YPKO Podcast #6 – MusicPad Pro Interview with Bernard Perry

MusicPad Pro [https://www.pixelrefresh.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/musicpadpro.jpg]In June 2007, I interviewed Bernard Perry where he announces the new way of storing your sheet music digitally, which makes it far simpler locating your favourite pieces you like to perform. This may be used for any instrument, but as I also run a Yamaha keyboard and digital piano enthusiast website [http://www.yamahapkowner.com] with nearly 7500 members, we concentrated on this aspect. I have released this podcast here just to demonstrate my other interests as much as anything else. It is a very different style to most of my gaming podcasts, however I love variety! The podcast also explains my Yamaha website. This edition features: * Yamaha PSR-S500 Keyboard Demonstration * MusicPad Pro Interview – Part 1 * YPKO Voicemail Callers * MusicPad Pro Interview – Part 2 * Yamaha PSR-E403 Keyboard Demonstration You can also purchase and download sheet music [http://www.sightreadmusic.co.uk/] from their new website. You can also read my review on my Yamaha Personal Keyboard Owner [http://www.yamahapkowner.com/?page_id=16] website.
