messin with a guitar sound (will be on my next CD)
my music store: http://www.ronaldjenkees.com/music-store
**this tune will be on my next CD – I came up with this jam recently so I don’t have it available yet. thanks for all the emails and interest in it! can’t wait til it’s done (hopefully in December).
just havin some fun with a guitar sound (Hard Ramp AS1&2) on the Motif XS8. Some have asked about the “low notes” that come out when I hit those two keys up top – those are guitar effects built in the patch and for whatever reason, Yamaha put those effects on the high keys.
I made the background beat using FL Studio. I start the beat by hitting the space-bar on my computer keyboard before I play on the synth.
PS. I’ve read some reviews of this vid as if I’m trying to be a “keytar” player (apparently not a desirable thing, but how can you not like Edgar Winter’s “Frankenstein”) and that I should just play a real guitar. LOL @ some of those same people who probably play guitar hero (nothing against it but hopefully you see my point)! The irony! The point is, folks, if you find a fun/inspiring sound to jam with, by all means, you should JAM WITH IT! I don’t care if you find a $3.00 plastic trumpet. Don’t worry about the technicalities and what people say. In the long run it’s about the fun that YOU have making music.
Thanks for watching!!!

Improv – Electric Guitar (keyboard) Canon in D – On my CD!
Buy this song: http://www.ronaldjenkees.com/music-store/
The version you can buy from me is close to what I play here. I DID keep a lot of the guitar. So I have a bunch of that in there with cool piano part in the middle where it calms down, then speeds back up into more guitar. Anywho, I hope you like it!
Thanks for the awesome comments.
This was inspired by watching this dude, as you all have probably seen already:
I’m using FL Studio to make the beat and playing on a Korg Triton LE keyboard.

Guitar + Ukulele Keyboard
I have always loved to play the guitar, unfortunately i am not able and then I amuse myself with the keyboard guitar “SAMPLER”, even if it seems a sound between ukulele and one classic guitar. Better than nothing, however I task that perhaps an sound interesting for the elettric keyboards player. At moment the are no sheet music or midi-file for this tune, I just impressed and composed this song by my self. I hope you enjoy
More info about Sampler:
A sampler is an electronic musical instrument closely related to a synthesizer. Instead of generating sounds from scratch, however, a sampler starts with multiple recordings (or “samples”) of different sounds, and then plays each back based on how the instrument is configured. Because these samples are usually stored in RAM, the information can be quickly accessed.
The sampler has become an important instrument in hip hop, electronic music, and avant-garde music.
Unlike traditional digital audio playback, each sample is associated with a set of synthesis parameters, and can thus be modified in many different ways.
Most samplers have polyphonic capabilities – they are able to play more than one note at the same time. Many are also multitimbral: they can play back different sounds at the same time.
Types:
Samplers can be classified as phrase samplers or studio samplers. The latter term is informal, the former appears in the manufacturer’s documentation.
Phrase samplers work with the philosophy of a drum kit. Each keymap spans only a single key and generally has a different sample put under it. For a studio sampler, this would require a large number of zones (61 to fill a regular keyboard), each with its own settings; and each keymap has to be programmed as spanning just one key. This is a lot of work, especially on older menu-driven hardware samplers. Using the phrase sampling approach simplifies this and makes a translation to another interface (such as the 16 pads on the Akai MPC series) easier; the fact that each pad is actually a note is hidden from the user. It also saves computing power as the sampling engine does not have to re-pitch each sample (there is no need for an anti-aliasing algorithm) – it only has to play it back. Since the user interface is simplified in general, it is also a more attractive option for live use.
Studio samplers work as described above with the keymapping system. It is assumed that the user wants to “spread out” a sample over a certain range of keys. This has certain side-effects. These are desirable – such as speeding up or slowing down drum loops, effectively turning a sampler into a digital turntable. In some cases this is not desired; when for instance not enough samples are taken of an instrument, the higher and lower parts of a keymap may sound unnatural, and the transition from one keymap to another may be too noticeable. For mimicking realistic instruments, the art is to make transitions as smooth as possible.
The format differs in obvious ways – studio samplers are available in 19″ rack format, phrase samplers have a groovebox format; lightweight, easy to operate and carry.

keyboard guitar 2 for iPad
Keytar-also called Keyboard Guitar.
And specially designed for iPad.
What is a keytar?
A keytar is a relatively lightweight keyboard (with or without a built-in synthesizer) that is supported by a strap around the neck and shoulders, similar to the way a guitar is supported by a guitar strap. Keytars allow players a greater range of movement compared to conventional keyboards, which are placed on stands. The instrument has a musical keyboard for triggering musical notes and sounds. Controls for pitch bends, vibrato, portamento, and sustain are placed on the instruments neck”. The term “keytar” is a portmanteau of the words “keyboard” and “guitar.” Keytars may either contain their own synthesis engines, or simply be controllers, triggering notes on another MIDI capable synthesizer.
How to play?
