Akos, interesting concept and soundcloud looks quite good too showing the "WAV" file as its playing....

Do you have something from your own combis?

I think original combis is always better than copy&paste factory combis...

Thanks. So far I've been using my own Combis only for live band performances, so they don't contain drums and other KARMA stuff like the factory Combis. Instead of listening to me playing the keyboard part separately - which could be interesting anyway - please watch my band (lyrics are under the videos):

Future Plant - You complain (Fox live demo)
Future Plant - Say hello (Fox live demo)
Future Plant - Time (Fox live demo)
and one of my favourite cover songs: Future Plant - You gotta be (by Des'ree, Fox live demo)

Some background info from here: "The material is recorded on a rehearsal for demonstration purposes. We played it fully live without any additional backing tracks, etc. I use my OASYS 88 extensively: each song has its own polished Combi (I try to use only one Combi, if possible) with usually many split points for 4-6 timbres. I also use the Pads under the touchscreen for triggering samples or chords, and certainly the joystick/ribbon section. I have a headset microphone (Shure WH20) for vocals and some vocoder effects - coming from the OASYS. (Plus sometimes I play a tambourine with my left hand - for example in the refrain of "Say hello" or "You gotta be"). For monitoring I use Shure SCL5 earphones."

Thanks for the links, have seen a few of them.
But it seems like you're not really playing, just a few odd sound effects and dribbles&noodles there? :(

Otherwise and more importantly, seems like you're having fun, which is basically what its all about :)

Haha, yeah maybe that would help. :shock:
But I mean, you're using one finger at a time to play notes, not a whole hand, you know like normal solo playing.
Ok you're in a band, so you got someone to do the drums and chords e.t.c. for you.

That's why I posted these videos - to show playing possibilities in a band: 1. normal lead playing on keys (it's there but not the best), 2. playing chords or starting samples with the Pads, 3. splitting the keyboard for many timbres at the same time, 4. using the joystick and the ribbon.

Anyway, you don't need a "teaser" (see OP) do you? Turn on your OASYS. :wink:

Yeah, I should turn it on, press Karma&latch and also use 1 finger...viola! Instant band ;)
You're right I don't need teaser, was just curious how you played....
