WersiClub International Linked Downloads : Venus in Blue Jeans : July 2008 Information Sheet for the Linked Downloads Relating to the Song “Venus in Blue Jeans” Total Preset The following screenshot of many of the settings for this TP shows: Two alternative sounds in each of the Upper Manual layers. The two sounds in the Lower Manual and the Pedal Board sound, not included in the mp3 Demo Track but available in the Total Preset. The six alternative edited OAA Styles, not included in the TP but made available separately as Edited Styles Downloads. The next screenshots show the adjustments made within Sound Control to each of the Upper Manual sound layers. No Sound Control changes were made to the Lower Manual or Pedalboard sounds. When providing alternative sounds for any layer, it is important to check that any Sound Control adjustment made for the primary sound of that layer also works effectively on the alternative sounds. Only very simple Sound Control adjustment is advisable in these circumstances and that is all that has been attempted here. If you normally have Reset Controllers under Selectors ticked then the Sound Control settings will revert to Inst as soon as you change the sound. This TP has Reset Controllers unticked, therefore the Sound Control settings made for the primary sound will also be applied in the same box for all other alternative sounds in that layer. It is highly likely that the parameters of that box will change from sound to sound. This can cause some rather strange sounds to emerge. A check is necessary and adjustments made if needed. € WersiClub International 1 WersiClub International Linked Downloads : Venus in Blue Jeans : July 2008 UM1 – Primary sound : Belly.

One day I’ll find out how to do that! The names of the Styles and their origin are listed below. 8 Beat Guitar Pop : Yamaha Tyros 2 Piano Ballad : Yamaha Tyros 2 Easy Pop : Roland G70 Light Pop : Roland G70 Oldies : Roland G70 Pop Ballad 1 : Korg PA80 Examples of the changes made are a change of pitch for an instrument, volume adjustments, a change of instrument for a particular section and a change of Panorama value in most cases. There were also a couple of changes to Reverb and Chorus settings. Please note that Ending 3 from original Yamaha Styles often slows down and takes the tempo setting in the Main display down with it. When using the Total Preset, be sure to adjust the Tempo back to the original (in this case 109) before saving the TP, should you need to save it. Some other Styles also slow down during the Ending but the display remains static. Demonstration (Performance Downloads) In order for this to demonstrate one of these edited Styles (Piano Ballad), I did not play the Pedal Board, switched Lower Manual 2 sound off and lowered Lower Manual 1 sound to zero volume. The Lower Manual was then played with just chords for the Style to pick up. Automatic Bass was therefore switched on, something you’ll also find occurs in the Total Preset. Normally I’d play with that off as I find it can clash with my own playing of the Pedal Board. There is an Upper Manual split, 2 + 1, though the music was written in the key of C major and that did not work very well with the notes required by the UM3 sound (a saxophone in each case) necessitating either playing the other UM sounds an octave lower with associated pitch adjustments or making a slight change to a few notes of the saxophone: I settled for the latter. Not all the alternative sounds were used in this demo. Intro 3 and Ending 3 are used. There is only one Break in this Style and it appears before each change of Main Style Variation, all four of which are used. Colin May 2008 € WersiClub International 3
