Super Driver in Piano

Super Driver – Piano (weak).ogg (5125 KB)

When I was recording this, I was mostly listening to the background instruments in the song rather than the vocals for the most part. I also find that it tends to be weak unless I strike the keys hard enough. Maybe I should have set the touch sensitivity to Soft rather than Medium.

This was done on a Yamaha PSR-273 with a transpose of… -8. I cannot play anything above D Major and under F Major. Then again, I never finished Piano Lessons when I was younger, and even then, I was at a Grade 3 level for a few years.
