Yamaha DGX-620 - Davey Jones (Pirates of the Caribbean)

- Original Music by Hans Zimmer -
(Pirates of the Caribbean - Davey Jones)

I picked up this song by ear and then modified it a little bit. I am pretty happy with the result and I hope you enjoy this clip.

**Please NOTE** I had to combine 3 video clips because my digital camera only records in 30 second clips. Hence, you will probably notice the transitions. This is me playing though and not pre-recorded.

For those that are wondering what options I used in in making this clip, the majority of it was a whole bunch of style options.

Piano: Yamaha DGX-620/YPG-625

Style: MariachiWaltz (#120); ACMP (ON); INTRO/ENDING, SYNC START

Voice: Musette (#032)
---------------------------------------

This is just one of the many nice features this keyboard has to offer.

I'll re-record this when my new digital camcorder arrives. Also, Stay tuned!! I'm working on my next works: "When Johnny Comes Marching Home + POTC - Hoist the Colors"

I am not as good as you and most times make a small mistake but there doesn't appear to be any editing. I have tried to transfer a midi file to the computer but when I recopy it back to the DGX the voices are not so good. What do you do? Or are you always note perfect?

[ArcticWolves]

The trick is to practice as much as you can and pretend you're recording yourself each time. Once you have had enough practice you will be able to perform it for the video camera. Yes, I make a few slip-ups in some of my other videos but not that noticeable. Only you know if you made a mistake or not. Practice whatever you're playing before recording and the note perfect will eventually come.

can u record music (not MIDI ) directly into the computer with this piano?

nice playing btw

[ArcticWolves]

I am not sure yet. I will be getting the cable that connects to the computer next month. I will let you know then.

Yes, it is very easy. If the particular keyboard does not have L-R line-out, it definitely has a headphone receptacle. Using a double-male sound cable (that is so say both ends are male connectors), you plug line-out or headphone into the line-in of your computer and record as line-in. (Some people record "What U Hear," but the quality is inferior to direct line in.) If you have any questions, please respond.

[ArcticWolves]

Wow very interesting... I will have have to try this technique. Where can I find one of these double-ended male connectors??

[BeatDemon08]

Sounds like tom waits kind of. I love this keyboard.. One day i'll have it

Man I love this piano it looks great in this video =) I'm buying it online and I really love the emotion of your playing and with the piano quality, thanks for having the model in your name so people can look at it.

Hi there. I just started with Piano/Keyboard but i wanted so hard to express myself and made a jazz improvisation. Check it out on my profile (it's not that good, so don't be too hard). The recording quality is really good on my performance.

[RadiDimitrov]

Nice song, really.

Dude, could you please write down the left-hand notes. I can' quite get them right :)

[sureiguess1]

yo dude, take my advice and get a usb cable to connect ur piano to ur computer then u wont have the "THUMP" from the keys going down or any background noise either. it sounds LOADS better!!!!!!

Thanks for the tips. I suppose I am getting a bit lazy now since I used to practise intensely (Classical) when I was younger. I still wish though that there was basic editing, on the DGX, but that aside it is a marvelous instrument.
