Here are some more of the included BIAB PGMusic Style Demo Songs as played back through the Ketron SD2 Orchestral Wizard. This is exactly what it sounds like through my studio monitors here, no tweaking or the like at all, it is simply recorded to pcm digital audio stereo file as it is played back. No changing of any of the original PGMusic song settings at all. Matter of fact, these songs were chosen at pseudo-random from start of the alphabetical style picker list, using a scripting program to automate the issue. What you hear is what you get. And these are using only the GM Bank! Just load a song and play it through the Ketron SD2 and this is what you get. !CAMPGIT_SD2.mp3 BLZTRIO1_SD2.mp3 BOARDWLK_SD2.mp3 Bolero2_SD2.mp3 BritSw16_SD2.mp3 C2_BLAK_SD2.mp3 C2_GRET_SD2.mp3 C!GITWLZ_SD2.mp3 C_2Bt_Sw_SD2.mp3 C_BDUNN_SD2.mp3 Cairo3_SD2.mp3 Calling_SD2.mp3 Campinas_SD2.mp3 CC_CROW_SD2.mp3 DixiFast_SD2.mp3 TBos_250_SD2.mp3 Folks are always asking what Style works with a particular target song they have in mind. One of my favorite BIAB excercises is to juke the Style Demo folders while doing other work at the computer. But I MUTE THE MELODY TRACK. That way, I hear only the accompaniment instruments, the feel of the thing. Quite often is the case that the PGMusic Demo Song uses much the same chord changes as certain targeted songs, they just have to put their own melodies to them to avoid copyright infringements. Mute the Melodies and often you can hear which song the file came out of, so to speak. Songwriters, this method also is a great way to get those creative juices flowing, too. PGMusic Demo Songs with MUTED Melody Track and the Ketron SD2: CC_TONY_SD2.mp3 CELEBRTE_SD2.mp3 Celt_Jig_SD2.mp3 Cesaria1_SD2.mp3 CHET_SD2.mp3 COOL_ONE_SD2.mp3 Cornado_SD2.mp3 Country1_SD2.mp3 COZY_SW_SD2.mp3 Cray1_SD2.mp3 CREEDNCE_SD2.mp3 DADGAD1_SD2.mp3 DOGFUNKD_SD2.mp3 Great sounds plus ease of use have retired mostly all of my software synth solutions here. Just not worth the hassle anymore, considering. --Mac
