kanker. Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Zarenbourg perhaps? A ROMpler is just a polyphonic turntable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bloodyMary Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Nope, not the Zarenbourg. Never saw anything like this one, and I spend more time GASsing for gear than actually playing.

Sven Golly Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 No reason it couldn't be acting as nothing more than a MIDI controller for a soft synth... If it's anything even remotely new, they're definitely going retro with the knob/keypad button styling. Whatever it is, I don't recognize it, sorry.

kanker. Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Nope, not the Zarenbourg. Never saw anything like this one, and I spend more time GASsing for gear than actually playing. Why do you say no? Because of the mock ups on the Waldorf site? That thing may have progressed significantly since it was first displayed (or it may have ceased development too...). The color of the cabinet looks oddly orange like the mock ups on the Waldorf site, and the interface is quite unique, very un-Big 3. I'd say it's as good a guess as any.

RedKey Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 I love the geometry of the keyboard. With the forward facing panel, you could get a second board really tight above it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanker. Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 No reason it couldn't be acting as nothing more than a MIDI controller for a soft synth... Yeah, that crossed my mind too. It sounds pretty good whatever it is, which is why I hope it's a real product in development. A ROMpler is just a polyphonic turntable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zephonic Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 I think it is a cleverly disguised viral marketing campaign. The poster signed up last month and has not watched any vids, just posted three with this particular keyboard. I got $5 saying they're creating an internet buzz for a new product. Be damned if I know which one, but that Zarenbourg thingy seems a likely candidate...

Dana. Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 +1 on Zephonic's viral marketing campaign theory. Whatever it is, it appears to be sitting atop an X stand. There are two piano demos and the sound reminds me of the V-Piano. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Muscara Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 The Mac keyboard directly above it supports the MIDI controller/soft synth theory. "I'm so crazy, I don't know this is impossible!

Alexander Nagel Posted August 25, 2009 Author Share Posted August 25, 2009 PS: I would not be surprised if the OP had something to do with it I promise I'm in no way involved in this viral marketing campaign. I found the link to this youtube account reading a German keyboard player forum (http://forum.keyboards.de), where another guy was asking the same question as I am here. I've never heard about the Zarenbourg before and just googled it - though I don't think it looks like the board in this video. Anyway, keep the guesses coming!

Tusker Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Those are some good sounds. I'd second the guess that it's the gigable version of the V-piano technology. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aidan Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Perhaps we can get Steve Fortner to "leak" an exclusive video again - just kiddin', Steve! I dunno - if that's the finished article, it certainly doesn't chime with any current Roland design - it would more likely be black and have a central LCD display. That numberpad reminds me of a Polymoog Studio: Yamaha P515 | Yamaha Tyros 5 | Yamaha HX1 | Moog Sub 37 Road: Yamaha YC88 | Nord Electro 5D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Throbert Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 What I can see of the case it looks like the new Rhodes. OH wait, no I was wrong the Rhodes has no knobs like that Triton Extreme 76, Kawai ES3, GEM-RPX, HX3/Drawbar control, MSI Z97 MPower/4790K, Lynx Aurora 8/MADI/AES16e, OP-X PRO, Ptec, Komplete.

Synthoid Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 People have asked him what keyboard it is in the YouTube posts. He hasn't responded... a bit rude I'd say. When an eel hits your eye like a big pizza pie, that's a Moray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
