They do some cool video stuff....I don't think the screens you see are going to come up...just in their video demos.
I just bought some stuff from them for my SX-900, excellent quality.

[anon125]

thanks but what are they?
they say they are NOT styles.

[EileenL]

They are just pictures of artists who's songs they are playing. These will not be on the registrations you buy.

[Bill]

thanks but what are they?
they say they are NOT styles.

You decide what you want. either Registrations OR MIDI that shows the Scores.

i am still in the dark about what that company sells!
thanks

This is a demo of software products that soundwonderland sell which can be played on the SC900. They are selling software not the keyboards.

Hi Anon125,
I removed my post, as I did not understand the question ... this is what they sell ... for Glenn Miller two pack recordings   (n. 16 .rgt) , for  ABBA it is a learning package ...

what is a (.rgt) package?

Hi Annon,
Soundwonderland is making sounds(voices),styles,registrations and midi songs for keyboards.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oVSmjvxCRo0&t=375s

You can check their packs on their website and choose which model you want them for,
so there would be no missing sounds or bad equalization on your model while the styles and sounds are playing if you buy them e.g for a SX900.

https://soundwonderland.de/pages/en/shop/styles.php

One of the advantages of newer models that they can play more than one "pack" of purchased styles/voices.

Heidrun from Wonderland who plays wonderfully the SX900 in most on the above video is also member of this forum.

In general you can buy several "stuff" when you have an arranger keyboard:

a) Individuals styles
Those are styles that are for specific songs and use the drumkits and voices that are installed in your keyboard.

b)Packs of styles and voices
that are copy protected and they play on your keyboard
by using both drumkits and voices of your keyboard but also new drumkits and voices that your keyboard dosn;t have.
There is a limit in gigabytes of how many of those packs you can install on each new model.

c)Registrations.
These are "settings" that use your keyboards preset styles and preset voices for playing usually specific songs.
E.g
Let's say there is a suitable style on your PSR SX900 for playing "Dancing Queen".
But you don't  if there is any style for this song on your model,or you don't have the skills or time to search to identify which one it is and what you need to change(tempo/voices/mute some channels etc) to be as close as possible to "Dancing Queen"

Example No 2:
You know that the style "Viennese Waltz 3/4" is suitable for playing shostakovich's waltz 2.
But the right and left hand voices of the preset OTS are not exactly the voices you want to use.
You want the voices to be as close as possible to the voices to Andre Rieu's version.
Do you know how to find the combination of voices and after applying a lot of effects,only then they will be what you want them to sound?
That's why people prefer to buy some registations made by others.

d)Midi files (Midi songs)
Suitable to play along with them or to use them to learn a song.(The sheet music of a midi file is displayed on your keyboard)
These midi files are using your keyboards preset drumkits/voices.

So on the website page above you can check if something is a style,a registration or a midi.

[mikf]

They sell a variety of software products for Yamaha keyboards. Their reputation is quite good but products are a little pricey.
In the case you show, the products are either registrations or midis. Registrations  (rgt) only set your keyboard up so you can  play the song. It saves you setting up a style, voices effects etc. But midis will play the song for you while showing the score so you can play along with it.
Of course you have to own an SX900 to use them.

And if you click on the [FILM] logo you can 'see AND hear' a demo! Heidrun has made it soo easy for us ;-))

[anon125]

so much to learn!
thanks folks

[rcpilot]

I recommend their products they are really nice...if they were less expensive I would buy a lot more...or if the bundling prices were better I would also get more from them.
They are really nice folks...too.

[Heidrun]

Hi folks,

I've got a hint that there's a discussion here about our products.

We are happy to read that you like our work!

We put much effort and experience in our software that the keyboard players enjoy their instruments much more as they have ever done.
That is our very first aim beneath all the support we give to the musicians per mal and telephone for free.

The feedbacks show that we are on the right path!

Let me write a bit about us.



Charly (my better half) is an Austrian emigrant who lives in Germany now together with me. LOL
He has got the inclination for the wonderful Alpine music with the"mother milk".
So he is specialiste for Stubenmusic, Oberkrainer music ect.

