OT: Lowrey Aria Pro EX6000 Demo

The ultimate organ/keyboard (The Lowrey Marquee EX5000) has just been eclipsed by the Aria Pro EX6000, however if you are of a nervous disposition be careful as you may become depressed with your current instrument, (I can already see 10s of thousands of cheque books opening all around the world to get the latest and greatest) once you have seen the videos.

Enjoy

UPDATE:

Following the withdrawal of the original 4 videos I posted, a single Video Demo is now back up and I have replaced the now defunct 4 videos with the one now on their You Tube channel, they have combined all 4 videos into 1, which I presume means they think it gives a better experience.

Enjoy

Would love to see the video's ?

Guess our checkbooks are safe .

I guess someone violated their NDA and got called out. Videos are unavailable.

Video’s got removed...

Now Bill needs to explain us what makes this lowrey so special?
As all previous lowreys looked more like a toy instead of a professional organ..

Interesting that, perhaps there were problems with the videos and the dealer has removed them to sort out a fix. (No mention of them being pulled on their Facebook Page but the link to them has now disappeared, leaving just the post that they will be uploaded later)

Bachus: There is a big grin at the end of the post which explains everything, (If still stumped look up sarcasm as it is used extensively by us Brits) plus all the recent Lowrey organs (At least for the last 20 years) are designed for the Home Hobby player to sound great, not professionals.

Aha! I missed it myself; British sarcasm! I googled "British Sarcasm" just now. The first three entries; 1. A beginner's guide to British humor in which it says, "...British humor can feel like a whole new language." 2. 'As an American, it took me four months to catch on to British sarcasm 3. Why are British people sarcastic?

I took some graduate courses in cultural anthropology years ago. A very interesting topic. Oh, btw was your thread about the Lowrey Aria Pro or British sarcasm?

Sarcasme is an emotion on itselves
Sadly, it does not work on forums..
As you can’t use tonation, or facial emotions on a forum, it generally doesn’t work

So next time when being sarcastic better use

[/sarcasm on]i am trying to be funny[/sarcasm off]

Thanks for the new video..

And it definately looks as old and awfull as i expected
Same goes for the sounds..

Makes me womder who innhis right mind would buy such a thing, if he also could buy a Wersi or Bohm sempra

UGH!

R.

what is the price of such organ?

Depends on your deal, i think they are between €30,000 and €50,000

I couldn't watch more than five minutes because I was so anxious to place an order for one. Oops, that was American-British sarcasm.

After playing my Hauptwerk organ setup with such great theatre organ and classical organ sample sets available, the theatre organ sounds on this Lowrey sound like 20 year old samples - harsh, not very realistic, etc. The classical sounds are not bad, except that buzzy pedal sound heard at one point in the classical demo. The orchestral sounds seem "OK" but not quite up to what we are used to with modern arranger keyboards (and things like Yamaha Montage) etc. The "Hammond-esque" sounds were actually pretty decent. But ... WAY too expensive for what it is. . .

It kind of sounds like they are using a camera mic rather than recording direct (?)
