First I would like to say hello to all on this board. Just found it
on a search. Guess i was lucky!!!
  I am going to try out the OMB software and was wondering if anyone
has a Cakewalk INS file for the Yamaha PSR-270. Will the OMB work
with my PSR-270?  Thanks for looking and I wish the new software the
best of success...ArVee

Here is a link to a message of somebody who made an ins file for the
psr270

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/cakewalkproaudio/message/1232

maybe he will send it to you if you email him.

Hi Joe.
I had arrange some songs created by sequence page. But some of them I
could not save as midi file.Do you know what is problem? My computer
have many applications. May be it conflict with other software?  Do
you have any idea? Or style problem? Mostly I using Solton convert to
PSR and PSR 9000, 2000 styles.
Thanks
Vo

If you send me both the sequence file (.seq) and the styles (.sty) that are
used in it then I will take a look at it. Send it to josmaas@...

The problem can occur when the last bar of the ending is empty. I repaired
the Ending A and Ending B parts. They where both defined as 4 bars while the
last note ended in bar 3. The "tat ca repaired.zip" file in the file area
contains the new style and midifile. You can do the same repair with the
other styles you made (menu part/length in the stylemaker window). I will
fix this bug in the next version.

By the way if you have made more styles like this you are welcome to put
them in a directory in the files area. There is plenty of room here for more
styles.

I've been away from my OMB program for sometime  while I learned to
play old standards on an acoustic piano. The technique I've acquired
uses jazz open voicing for piano fingering. This means the left hand
plays the chord root and 5th or root & 8th or root & flat 7th (major,
dominant 7th & minor 7th chords only), while the right hand plays the
melody on top while chord color tones using the 3rd, 6th, 7th, 9th,
11th, and 13th degrees of the scale are played underneath.

I may have asked this question before but I have forgotten the
answer. Can OMB be configured so I can play as if I were actually
playing a real piano, and the style will harmonize with my playing?
I'm pretty sure the right hand will play any notes I press, but I'm
more interested in the left hand. Will the left split recognize a
chord if only part of the chord is in the left hand while the other
notes of the same chord are in the right hand?

Thanks very much for any suggestion/comment.

In version 6 you can do so if you select chord fingering "full
keyboard". In full keyboard mode there is no split between left and
right hand. Whenever three or more keys are pressed simultaneous (no
matter how far away from each other) then OMB will attempt to form a
valid chord with them. Only basic major and minor chords are
recognised this way.

Hi
this style of playing , I think , would normally be done in "
Pianist " mode on arranger keyboards. (Technics do it really well)
Not sure how you'd go with OMB.
I bought a new Clavinova piano a couple of days ago. I decided not to
go to the expense of buying  one that had the arranger features.
It's a basic piano, with XG sounds and a 16 track sequencer.
Instead of playing OMB as an arranger, I hope to create midifile
backing tracks using psr styles and OMB's sequencer ie
I find a style, put in the chord progression for the song and save as
a midifile. Then I load the midifile into the piano's sequencer ( or
it could be played directly in the computer) and I just play along,
piano being the main part left & right hand, the midifile being the
backing.( guitar , drums bass strings etc etc)

best wishes
Rikki

hi

One recruit I am.

I play guitar.

How would be aware of to utilise the one man band programme?

Joins in how the classical guitar.

Which the the best programme audio to midi conversion?

Hungarian I am excuse me the bad English lingua,.

With best regards:

lel

Hi Lel,

If you have a MIDI guitar then you can choose the "full keyboard" chord
fingering in the settings menu. Otherwise you can make accompaniment
arrangements in the sequencer window, to accompany your guitar play.

Hi Jos,
It seems I'm suffering from the same problem as peter15337 in that
one of the styles I have wont produce a midi file. Is there anyway
you could help?

Great program, by the way!

Pete

Hi Pete,

If you send me the style then I will try to find out what goes wrong.

Hi Jos, it's up there now. Not sure what happened with the previous
file. I downloaded this one as a test and it seemed ok apart from
the fact my system saw it as a .mid???? Renaming to a .sty worked
fine tho.
Thanks again for your help.

