Introduction
I afresh apprehend an beat advertence that although Keyboards are
primarily acclimated with computer DAW's, (Digital Audio Workstations) a
lot of artist users are in actuality guitarists. However, for me it's
the added way annular as my botheration as a keyboard amateur has been
my disability to almanac guitar tracks, due to my abridgement of
accomplishment as a guitarist. As Keyboard technologies are developing
continually, the Guitar choir on avant-garde instruments are aural added
and added authentic. However, these choir still do abatement abbreviate
of the absolute affair abnormally if it comes to Guitar Bedrock solos.
Fortunately, with the appearance of superb guitar software plug-ins and
furnishings I can, with accurate programming and able use of the angle
and accentuation wheels, use my keyboard to aftermath some appealing
acceptable guitar advance if I am autograph music or creating abetment
tracks.
Practical appliance for 'live' work
Using a computer on date is impractical, so how can I acclimate these
new begin abilities in my 'live' plan - and why should I charge to
anyway? The acknowledgment is Electric Guitar Furnishings Pedals.
But first, let us attending at the Keyboard player's lot.
Hands up all those Keyboard Players who accept struggled during a gig,
to be heard over the Guitarist, whose alone aim in activity is to
accomplish your aerial bleed.
Yep, anticipation so.
Also, accepting to accommodate piano, strings, brass, additional advance
etc., we tend to feel a bit unappreciated if the guitarist alone has to
play one adeptness ambit for all the males in a area to cycle up there
eyes in ecstasy, and alpha arena 'Air Guitar'. Don't get me wrong, I
accept formed with some ablaze guitarists, but I accept aswell formed
with some whose alone abstraction of balance, is not falling off the
date while absolutely wasted. So, aback to my aboriginal catechism - why
would I acclimate my new 'keyboard/guitar' abilities for reside work?
No Band. No Guitarist
In my case, I aswell play as a accompanist or with addition artist in a
duo. Both of these combinations accept a bedrock influence, and as such,
anniversary requires those guitar licks and solos - but I don't accept a
guitarist. So I accept programmed my keyboard to forward the Keyboard
guitar choir out via an assignable additional achievement and accept
affiliated that to a Guitar Multi-effects Pedal.
Many Keyboards now accept additional audio achievement jacks that
accredit you to application any articulation on your keyboard via that
output. This accurately separates that articulation from the keyboards
accustomed stereo output. I use a Yamaha Tyros for a lot of of my reside
work, and My Korg M3 aswell has the adeptness to accredit choir
separately. By application a multi-effects pedal I accept a abundance of
Guitar furnishings choir at hand, and by abutting to a abstracted
channel(s) on the PA the added ambient and dynamics of the guitar
complete is abundantly added to amazing effect. Obviously, you could use
a specific individual Furnishings Pedal instead - e.g. Compressor or
Overdrive pedal - to appropriately acceptable effect. But alone I would
go for the Multi-Effects Pedal.
The types of Keyboard Guitar Choir I use are about the beeline acoustic
guitar choir which adapt accurately with the Aftereffect Pedal. I aswell
use the apple-pie electric guitar sounds as well, which are aswell
actual effective. Experimentation is the key.
When playing, accomplish acceptable use of your angle and accentuation
auto to imitate those angle aeroembolism and vibrato techniques, and you
will anon apprehend some appealing acceptable sounds - abnormally
during your solos. I would aswell add that application the Furnishings
Pedals is not absolute to your Guitar sounds. Assigning added choir
through the pedal can aftermath some accomplished after-effects too. For
example, try out the Hammond Organ complete with some baloney
furnishings on your pedal - WOW - Deep Purple man. I apperceive that all
keyboards accept their own built-in DSP (Digital Signal Processor)
furnishings that you can administer to your centralized voices, but
breach that complete alone through your PA via the Furnishings Pedal is
absolutely cool.
So, application my new begin flat abilities has now resulted in some abundant aural reside Guitar solos.
Conclusion
At a contempo gig I had my aboriginal 'air guitar' player. Yes
adolescent 'Keyboardists', while arena the guitar abandoned to Thin
Lizzys' Whiskey in the Jar, I looked up to see a guy - legs apart, eyes
formed up, in fact continuing in foreground of me 'THE KEYBOARD PLAYER',
arena Air Guitar.
I had assuredly become a Guitar Hero. Well, the bliss lasted about until cafeteria the next day.
The affair is; as a Keyboard player, accept I awash out? Do I even care?
Having an ego as big as any bandage affiliate (yes, even the drummer),
my acknowledgment has got to be. 'Darn it - if it works, don't beating
it'.
If you are absorbed in added advice about Electric Guitar Furnishings
Pedals there is a abundant website which describes some of the assorted
types of Guitar Furnishings Pedals and which aswell appearance YouTube
videos which demonstrates these assorted furnishings in action.
The website aswell appearance abounding pedals accessible today with blueprint on each, additional some abundant deals.
Personally, as a keyboard player, I accept begin the videos actual
advisory for free which types of pedals and furnishings would clothing
my keyboard, additional watching the arena techniques is actual advisory
for developing a acceptable Guitar achievement from my keyboards.
