Mel's Melodies

My first "proper" keyboard was a KN6000 which I later upgraded to a KN65000.As technology is a major challenge I was not keen at first to explore the potential of the instrument and contented myself playing one-finger chords against a dodgy melody!! After a while I packed the keyboard off to the shed and it stayed there for a disgraceful length of time. It would probably still be there today if I hadn't discovered two work colleagues (one a singer and the other a drummer with a rehearsal room in his garden) interested in forming a band. Now, I don't count myself as a musician or a singer but I have an ear and a passion for harmonies and so we got together and gave it a go. I quickly realised I could not play live, push buttons and sing the harmony all at the same time...and then I remembered something called a sequencer! OMG.( Keep in mind that at this stage I was petrified even of pushing the "panel write" button in case I buggered up the keyboard! ) When I look back now I shudder at my lack of aptitude. But needs must and so I spent hours and hours and hours (yawn) studying the user manual and eventually things clicked. Well. our band ended up with 40-50 decent sounding arrangements and we had some really great laughs along the way though sadly we don't play together anymore. I have since upgraded to a KN7000 simply for the SD speed/convenience and this site has been an absolute Godsend.
