【Ravel-Bolero】YAMAHA Genos2&CVP-809 with V-console Live Performance

[SHQY]

Main Voice:
The main Voice strictly follow the instrument order and arrangement of the original symphonic score. All Voice are generated using the built-in sounds of the Genos2 (or CVP-809) without any expansion packs or external sound sources. Extensive use of the S.Art2 (Super Articulation 2) voices in Genos has been made for solo parts, creating what can be described as a "S.Art2 Voice Parade." Post-production employed V-Console and CVP-809 to expand right-hand performance layers and overlay some transposed instruments.

Rhythm:
To faithfully recreate the intricate orchestration of the original symphony, the rhythm was not based on the built-in Orchestral Bolero rhythm. Instead, it was entirely reprogrammed according to the score, with each melody segment given a dedicated variation. The entire piece uses 20 variations (across six rhythm files). Up until the 12:02 mark, all rhythm tracks are from the Genos2; afterward, rhythm tracks from the CVP-809 are gradually layered in, creating a dual-rhythm effect. Both keyboards synchronize their tempos and time signatures using MIDI clock.

MultiPad:
In the middle sections, MultiPad serves as a supplementary track for the rhythm. Later, it adds inner harmonic parts to the melody.

Note:
There are no technical challenges in playing this piece. It features only two repeating melodies (plus a coda), and the chords can be looped continuously using ChordLooper. The primary effort lies in the extensive time and energy spent on programming the rhythms and setting up tone registrations beforehand, ensuring precise adherence to the symphonic score.
