Broadjam Newsletter - July 22, 2009


Broadjam News

Broadjam allows members to make one song per member profile available for free MP3 download. Not only is it a great way for artists to attract new fans, but it can also be purposed in multiple promotional situations. We encourage every member to make a song available for free download.

To make a song available for free, login to your Broadjam account and click the “songs” button under the My Content header on the left hand side of the page. Click on “not free” to the right of the song you want to be free. The status will then change to “free.” The song will then appear on your profile as free and will be available as an MP3 to fans and other artists.

Our template library for Broadjam hosting is growing again. We’ve added more designs this month and will be adding more next month as well.

Korg

Korg has dubbed their new Pa500 keyboard "The Songwriting Station". Combining professional workstation features with powerful songwriting tools, The Pa500 is an excellent production partner for all musicians, regardless of keyboard proficiency. Korg’s RX (Real eXperience) technology provides over 800 editable sounds – accurately recreating the character and expressive potential of each. On-board, studio-quality effects provide a professional polish.

The heart of the Pa500 is the Style engine. Each of the 320 Styles is a complete musical environment for creating original songs or arrangements. By following your chord changes, the Pa500 can enhance your performance by introducing drum grooves, percussion patterns, and bass riffs to set things in motion. Up to five additional parts can be called upon to fill out the backing section. This can all be done on the fly.

To write a song, the guitarist or novice keyboardist can simply type in chords using the intuitive TouchView panel. In place of editing events by track and measure, the Pa500 allows the player to simply substitute a new chord, and all of the Style parts (bass, guitar, strings, etc.) will be instantly re-written. Best of all, the Style engine can audition different arrangements of your tune. For example, you can listen to your song as a Folk Ballad, British Pop, or Modern Country tune!

For piano purists, the Pa588 offers all the Pa500 features teamed with Korg's finest 88-key graded hammer action (RH3).
