Great advice JJay. You make even basic instruments sound amazing with your skills. Love the virtual hangout.

Finally something else than piano lol

[@JJBerthume]

I know you'd think I'd be sick of it by now but NOPE! Lol

[@JJBerthume]

Probably going to be doing some fun little tutorial videos with different sounds and beats on this keyboard soon for fun

a good angle on this topic would be, "how many keys do you need?" (in the context of practicing or composing in specific styles) .... i revisited this in various ways when picking keyboards usually because of trying to fit in a smaller space or to take traveling. 88 key keybed way too long, then there's 76, 73, 61, 49, 44, 37, 32, 25... at least 49 is the "well thats the same as harpsichord so any baroque should still work" .... but with that said I still have a lot of solid practice time with the $49 casio SA76 (44 mini keys) as it is indestructable and easily travels in a vehicle or backpack. 44 keys never felt like too few. whereas the next smaller size of 37 keys (yamaha makes this size) definitely does feel like too few keys.

Just to repeat, folks pay close attention to his last message "just have fun and don't depend on external circumstances". On another note, I know you like video game music and youtube recommended me this oldie "kzbin.info/www/bejne/bXzHlqBjo7eWrbM&ab_channel=CieloMist". Tekken 2 has great music, this one sticks out the most.

Love Tekken 2 OST!!

$180 is not a lot of money!

Are you still interested in orchestral composition? Haven't seen anything like that from you in a long time.

[@JJBerthume]

Definitely! Wrote a little pirate piece for fun recently. Been working on second symphony on and off, as well as a new album which mixes orchestral with electronic. Just in a piano phase currently and quite obsessed! :)

@@JJBerthume Thanks for the reply. I hope you're doing well. Maybe soon you could find the time to make another John Williams score study video? Cheers and thanks for all you do.
