BlackWinny « Played four hands is really great! »
Published on 04/14/14 at 16:37In fact, the instrument presented by Audiofanzine that is left of a set of two instruments. The manufacturer sent me there a few days ago the right side as a gift (it will be available on the market sometime in May or June). His appearance differs little except that it is pink and has a small keyboard keys 7 instead of 5, which allows with the left part of a complete keyboard an octave.
Here is a photo I took of my two instruments:

The manual on the left side (the well-known blue keyboard) is already heavy and consistent with its 512 pages in English in small print. But the manual on the right side (pink keyboard) is even thicker with its 768 pages. And in fact it is exactly the same book, with its 36 years of progressive difficulty, except that it contains many color photos, detailed drawings of the best on the positions of the fingers in each year, as well as explanations more detailed than for blue keyboard, including the most simple manipulations. And the manufacturer clearly states in the preface that the manual the pink part has been designed to the attention of charming young European people with generally more likely to love the accessories especially pink candy or old rose as keyboard very light hair, , and also often require longer and more detailed explanations. Also for men who request the purchase of two keyboards in the same order (this will be a sine qua non) will receive a free gift (he sent me too) from the manufacturer He is a great calendar format 32x48 24 pages of great pictures spread all in excellent color, with lovely people very, very little but taking all dressed in their little hands a copy of the dual instrument (assembled as discussed below) for advertising.
The manual is entirely in English (in broken English but with the pictures everyone will understand easily especially with a first prior musical experience) seems to have been written there is not a lot of time by an inhabitant of a former British colony, India certainly given certain terms (such as chapter titles) that have clearly not been anglicized properly and that obviously was first written in Indian language. It is a manual of 36 chapters all extremely detailed (with all necessary images and photos in the latest version in advance) on all that is possible with these two instruments connected together. It is absolutely essential to go through the preliminary step of a few pages of the Introduction manual for full understanding more. This is probably because many readers do not read the introduction of books they buy they have not fully understood how it works wonderful small double instrument and have obviously also not understand that there are two instruments necessary and not one to be able to reach the seventh heaven musicians.
UTILIZATION
Connection and implementation of this extraordinary little instrument with two additional keyboards is clearly detailed in the preamble just before the Introduction (which itself is actually the last part of the Preamble itself contains some very useful tips on the Planning of the room and the atmosphere to be created before the session to get the most pleasantly perceived music to the ears). Also, this step is so exciting that I did not hesitate to make you discover here an abridged course. Incidentally you will understand why this prior reading is absolutely essential and unavoidable before tackling the thorough reading of 36 technical chapters of the manual.
The process of linking the two instruments is a little complicated for the uninitiated, especially for a very young teenager, this magnificent double instrument and manual is actually rather reserved for adults or teenagers who've passed least fifteen years. However it has a particular interest to offer this small double instrument to a young boy (or girl) who dismay of his parents still has 18 years to want to play again alone with his instrument in his room.
For simplicity I will discuss later in "blue keyboard" and "pink keyboard."
We must begin by turning the two smaller units after they each removed from its protective tissue 'stretch "gallantly offered by the manufacturer. Then the" blue key "must play sequence" MiMi Dodo?. "Then on "Pink Keyboard" must play sequence "Sii Sii, LAAAA" (with "the" twice the length of a "if" is important.) At the same time we see the automatic opening a small hatch on the left side of the pink keyboard, just halfway to the place that the manufacturer has materialized by a small additional horizontal white arrow that does not exist on the blue keyboard. careful especially not err playing "Dodo MiMi?" on blue keyboard! Because if instead we play "Dodo Remi?" pink keyboard turns off suddenly and permanently and will remain impossible to relight it must be sent to the manufacturer who will carry out exchange against payment of an additional fee.
When the little door opens halfway up the left side of the pink keyboard, a link "DentBleue" settled temporarily to trigger the appearance of a large enough Jacques jack on the right side of the blue keyboard, big enough and clearly visible (you can not not see it) but just the right size for the small door located halfway up the pink keyboard. It should then play on the blue keyboard sequence "Mire Mire, MiMi!"
