Hi Go:Keys people! I'm a very elderly owner of two G:K5's and a G:K3, the 3 bought so's I could learn and practice all the non-keyboard operations (all those buttons!) with the objective of quickly selecting different voices and accompanyments which would be used on the G:K5s I have installed in other people's places. My home keyboard is a Yamaha PSR-SX920, and I love it, had another one at our jamshack, but when visiting players used it, it was just as a piano; the wealth of voices and rhythms it holds were never used. I play bass most of the time, so the PSR didn't often get used. I traded it for the two Go:Keys 5's mentioned above.
At our jams, with usually seven people in the room, we have a list of about 400 songs and often select them by guessing numbers from the list. If the song needs a keyboard solo or other important backup, I'll put down the bass and play the appropriate flute, sax, accordion, piano, organ, whatever, all quickly found on the PSR. But on the G:K5, finding the appropriate voice takes half the song!! I have saved the five most used voices on their buttons, but outside those, it takes too long.
All that said, does anyone know if there's an app which suggests the best available arranger setting for any particular song on any keyboard? I saw a list someone had started, and it looked great, but lost the link when I updated my computer hardware last year. Never was able to find it again. Looks like a candidate for a useful AI app!
