Sorry for that, the link is temporal.
There is a new link.
http://s34.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=036Z ... LSH6L7TZOK
It would be available only a few days and a limited number of d/l. Sorry but I dont have another place to post it at this time.
Its only a small recording of my very first experience with the EZ. Its totally real time and no edit applied. Only played with the left hand and trying to do some lead lines.

Hello people

I finally bought the yamaha ez ag , solely for the purpose of substituting a keboard since i cant play keys too well.and i need to do some serious production

im not too happy usin it, i did download the scripts
(i really appreciate the hardwork put in)

but had some probz , probably u guys can help me out

the markleford`s scripts did work, but i had a prob since all the strings are a fourth apart,
so had probz applin chords since the b and the top e is tuned differenly.
is there any wa to make this instrument more expressive to velocity like a keyboard ?

also i couldnt play open strings on most patches, and on the ones i could, the notes were hanging.
i really wish i can play bass parts on this, with hat muted staccato feel,and open string its not happenin now,
man u gotta let it have standard tuning!, probably here is hat option , but there is no help file on this.
the other scripts didnt run only, dunno why
midi x ocx went over my head, i wish it had an elaborate help file..

anyways i guess most of the time its he prob with he user, so ill read all the 40 pages and get bak .thanks.....

gr8 effort guys!

There are different tuning modes included. Make sure you read the instructions on how to change modes! There are guitar tunings in there as well, and even classical string tunings (in fifths). And there are modes that handle open strings.

While the keyboard itself doesn't send out velocity, if you have a MIDI volume/controller pedal at your disposal there are ways to make that work.

All the new EZEG instruments I've seen advertised have the "C" tacked onto the end of the name, ei, "EGEZC". Anybody have one of these or know if there's any difference with the original..or if I'm just being paranoid...? FYI, I just joined, been reading the Yamaha EZ strings, and am a previous K-Muse Photon user, which I still have, though it's been acting a bit epileptic, IYDMMSS.. Also, any other Photon user's out there ?

I hadn't heard of these yet! I suppose we'll have to do a check for sysex compatibility.

Thanks for the hint. But as soon as I do this, I get "subscript out of range" errors when I hit any of the buttons on the fretboard.

Hi, sorry about that.
Try the latest update (just replace the EZ_AG 3.hta file), and let me know.

A quick question: how do I get all strings to output on the same midichannel?

I'm using the midix app.

Edit: already solved. Wrong device order in midiox.

I live in the UK and found an EZ AG in Sound Control in Glasgow. They were part of a batch ordered in for schools in the area and they had one left. They don't sell this thing to the public and it's not on their website. Another missed opportunity...

I've had it for a couple of days and I can't put it down. I have used it with Reason 3 and Sonar 4 PE with the Garritan Personal Orchestra set of samples and it works very well. Same caveats as above but since I paid £160 for it I'm not complaining.

Cool that you found one!

Make sure you try out one of the scripting systems mentioned here if you're not already: really brings it alive.

Hi M,

I didn't look through all the posts so missed your name! I got one of these on your recommendation on the GPO chat the other week - outstanding!

I will have a look at the scripts. Having a lot of fun with this thing already.

TonyM · Post by **TonyM** » Sun Oct 02, 2005 7:14 am

A question for all of you AG users out there.

I am very happy with the results I am getting from my AG however I have noticed that the E and B strings don't always trigger a note when I'm fingerpicking. It doesn't happen all the time but often enough to be a problem.

If I play very hard then the notes sound but even playing a single string with the same pressure perhaps 1 note in 10 doesn't play.

Has anyone else experienced this? Is my unit faulty?

mbncp · Post by **mbncp** » Sun Oct 02, 2005 11:02 am

Hi Tony, that doesn't sound to good.
Even when I slightly touch a string, I get a sound/MIDI message.
The only problem I had was that the G and B strings had a smaller velocity range, something I could adjust with the script.
Does this happen when using the EZ-AG internal sound or when recording/playing in your host ?

It happens in both modes I'm afraid.
