old tyme and sequence dance styles

Post by riggers »

Anybody know where I can get old tyme and sequence dancing styles for PA1X from. Also I need some music hall styles.
I know these exist already, but not all in one place or on a disk etc.
I had them on my VA7 and could do with them again now I have switched to Korg.
Any info would be appreciated.
Thanks all for your brilliant help in the past. Riggers

hi
why look elsewhere -all is on the korg -do you have Italian foxtrot on pa1x -this makes a alpine stroll when slowed down
foxtots all you need on korg adjust to suit tempo 112-120
walz ,tango ,cha -all you have to do is change tempo to suit the dance the rhythm on the korg are adequate

Riggers,
They're all in there! For a square tango I use 'Orchestral Tango' at approx 120bpm.
Do you use 6/8 or 2/4 barn dances? I copied the scottish 2/4 style into another location and quantised it to triplets to give me a 6/8 beat.

When I got the pa1x, I thought I'd never get a whole set of beats sorted out as it was so different from the i30, but now I'm used to the difference in the beats, and the i30 sound odd when I plug it in.

yep, you dont need to be looking at other styles that might not work tidy anyway
I use the orch tango as well for sq tango but at 124
barndance6/8 etc they are all there if you experiment.

Barn Dance

Post by Turtle »

Hi Riggers. I have been asked to play a little barn dance music as part of an hour of ballroom music. I have no experience of playing barn dance so I have found your subject really useful. I'd like to know if you think Polka 1 in the Trad bank a good style to use? Did you have any success with the advice given? Turtle
