a high quality
MIDI keyboard controller in your One Man Band arranger combination.
- I have a
fantastic synthesizer but it hasn't got a built in arranger.
I like to play automatic accompaniment now and then. Just connect to a
PC and let One Man Band provide accompaniment
while you use both the synthesizer keyboard and the sound of
your synthesizer. OMB transforms your synthesizer into an
arranger keyboard.
- I'm a little
bored with the styles in my arranger keyboard. There are
many styles available at the internet but loading each style
with a floppy is cumbersome. With One Man Band , you can play styles directly
from the hard drive of your PC.
- My arranger
keyboard can't load new styles. With One Man Band you will play the enormous
collection of Yamaha-compatible styles on any music-keyboard
that has a MIDI connection.
- I need to have
midifiles with accompaniment tracks, to use while I am
playing my favourite piano-pieces. In the sequencer window of One Man Band you will arrange the accompaniment
quickly, by specifying chords and styleparts.
- A friend of mine
has a complete orchestra in his music-keyboard. I don't have
such a sound in my digital piano. You can transform any digital piano
or synthesizer into an arranger keyboard with One Man Band.
- I want to create
my own styles for my Yamaha arranger keyboard. I find it
very difficult using the built in tools. You will find it
easy using the styleeditor in One Man Band. Transform MIDI files into styles
and mix existing styles.
- I play styles on
my Yamaha arranger keyboard that were converted from other
keyboards. They sound a bit odd. With the tweaker function in the sequencer window of One Man Band you will find it easy to adjust
all settings.
- I don't want to
pay thousands of dollars extra for a hard drive (instead of
a floppy), sufficient internal memory and a decent screen in
an arranger-keyboard. I already have that in my PC and have
paid much less.
Use the hardware in your PC for your arranger combination
with One Man Band.
- I have a
songbook, but I can't play on an instrument. With Busker you can drag and drop notes,
chords, lyrics and music symbols, thus creating the same
image on screen as in your songbook. Then pick a style and
press the play button.
- I can't find the
karaoke files that I need. If you can find the songs with music-notes,
chords and lyrics in a songbook, then you create your own
karaoke files with Busker.
- Can somebody
show me how to play the keys of my keyboard for this song.
The notes and chords in my songbook are Chinese to me. You don't need to
be able to read sheet music. Drag and drop the building
blocks and create the same image on screen as in your
songbook using Busker. Press play and the
on-screen keyboard will show you how to play the chords and
melody.
- I find adding
text for a Karaoke song in a normal sequencer very
complicated.
Type or copy the text into Serenade and then use the ctrl-key for
inserting each word or syllable at the right time while the
MIDI-file plays.
- I need to have
accompaniment tracks for my solo performance. The easiest
accompaniment maker is Band Minus One.
- Can't find a
realtime arranger for Linux. Try One Man Band.
