thank you Donny, yep it is a fabulous song and I must say am quite pleased with this home recording myself. I prefer very "quiet",accompaniments anyway and recently I got well over 40 "piano styles" for the Korg PA80, produced by Belgian PA prodigy Fabio.
Barnaby,
From your personal email I know you have meanwhile received some of my software for both the Solton MS40 and the Korg PA80, which by now should be on your doorstep (...or across even.....)
First of all let me put the record straight.
I was not referring to the Frankfurt Fair ,later on this week, to creat more confusion in the sense of 'picking the right keyboard'. I am sure there will be many novelties there but like others (Don M)
pointed out it will take at least 6 to 12 months before these new boards will be for sale. What I was referring to are the novelties that (hopefully) will be introduced for the existing KORG PA80, e.g.
new sample cards, styles , etc.
As to your query about the "best" piano sound:
Over the years I have found that the acoustic piano of my old and trusted Roland E70 is THE sound for me. It is a very warm and round piano sound that NEVER EVER BORES.
I know keyboards like Solton SD1 and Yamaha
PSR9000/2000 also have very good piano sounds,probably even better though that is a matter of opinion, but even there I somehow concluded that 1/ they let me down in certain musical categories and 2/ they are not as addictive as the E70 piano.
One ,very peculiar , observation however:
I very much like the E70 piano coming out of the E70 (speakersytem) itself. Hearing the same sound from its identical module (RA90) or through other sytems it takes away some of its magic, for me anyway.............
Don't forget you can probably pick up an E70 for appr. 200 quid these days !!!!!!!
In conclusion I would like to state once more that I am "blissfully" happy with my current set up, consisting of the oldies
Roland E70, the Solton MS40 (which is the module of the MS50/60) and the KORG PA80....................
regards,
john.