Busker is a tool to create midi arrangements from a songbook or fakebook.
All the symbols that you will find in a songbook like notes, rests, keys,
time-signatures, repeat-indicators and chords are visible on the screen and
can be dragged to a set of staff lines. This way you can create the same
picture on the screen as in the songbook. You don't really need to know the
meaning of all the symbols. Choose a style and a  multivoice for the melody
and press play. The song can be recorded in a midi or karaoke file.

To improve the song and give it more variety other indicators, not specified
in the songbook, can be dragged to the staff as well:

1. Different style parts (variations) of the Yamaha compatible styles
2. Pads: short melodies to fill in pauses in the main melody
3. Switch drums, bass and other instruments on and off separately
4. Tempo, volume, note duration (for staccato effect) and any midi message

Beside playing the 30 included styles or any other Yamaha style it can also
play the internal styles of any type arranger keyboard. In this mode the
keyboard will be controlled by chords, melody and clock messages received
from Busker thru a midi connection. While playing you can adjust the tempo
on the pc and switch styles, variations and melody voices with the buttons
on your keyboard. Use the internal sequencer of you keyboard to record
midifiles. The chord and melody fingering is shown on screen for keyboard
teaching. While learning to play a song, you can take over (switch of
sending) chords and melody separately.

Lyrics can be added, the song can be printed with multiple lyric lines (for
each repeat). The lyrics will scroll along the screen in big font for
karaoke. It can be recorded in a karaoke file that can be used in players
like VanBasco.

Busker also read and play music in ABC notation. This is a method to
describe staff notation in text. It is used mainly for traditional songs
(jigs, reels, hornpipes). Files with hundreds of songs from the Nottingham
Music Database, complete with melody and chords ready to play, are included
in the shareware package.

You can download Busker at http://www.1manband.nl/busker where you also can
listen to midi files produced with Busker.

Hi!
OneManBand , Busker manufacturor.

Today i download the Busker s.w. in my PC
When  i install this program ,I get an error messages like belows.
"invalid command-line parameters.Unable to continue"
"Setup was not completed successfully"

The O.S is a korean version Windows98Se.

And your One-Man-band version 6 cannot installed perfectly in Korean
Windows98SE.

In your FAQ, this error reported.

But i wonder when this error fixed in korean version.

To make this Software perfect, you should fix this error in short
period.

Please  answer faithful.

Thank you.

There have been reports about problems with the Chinese, Japanese and
Korean version of Windows 98, ME and 2000 using One Man Band. There
haven't been reports of problems with the Windows XP version in these
languages (but no reports it worked either). So to use One Man Band
or Busker you will have to use a Windows version with a western
character set. The problem will not be fixed by me but maybe it is
already fixed in the latest Windows versions.

The good news is that you where able to test an detect this before
buying. :-)

Here is a item in the One Man Band FAQ about this:

Why do I get the message "Unable to open file" whenever I try to open
a style file?
This problem occurs in the Chinese version of Windows 98 and in the
Korean version of Windows ME. There haven't been reports of this
problem occurring in Windows XP in any language. A message from a
user regarding this: I am using Windows 2000. When I evaluated the
software, I have my locale set to English and it WORKED. But right
before I register to the software, I changed my locale to Traditional
Chinese which failed the program while opening the file. So, after
setting the locale and language back to English, it works.

Thank for your fast answer!

But I think  there are still a lot of users using windows 98,me,2000 -
the old O.S(not lastes version) in the world  in various reason.

One reason is these old version O.S worked well and no problems
running many other programs.

And many commercial programs running perfectly in korean version O.S
without problems.

I think the lastes Windows XP's working condition requires high
performance of CPU power and this OS(Windows XP) are not stable than
windows 98,ne,2000, etc.

If you want to make your software have a value for commercial, you
should make these known problems fixed and announce the patches for
fixing , give  good guide  how to using in korean,chinese, japanese
windowsOS(98), etc.

I try to change the locale in windows, but still cannot install your
OMB,Busket and even thouth it success, it is very inconvinient way ,i
think.


So I expect your S.W working well without changing locale in
korean ,chinese,japanese locale by giving good solution in short time.

thank you...