And he is one-man band more that 30 years now with much experience what is needed on stage.

He is no notist - and who knows his phantastical Midifile playbacks may be astonished about his arranging ideas and the sound that is played back with a simple keyboard.
I am always very impressed about his work.
In Austria he was probably one of the very first musicians who programmed Midi files in these early times of the Atari Notator program!
So much experience also here until today.

By the way: Just visit our "Creative" Shop category and you will discover that he is also a wonderful singer/songwriter.



About me.
I studied graphic design in earlier times - without computer! And I am one-woman-band since 1983 and a Yamaha freelancer since 1984 in southwest Germany.
Can you imagine all the questions the Yamaha keyboarders gave to me until today, presenting Yamaha keyboards in stores and on consumer fairs - also the Frankfurter Musikmesse?

It was so much that I started 2001 with "Heidruns Musikerseiten" (https://heidruns-musikerseiten.de/) because I recognized that they need more help.
I am sure that many of you know my sites with all the support and downloads you get there for free.

Until today my focus is to support others. But each of us has to get the daily bread somehow.
And so I am happy to create products like registrations and learning Midi files that are recorded with these registrations.

The aim is that the keyboard players can achieve the same professional sound when they play the songs live on their keyboards - without additional Expansion software one has to use a YEM!

Now to all of you that think our products are a bit pricey:

Did you ever program one single Midi file with lyrics, song markers, chords, score and vocal track and different instrument tracks like an orchestra score from scratch?

Have you ever developed professional registrations that represents the sound of Glenn Miller, Bert Kaempfert and so many more musicians and composers?
But WITHOUT usage of external styles and sounds ... only with the keyboard basics?

Do you know what is behind a professional video production you have to create all photos, music and speech records, the text before the cut ... anything by yourself?

Here I give a little insight: https://youtu.be/M9FsoXSHTDc?t=3049

Each picture, each text on our homepage is created by myself. Around that there a few friends that help with website programming, translation - that you also have an English version (kindest thanks to Roland!!!) -  proofreading and testing our products.

...

Let me ask you something.
Do you mean that we should get a few Euros for our huge work or is it not worth while?

I hope that my comment gives you a little insight about what we do and who is the heart of Soundwonderland.

Kind regards from Heidrun and Charly

P. S. The pictures in the keyboard screen of my videos are virtual - so set in the video cut and not the real content of the displays! :-)

[beykock]

Hi H,

Thank you very much for your kind words and interesting additional info.👍

BTW
Any idea where I can find a pro vocal pack for the SX700 ?

Your reply would be very much appreciated.
Herzlichen Dank !🍀

Best wishes, Babette

[Heidrun]

Dear Babette,

unfortunately the SR-SX700 has no vocalist. So you cannot use any vocal packs!

For all who have SX900 or a top model:
You'll find it in our "Vocal" category:

https://soundwonderland.de/pages/en/shop/vocal.php

There is a difference if you play with Midi files or styles because there are two ways to get a choir.

The one is the vocalist track of Midi files.
So a Midi channel that contains muted notes. These notes tell the vocalist which additional notes you can hear together with your lead voice when you sing into the microphone.

The other vocalist type control is the chordal one.
It sets choir voices automaticaly (and not always correct!) - based on the chord information from style play or the chord hints you find in Midi files.
This vocalist type needs information about the vocal pitch of the singer (male/female timbre, soprano, allto, tenor, baritone, bass, ...).

If you don't know your one - just test it here! 

https://youtu.be/f81MWCDvWz8?t=1368

But listen if you have detected the right octave!! Check it by playing on the keyboard keys! 

Kind regards, Heidrun

[anon125]

so much to learn
thanks

[tomsixtwo]

The lack of appreciation of creative work seems to be a massive problem, especially (but not only) in the arranger keyboard scene. Anyway, this comes to my mind when I see that USB sticks with many thousands of (probably stolen) styles are offered on eBay for 30 EUR.

