You can change the volume for the different back-up instruments, however on the next song depending on the style for the next song the bass or drums may be to soft. I have to learn to live with the volume being annoying at times. I do a few songs live with BIAB while playing my sax. Sometimes on different styles the Bass and Drums are too loud. I’d like to see the volume settings for each back-up instrument saved with the song file.
#How to create styles for yamaha psr upgrade
I wrote and told them that I would upgrade again when I’d see a fade out incorporated. The other 3 or 4 features to me are useless. I have 2004 and this year out of the hump-teen new features 99% of them are designed for guitar. I'll say it again you can’t blame anyone in sales because, we're all probably related to 20 or 30 people who can strum a guitar! Right? Every year since I first acquired BIAB version 8 I’ve only upgraded 3 times. Like everything else in music technology, BIAB caters to the Guitar crowd. I tried the lyrics feature in BIAB three years ago and found it cumbersome. I type out all of my vocals with the chords above the lyrics in my word processor. The Pedal Bass really stands out on the last 4 bars of Foggy Day also. Man it sounds like real Jazz not “fake jazz.” This pedal bass on 2 and 4 is also great on the turn-around’s before the next chorus etc. I also like the old time Jazz Ballad style that can be set to do double time at bridges and the second chorus etc.īIAB also does a great Jazz Pedal Bass on 2 and 4 for intros on the up-tempo styles. Some styles like the Wynton Kelly style does the bass note on one and three pretty bouncy for tunes like "Doxy" and then you can have it go into four at the bridge and for the second chorus for improvising and back to two for the last chorus etc. I also like the straight-ahead jazz styles. Mostly, I enjoy the solo feature for improving my improvisation.