It seems to me that this forum is not functioning as a real forum.
Originally it was founded by me to create a download site for the
styles that I found at a Yamaha DGX website that had disappeared. But
I was hoping that it would also become a meeting place where One Man
Band users would go in discussion with each other abouth how they use
the software and maybe upload some styles and midifiles they created
with it.

Up to now this is not happening. Almost all of the messages are
directed to me, requesting some kind of action from my side.
Obviously nobody else in the forum is interested in these messages
because nobody mingles in the discussion. Messages like these should
be sent to me directly josmaas@... and not to this forum.
This forum is not a customer support mailbox.

So let us hear what you do with this software and let us hear the
music you make with it!

Chord Player is a windows tool that will play the chords on an
arranger keyboard so that you will have both hands available for
melody playing and style-variation switching.

The chords for the songs can be entered in a text window and can be
saved in chord files. A chord file with the chord sequences for a
hundred well known songs is included.

Text can be included between the chord lines for orientation or
karaoke. The textsize can be adjusted.

The chords played are shown on a piano keyboard for keyboard teaching
by example. Chord playing can be switched off so that you can play
the chords yourself while the displayed chords on screen stay
synchronised with your keyboard.

Dear Jos,

OMB is very good program for people who play music. I believe most users
here are just music players, not creators. we just want to have fun
playing the music on the fly, with so many different styles available,
just like you do with yamaha PSR keyboard. and it's a lot cheaper too.
this is the reason i bought the program (although having the ability to
make my own style is indeed a plus factor). not many people make their
own styles or save the songs they play. i believe people who really make
their own music already doing it with lots of equipment they own, not
just OMB software.

I think its a good forum to share common problems/feedback from users for
improvements (unless you have another forum specifically for it). people
can get dissappointed if the feature does not meet some expectations. may
be some mails are quite harsh, but i hope you take it positively and as a
challenge to improve the program. at least you know that your user-base
is now all over the world, thus cultures & understanding are a little bit
different. a rude word could mean a polite word in another culture.

(BTW i do have my own request/question but I'll email directly to you as
requested)

thanks & keep up the good work

Hi Jamil,

It;s always interesting to hear how people are using One Man Band. Using it
as a replacement for an arranger keyboard is what I had in mind when I
started developing it. I soon found out that people where using it in ways
that I couldn't have imagined.

What amazed me first was that a lot of users already have a Yamaha PSR
keyboard. They use it for fast access to al the available styles because
without OMB they must load the styles in their keyboard with floppies. Also
the older PSR keyboard can't play all the (C and D) variations in the
styles. And some want to use another keyboard controller because they find
the keys of the PSR too small and not having a nice touch or need more then
61 keys. And some just use OMB to "tweak" the styles that where converted
from other keyboards to better match the PSR synthesizer sounds.

What amazed me more was that many of the user were (semi-) professionals
that use it in combination with expensive gear. There are studio's that use
OMB as a pre-production tool to quickly try musical ideas with a lot of
different styles. They then make a midifile and continue the work with tools
like Cubase. Another group of users are the "gig-artist", they play in bars
and restaurants. Their interest in OMB is that they can use PC based sounds
and sound effects in combination with OMB. VST software (virtual studio
technology) is "hot" these days. They claim that the sounds in some software
synthesizers is far better then the sounds in arranger keyboards.

Knowing how people use OMB is important for me to know while further
developing OMB (and other software).

Like many forums we are under attack from viruses. Today was the
first one, I deleted it from the list.

An often heared advice is to not open an email attachments if the
email is from someone you don't know. This is not a good advice.
NEVER OPEN AN ATTACHMENT IF THE TEXT IN THE EMAIL DOESN'T MAKE IT
CLEAR THAT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT YOU WERE EXPECTING TO RECEIVE FROM
SOMEONE EVEN IF THE SENDER IS SOMEONE YOU KNOW!!!!!

Viruses look in the addressbook from the PC's they have infected and
take 2 addresses: one to email to and the other as sender. The virus
today therefore had my email address but was not sent by me.

Another precaution you should take is to always make regular backups
from data on your PC that can't be missed or replaced.
