  1. Unboxing/assembling the S7000 & Demoing Various Presets - By Leon
  2. Which probably means people should stop buying stuff and practice more instead! 😆
  3. Leon on Pianoteq 8. He's using the PX-S6000 as a midi controller.
  4. PX-S6000 Duet! Presets used: Privia Grand, Taxi EP & JS Organ
  5. You're very welcome! Oh yes, it takes a lot of dedication to develop that level of control. Like you said though, at the end of the day everyone has to test the board for themselves to make that final decision. Nonetheless, it's good to get some feedback and see things from someone else's perspective.
  6. @ElmerJFudd Thanks for sharing your thoughts and questions. I shared your post with Leon and he thought it'd be a good idea to actually record a few demos. Sometimes it's just hard to get the point across without visual help. He has LONG fingers, and even he has to play close to the fallboard to accommodate for large advanced voicings. Also, towards the end of the video, he plays more demos that showcase the playability of these keyboards across the entire range/key length ...as well as the white vs. black key weight difference discussion. Obviously one's hand size and playing habits would always be a deciding factor as well. Some musicians are not as flexible. They could even have trouble playing different acoustic pianos, let alone different digital pianos. Sometimes it's just personal taste that gets in the way.
  7. I'm so glad you provided a very specific example. I will get back to you on this for sure.
  8. Here's a short demo for Stage EP (Casio S6000). It's preset #33.
  9. Ok, so I tried that. Yes the further you go toward the back the key gets heavier....BUT it's only really noticeable when you're all the way back and actually touching the top panel. That would be the most un-natural and rather painful position to be anyway, so it's VERY easy to adjust and adapt. I even tried on purpose to play something that way, and it's just not how I play piano, be it an acoustic grand, a Kronos or Casio.
  10. Intakt and later Absynth -now Absent- were my first NI instruments. I'm still on NI Collector 12. I had no reason to upgrade to 13. Maybe I'll find something interesting this time.
  11. I do not at the moment. Leon has it at his house. But I'll definitely bring it up when I talk to him. You're right about that though. I don't think I've ever played any DP with short keys that doesn't have that issue.
  12. Absolutely! It has good sounding pianos, and keys handle advanced techniques very well. Time will tell, if it's a durable keyboard, but for now it checks all the boxes for the price range. Such a beautiful instrument!
  13. Leon , my pianist friend recorded a wonderful demo for the PX S6000.
  14. Oh I think I forgot to mention my latest piano, 'Hammers + Waves' by Skybox Audio. I already have good sounding pianos, so why is this my new favorite? It's basically Noire on steroid. I like Noire's particle engine but it's more like a toy than anything else. It gets predictable very quick. Skybox has done a pretty amazing job with sound design aspect of the library. I can't think of anything else that comes close to it. Heavyocity has some obscure sound design piano libraries I think, but those are more like pads and drones. H + W is totally playable both as a traditional and sound design piano. If you just want to play piano, then this might be an overkill, but it's a perfect tool for composer types. My friend Leon recorded a first impression no-talk performance video. It showcases little bit of both. And this is a short composition using 'Dulcitone' from H + W
