As many of you know, Worth and I undertook to produce a set of instructional DVD's covering Korg arrangers - in particular the Pa1x and the Pa800. We did this as a "not for profit" enterprise to benefit all users and if the "project" makes any surplus cash we will plough this back into producing more DVD's on requested topics in the future.

The DVD's feature Chris Whitehead who is arguably the best known demonstrator and improviser of the Pa1x and Pa800 in the UK. The recordings were done using three video cameras and a hard disk sound recorder in Chris's studio in Maidenhead UK on 8th July. Each DVD has a "four screen" view showing the chapter title, the display in close up, a rear view of the whole keyboard, and a front view of Chris as he narrates and demonstrates. On the first video we have a "star vocalist" demonstrating the Harmoniser (Worth!!). The other recordings are of Chris playing and demonstrating the Pa1x with optional MP3 board fitted.

As far as we know, the content will be useful to owners of the Pa800 as well, although we have not covered any of the "extras" that are in the new OS1.5 for the Pa800 at the moment (you lucky people!!).

It's taken three weeks to edit and mix the first 110 minute DVD, comprising 2 hours of footage from each of the three video cameras. The final mix down to PAL widescreen format for DVD 1 was completed yesterday after 14 hours continuous processing time on my dual processor PC. This is being sent for review among the production team and to Paolo Tramannoni, Karmathanever and Sharp this week.

So, the first DVD in a set of three will be available in September. Volume 2 will be available in October and volume 3 will be available in November.

The DVD's are individually presented in a jewel case with laser printed sleeve and DVD label. The first DVD's will be in PAL Widescreen format with a menu alowing you to select any of the 21 different topics that are covered on this DVD. The price is £10 each plus postage to your destination.

We are now accepting pre-orders for the first DVD (1 of 3), in PAL Widescreen format, and the contents are as follows:

DVD 1 of 3 (available Sept)
Introduction
Demonstration
Sounds & Editing
Organs & Leslie FX
Style Playing
Modifying Styles
Songbook & Editing
Vocal Processor
MP3 Recording
Sub-Output Mixes

I'm now starting to edit and mix the remaining 12 hours of footage to produce the next two DVD's. The expected contents of the next two DVD's will be as follows:

DVD 2 of 3 (available Oct)
Sequencing
Multitracking
Step Editing
Import from Midi
Quantising
Backing Sequence
Saving your work
Sound Synthesis
Effects
Creating Sounds
Grooves & Loops
Loading Samples
Drum tracks

DVD 3 of 3 (available Nov)
Style Creation
Midi to Styles
Create Styles
Editing Styles
Copying Styles
Merging .set files
Hints & Tips
Putting it into practice

If you wish to order the first DVD, please send a private message or email to either me, or to Worth, with your postal address. We will send you the DVD and if you are happy to keep it, send the £10 & Postage money via cheque to Worth at the address that will be included in the DVD box. If you don't like the DVD, then just post it back to Worth.

We will automatically send you the second and third DVD's in October and November, unless you ask us not to. Again the same deal applies. If you like the DVD then keep it and send Worth the £10 plus postage. Or return it if you don't want it.

If there is sufficient demand for NTSC format DVD's (for the USA), I may consider producing these by special request. It will need at least 15 people to commit to purchase the set of three to justify the time it takes to do a special mix in these formats. I have posted a Poll in this thread, so you can say which format you need.

I hope you like the DVD's, and I hope that some favourable reviews will appear on the forum in due course It is a pleasure and privilege to work with Chris Whitehead and Worth and my son Paul in producing these.

Best regards,
Rob

I just got my DVD set from Frank and I'm absolutely thrilled with it. Great job Rob. your son Paul, Chris, and Worth. It was pricey up here into Canada ($90 U.S. + another $35Cdn. C.O.D. tacked on by UPS), but where else could I get knowledge like this presented so well? Kudos all round.
