help me understand the theory of this beautiful progression
torhu replied to konaboy's topic in The Keyboard Corner
I suppose you could say that the Fmaj and Em7 chords are in the key of C. You could also say that Em7 is a chord from both D and C major, it creates an ambiguity, and serves to tie the two keys together. Not sure of the terminology involved, I don't know the English terms for this. A simpler way of looking at it is that when you reach the Fmaj7 chord, you are creating a pattern of descending seconds (and sequencing maj7 chords). If you play a Cmaj7 instead of Em7 the pattern will be more obvious, but the Em7 is also a common substitution for C major chords. The Em7 breaks the pattern, but in a gentle way. -
I think there are four solo Rhodes tracks on this album. It's a classic album, but not really because of those tracks...

Is the lower manual weighted, looks like longer keys?

I am going to assume this is a sick joke

I think the guy in the video said there's no organ engine in this one, though.

Maybe it's reasonable software updates for one of the smaller companies, but I don't see Roland doing any of those things. And the part about panning probably isn't even possible due to how it's implemented in the hardware. I hope to be wrong, but that would mean that Roland isn't Roland anymore. That board was probably a logical response to increased competition in the lower end of the market, not a sign of Roland becoming a more customer focused company. Big company = no flexibility. It's why Clavia makes such great stuff.

Yeah, the iPad app definitely has synth editing in it (at least it does in the screenshots). Does this mean that you can't edit those parameters without an iPad? There must be some reason why Roland doesn't mention the VA synth anywhere on their various websites. On the other hand, the FP-7F has the VK organ engine without it being mentioned anywhere outside of the manual. Who knows if it is a marketing decision or just an oversight...

As far as I can tell, there is no VA synth in this board. It's all sampling, except for the organ simulator. Only the usual Attack/Decay/Release/Cutoff/Resonance settings, I would think. You would think that Roland would mention it somewhere if it had anything else, and they don't.

Would be interesting to know if this thing actually contains an updated organ engine. The "Supernatural" part is new, and there's also mention of a new model of a "transistor-type 60's organ tone". So they have clearly been doing some work on their organ simulation. How much, nobody knows yet.
