I've never been that fussed with Roland pianos for that reason. The RD88 makes a good lightweight weighted action controller for me, so I don't use the onboard sounds all that much. I was wondering about the SN Piano 3, and whether the upgrade was worth it for getting a "better" onboard piano, but I'm finding it hard to locate any meaningful auditions online, as the playing examples are all the same tired jazzy demo stuff which hides the true nature of the note characteristics. So probably not worth the EX software upgrade to me. To me also, the thing which lets the SN pianos down, is not the realism of the tones, or expressiveness, but the general spatial ambience is dull, when compared to my best samples libraries, and indeed my real acoustic. I have found as a controller, the PHA4 slowness, is quite well overcome with a lighter velocity setting, and I find this makes it quite sensitive for fast playing, as I don't have to get the key all the way to the bottom quite as much. I treat the RD88 for what it is, as I can't go carting the M8x around everywhere. I agree, the playability of my M8x is far greater than the Roland action by far, and the pianos on the Montage have a nicer realism. -

Impressive, would you ditch using a DAW on a PC/Mac for it? It's clear it's quite capable for mixing as well. Maybe not the best tool for mastering. -
The more it is a SHOW the more likely it is tracks and playback engineers every aspect is on a master sync clock. -
I'm excited, yet, I'm worried. I know Akai's history of introducing bugs with the simplest updates. I'm also surprised that they announced that they have no plans to update the computer software in 2024 and projects created on the new version would not transfer to the computer version of MPC. -
Sort of makes you want to go back to the days when synths were not programmable. You never had these issues, and you got really good at dialing in a patch in the dark in less than 5 seconds while the rest of the band looked at you like "Would you hurry!" ... ... ... Okay. Maybe not. 🙃

Yes! And also big, good knobs on a large panel. Well, in this case I'm almost sure there were problems with the video camera, because I noticed the issue while editing, much before uploading the video on YT. While I was shooting the video, I had set up the lights and the camera settings exactly like in previous videos, but the outcome was so bad that for the first time ever, I had to attempt corrections in the editing stage. It was only partially useful, and it added some artifacts to the image (you can notice that on my hands, for example). Btw, thanks for the suggestion, I'll give it a try. -

I always reduce video to 1024x720 before uploading to YT. It will still get compressed but not horribly grainy. -
