Hi Puchi,

Glad you liked it. The page has been updated now so you can all hear what the song should sound like (or at least, what I think the song should sound like). The printed music fits the audio - if you know a different version then you’ll have to adapt it.

Comment on Yamaha P120 and P140 comparison by Liz

I see that you’re missing the in/out connections that have been changed from having the option of either adjustable volume 1/4″ Tip Sleeve outputs or fixed volume RCA jacks to only fixed volume RCA jacks. The headphones jacks have also been changed to 1/8″ as opposed to the p120’s 1/4″ jacks. There is no longer the option of toggling the speakers with the headphones or simply the speakers alone or having the speakers off altogether as there was with the p120. The PC jack and host selection switch has been omitted. It’s also the case that the connectors have been moved to the center of the outward face on the p140 as opposed to the left of the side face on the P120,(which actually might be an improvement). Apparently there are extra speakers added to the cabinet. I see two on the outward face as well as two on the top panel. The controls aren’t exactly the same on the top panel though they are very similar. The demo songs can no longer be tempo adjusted as they were able to be with the p120 also.

Overall I think the p140 has been made into more of an amateur product than the p120, although not by much. It’s still a significant downgrade to me who happens to be a very frequent user of the p120 and many of it’s features.

Hi,

Thanks for your comments. I am hoping to add a few more carols though I may have left it a little late to catch Christmas this year.

and again a big thanks. The walking bass is a nice reminder. In fact I can imagine this is exactly the right way of presenting techniques - with a not too difficult carol, with the variety you can use to add accompaniment to the melodies - stuff that will be useful for thousands in their own work! Many books are explaining it worse. Really nicely done.

just found this - thanks much :)! Christmas is coming nearer again, and I’m so used to improvising at the piano now that going back to some tricks to accompany melodies is just what I was searching for. Really much appreciated, what you do, especially with music that is in some way connected to - sssssnow :P. And taken what a bunch of, err, comments you get here. Great work! Will right now play this.
