Well Guys, is finally here... the song made with the help of the sequencer of my M-50, I have to tell you, it only took my like two hours to record all the keyboard tracks which were 2 for drums, 1 for bass, 2 for strings, 1 for piano, 1 for a lead sound and 1 more for something that I don't remember but it was 7 different lines, and I only added two guitars of my portastudio... so... I will like your comments... thanks...

Looking forward to checking out your sample.  Will stay tuned. Big smile

Although now that you've mentioned it, I might have to set aside a half hour tonight to fool around with it.
Slarti, good luck with that thing.  If it's even a near relation of the onboard sequencer on my Yamaha Motif, you're going to need a pound of limes and a bottle or two of Patron to get to even attempt to get to the bottom of it.Big smile
Can you tell me where we're headin'?
Lincoln County Road or Armageddon.

Yamaha QY100 Sequencer Accompaniment Tool

Still haven't sat down with it to figure it all out.  Got stuck at getting it communicate MIDI wise with my synth and computers. So far I got my synth to change the default patch for the keyboard on it and I'm not entirely sure how that happened.  LOL

 
Systems Exclusive Data..........welcome to the nightmare !!  LOL
 
So Slarti... how's it going with the sequencer... I think I will post a sample of my recording next week... so far.. so good... Big smile

Jampa, I don't know how you have the patience to use an 'on board' hardware sequencer.
You would find a PC or Mac software based program much, much easier to navigate
(like SONAR, Cubase, Logic etc) That way you can 'see' your whole arrangement in front of you without having to fiddle around with 28 button presses for nested sub-pages etc
I used a Korg M1 hardware sequencer for about a week a long time ago and suffered tears of frustration tying to get a semblance of an arrangement up and running.Confused

You should upload some of your music so we can hear it.
 
I don't know, but the system of my M-50 is quite comfortable... the touch screen is very accesible and the recording process is quite good... I know the software is easier but for me is very complicated to do two things you know, like playing and learning a process in a PC... so, having my workstation wherever like in my bed or in my desk is quite great and not having PC's around... and I do encourage you to try this wonderful touch screen... is very intuitive... the only problem is that I can only record over a SD card... that's why I don't have the recording in my computer yet... but I will post my songs anytime soon... is just that the first one is too improvised... now I will start doing more structured songs... thanks Lain...

I have been working lately during my free time over my Workstation and finally tame the sequencer, which is something very easy to use (and I was too lazy to learn how to use it) so now I'm looking to compose and make songs directly with my workstation and recording it and see how things flows. I have one song already made inspired in the flow of the tracking and recording. So, I know here are a lot of great Keyboard experts so, if someone have an advise, a tip or anything useful about Sequencers and workstations I'm all ears...
 
I'm using the Korg M-50... which uses technology from the M-3, so, I'm all ears if someone help me with the process of recording... what  do you say guys?
