Styles. The folders on my Gig Disks are organized similarly
to the folders on my Tyros hard drive with 10 main categories
allowing for the 3 subcategories in Swing (Fast, Medium, and Slow).
On my hard drive, the Misc category has additional sub categories
for Polka, Irish, Xmas etc. (See Scott's article on "Organizing
Files" for more of an explaination of how he organizes
his file system. - JW)
The reason I did it this way, even having some
empty category folders on some disks, was so that each disk would
have the same listing in the exact same spot on one page, without
having to go to another page. After awhile, this all becomes automatic.
Otherwise, if the categories were different from disk to disk,
it would be one more thing to concentrate on in a live gig situation.
As it is, there are enough things to consider in that situation,
for sure. (Note: In the disks below, I have rearranged some
files so that there are no empty folders since an empty folder
does not get sent in a ZIP file. - JW)
With all these disks laying around at home, I
just kept thinking how can I set these up so I can use the same
system that has a hard drive or SD card when I'm ready, and not
have to change a thing. When I got my Tyros, it was relatively
easy to transfer this floppy disk organizational scheme over to
the hard drive without any major changes. Just think, by the time
the PSR-3000 comes out, if people are using the 10 one-page category
system, they will be able to take these gig disks and just load
them in, all set to go. There really was a method to my madness.
Any of these main categories could easily end
up with more subcategories if using a hard drive or SD card. Ballad
could end up with tunes that are 6/8 ballad, one for 8 beat, etc.
Swing could be divided into Big Band and Combo, each with Fast,
Medium, and Slow. Misc could end up being any thing that doesn't
fit into the other categories like, Irish, Polka, Old Time, Marches,
Scot-Irish, Christmas, etc, etc.
You may question some of the categories I selected
for cerrtain tunes. But, I used what made sense to me. For example,
in R&B there are some tunes that may be questionably R&B.
But I thought was the way to go here was to include any actual
R&B tune along with anything that used a blues type progression,
be it fast or slow. I am referring to "modern" or post-1960ish
tunes. I generally put standard blues or pre-1960ish songs into
the swing category.
It also seemed to me that the 10 one-page categories
would cover all of the major style and song types in a much easier
and logical manner than what you find on a lot of keyboards now.
For example: Dance and Disco could easily be placed into Pop;
Movie and Show and World can be put into one of the other main
categories as all of those will logically fit into one of the
ten.
