πŸ’« About Me

Hi, I’m James Shepherd-Blythe β€” arranger keyboard player of over 20 years and founder of Noteology.


I created Noteology because I believe every arranger keyboard owner deserves practical, honest resources that actually work β€” regardless of what keyboard they own or how long they’ve been playing.


Everything I produce is built around one simple philosophy β€” Learn it. Hear it. Apply it.


All Noteology styles, keyboard sets and guides are designed for the solo performer. Built completely dry, shaped using only cutoff, resonance and envelope, and ready to load and play immediately β€” no tweaking required.


Whether you own a KORG Pa700, Pa1000, Pa4x or a Yamaha Tyros 4 β€” you’re in the right place.


🎹 Thank you for being part of the Noteology community. Your support keeps new resources coming.

Noteology – Stripped Back Styles (Taster Pack) 🎹


Introductory Price: Β£3


The Noteology Stripped Back Styles Taster includes 8 carefully crafted styles designed specifically for the solo arranger keyboard performer.


These styles are balanced, dry and ready to play straight out of the box, allowing your performance to sit naturally in a live mix without competing with your playing.


Each style has been shaped using only cutoff, resonance and envelope parameters β€” no EQ, no effects and no panning. This keeps the sound clean and controlled while preserving the natural character of the instruments.


All styles are supplied completely dry, giving you full control over how they sound in different environments β€” whether you’re playing through internal speakers, a keyboard amp or a live PA system.


Style Source Information:

These styles are based on factory style foundations from the KORG Pa series and have been completely re-worked from the ground up using the Noteology approach. Each style has been carefully reshaped using cutoff, resonance and envelope parameters to create a more balanced, controlled and performance-ready sound.


This pack gives you a taste of the Noteology approach to style design β€” simple, musical and performance-focused.