Charly (my better half) is an Austrian emigrant who lives in Germany now together with me. LOL

Wie kann man Österreich nur freiwillig verlassen? Das wäre mein Einwanderungsland Nummer Eins. Aber wahrscheinlich sehe ich das zu sehr aus der Urlauberbrille

If the vocal voices are sample based and included in the pack, then you can use it in an S700, but I don't know what pack you're referring to.

[Aquilauno]

Hello Heidrun,
I was struck by the "cleanliness", care and very intuitive format of your site, and how the product is described in the interest of the possible customer. I think globalization also has positive sides, including being able to use a passion as a job and reach many people around the world. Yours works are highly appreciated.

[Heidrun]

@ tomsixtwo
... welche Überzeugungskunst ich dafür gebraucht hab... *schwitz*!!
Aber an der langen Leine darf er jederzeit dort einen Besuch machen! 

@ beakybird
No, these voices only have been for the demos because the singers live hundreds of kilometers from us.
I played the voice snippets with my computer - and used the keyboard microphone jack to connect both per cable.
Only Charly has sung live!

It makes no sense to use those snippets with a PSR-SX700.
That is no substitute for a vocalist!

@ Aquilauno Yes, I agree.
I never thought that I could reach Yamaha keyboarders around the world with my work somedays.
But Rolands translation work is a huge help.

Although - it is wellcome to learn English by writing so many people!

Cleanliness and care.... yes. As I've written before, my first aim is to help.
Making money is only a need to survive, nothing more.

So I also try to give best information BEFORE a purchase to make the musicians know if they really need the product or not.

I think our customers know that they are treated well from us... and fair! :-)

Kind regards, Heidrun

[rcpilot]

Yes, Sondwonderland (Heidrun and Charlie) are very conscientious and I have been treated very well.
I plan on getting a few more of their products. I have 3 of their registration sets and they are very good indeed. All for my SX. Many thanks to them for supporting the SX-900. The demos really show what can be done , even though I can not play like them!....but it is encouragement to do better! As to prices it is a lot of work to do quality products and their prices IMHO are fine,,,,,I just can only justify spending so much on additional things for the SX-900....so I will get some more when I can.

My suggestion get one of their products, and try it....

+1 .
In the last 2 years I changedfrom  the Ty5, Genos and PSR770.  With help of SW I could get (free) updates for the 'Lern-Combi paketten' and 'Registrierungen' for the various models. And I'm happy with all those instructional and helpful vids they made. May be said once  ...

[Heidrun]

Thank you very much, Lee and Ton.

It was extremely much work to get our products optimized for the new keyboard generation.
Just try my Tyros5 registrations on Genos and you know what I mean... ;-)
The problem was that I often revoiced the preset styles to get the sound of the original songs.

But the revoicing doesn't sound good if the new generation preset styles use Revo drums.
That doesn't fit!

Then Yamaha left away some of the styles I used for my registrations.
To get a substitute - or to get the missing Tyros5 styles back via download from Yamaha, that was the first importance with my Genos upgrades.
Problems our clients don't know about ... ;-)

To offer upgrades for free is really a gift to them!

Kind regards, Heidrun

[Heidrun]

P. S.: Thanks to Yamaha that the PSR-SX series have 3 Right voices and many voices of the top models.
So it is the first time that I have the chance also to build registrations for the mid-class-keyboards.

It is really astonishing what can be achieved also for them!

At the moment I make a new video for orchestral Multi Pads - also for PSR-SX.
First time I show a product for 3 different keyboards in one video: Tyros4, SX900 and Genos.

Very interesting to hear the basic sound differences!

Kind regards, Heidrun

Hi,
I've bought some items in the last couple of weeks or so. A bit expensive for me, but only because our Australian dollar has dropped in value.

But not complaining, I am really enjoying It.

Bought one of the Learning packs to help with my new piano.
Actually taken me in a totally different direction to how I had initially planned using my sx900 and p121.

Instead of playing arranger decided to focus on piano and use arranger for backing.

So for me, Soundwonderland has been a great find.

[anon125]

Bought one of the Learning packs to help with my new piano.
what is in the pack and what does it do?
thanks

[rikkisbears]

Hi Anon,
Basically I wanted to go back to playing a bit of piano with backing.

The pack I bought is from the Steps series