On the left side of the keyboard rose through the DentBleue link, just above the small hatch then flashes quickly led a small, pale pink first and then pulling more to the bright red, indicating the rose is ready.
SOUNDS
It is then very gently sooooo slowly engage the firm grip Jacques blue keyboard in the small hatch pink keyboard. Especially not to go too fast at the bottom! They must be very leeeeentement advancing very slowly to the bottom (it is precisely so insistent in the manual), otherwise the pink keyboard starts shouting "Brute!" (This is the name of the model created by the manufacturer, as everyone knows), taking the blue keyboard is ejected, the little red LED turns off and the small hatch tends to hang obstinately closed position . It is imperative to start over and try gently to the hinge of the door to work with small fingers (personally I prefer with the language). Note: It is advisable to allow plenty of time before sure it works properly, but with patience, a lot of softness and delicacy in the small hatch very fragile pink keyboard you eventually get there.
However, if the introduction of taking the blue key in the small hatch pink keyboard is smooth (ideally it takes about 7-10 seconds between the introduction and the arrival in the background, if can not do at the beginning you have to train for it is really ideal), pink keyboard will emit during this time a very long and pleasant melodious sound of the note "Laaaaaaaaaa". And so automatic two small long enough hooks on the side of both sides of the small hatch pink keyboard (you can see the hinge right up to the small hatch on the photo) are released and will clasp and maintain very firmly together closely throughout the future your playing. When the connector blue keyboard arrived (very slowly, as I recall) to the bottom of the door (it feels good when you can not go any further), pink keyboard then sends now a somewhat fuller sound ( thanks to its low-pass filter frequency scanning), Mi which clearly resembles a powerful "Muiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii ...." (which proves that the direct connection between the two instruments is now perfect since the note E is on blue and not pink keyboard keyboard) and blue keyboard issues its own deep well and an audible "Fââââââ!" (Which proves again that the connection is perfect in both directions as the note F is on the pink keyboard and not the blue keyboard).
Pink keyboard will emit a few short sounds a bit energetic requirements vaguely resembling "FIRE! FIRE!" on a slightly sharp tone reminiscent damned accent and intonation of pretty young singers of Bollywood (besides the accent of Fa "FIRE" issued you can clearly hear that the instrument resolutely Indian manufacturing reproduces poorly the phoneme "V" of the European languages, but women are charming Indian languages languages and so nice ... Indian languages are also the nicest languages in the world, from all points of view) that indicating that the unit is now ready to play no matter what partition, if necessary with the help of one of the 36 chapters of the manual. A manual, as I recall, obviously written by this old Indian for a style of music that remain resolutely modern and most popular in the world, even a very acoustic music with more contemporary instruments. A manual of music that I recommend very, very strongly seen reading the staggering number of things we think we know about this kind of music and we discover with delight in this exciting manual!
OVERALL OPINION
Also note that when you use during a concert it is better to make this connection between the two instruments> BEFORE <to start the concert and not to the public. Saturday night in the middle of a concert I realized that I had forgotten to connect the scenes, and I can make it to the public. In a huge cathedral silence cellist began to caress her instrument and the flute seemed deeply embarrassed in his corner while saxophonist seemed particularly proud of his side, but what is amazing is the incredible amount of smiles sly that I've seen in the first three rows of the public, will be followed by a thunderous applause throughout the room when the connection was made and I could play my duet with my partner also keyboardist ( because this little instrument is played preferably four hands) that the passage is an extraordinary singer I know of long experience (since this is my wife) to be particularly expert in the very difficult technical oriental languages (which require high flexibility of the body).
I suggest very strongly that small double instrument at all lonely looking for partners (or already having an excellent partner, even a beginner) to play extraordinary partitions duo musicians.
All a bit expensive but it was worth the price, especially when we know very well play the keyboard duet. And if you really intend to play one definitely do not forget to ask for the free calendar builder! It shall be renewed every year!
