Steve Nathan Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 I finally played that Nord Piano 88 (that debuted in Anaheim) today. Not bad. Nice sounds and good feel. I liked some of the "Upright" sounds in particular. Not really expecting much else. These summer shows have fewer and fewer things to offer keys players it seems. I know Korg is not exhibiting and I believe Roland is skipping as well (although both will be there "taking meetings". I took a listen to some mikes with potential by a new company named Miktek. They're actually built here in Nashville and I made tentative arrangements with the owner to try a couple out on piano in the near future. I'll report back when that happens. Don't rush me. I'm playing as slowly as I can! http://www.stevenathanmusic.com/stevenathanmusic.com/HOME.html https://apple.co/2EGpYXK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMcS Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 I took a listen to some mikes If you get a chance, you might look into these: Lampifier microphones A friend of mine has been developing these for a few years. He has a model for amps and Leslies: Leslie mic. and piano: Piano mic. There are models tuned for a wide range of instruments, voices and applications.

Bobadohshe Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 I wouldn't expect a deluge of innovative new stuff hitting the floor right now. Our industry, like many, is quite slow at the moment. It's a wonder Winter NAMM 2010 was as big as it was to be honest. I bet NAMM 2011 isn't as good, though it's a little soon to start talking about it.

dementia13 Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 I wouldn't expect a deluge..... Just heard that the show floor is flooded at least partially due to severe thunderstorms. Set up should be even more fun than usual. I just thought those two posts looked funny, coming close together like that. Seriously, though, I was thinking of making the trip over there on Sunday, and there have been thunderstorms strong enough to cause flash floods rolling through. I'm sure the ground's still saturated from last month's floods. Have there been any problems there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Nathan Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 Kind of a copy of a post I put in the "Numa Organ" thread but thought it should have gone here. Played the Numa Organ today and it sounds pretty damn good. It was right around the corner from the Nord C2 which also sounds pretty damn good. Can't help but prefer the real drawbars on the Numa though. The Numa piano wasn't bad either. I'm not the guy to offer comparisons, since I don't play any of the digi-pianos regularly, but I was surprised at how much I didn't mind both the Numa Piano and the Nord 88 Piano. A lot of realism in the sounds and playability. I also played a nice sounding new (I think) Kurzweil and finally touched a Privia (which was much better than I expected though not in the league soundwise of the others). As requested, I went by the Lamplifier Microphones booth and talked to the guy for a while. They may be good for live, but I didn't think he had anything for me. His mikes have processing built in, compression, eq, etc. basically to make setup quicker, and to enable a less experienced sound person to theoretically get a "good" sound without really knowing much about sound I guess. They are not expensive, so if you find you like the "pre-sculpted" sound of his mikes on certain instruments, it might make sense, but I didn't find the idea appealing. Not a lot to get excited about in the keys realm as expected. Some interesting high end audio stuff including a number of attractive mikes and processors. Lots of guitar and drum stuff of course and a few interesting "meant for guitar but could work on keys" pedals. Don't rush me.

They may be good for live, but I didn't think he had anything for me. Thanks for checking them out. Initially his intention was to develop a microphone that resisted feedback and I think it grew from there. Your description of where they would be most useful is spot on I think. It describes how I've seen the prototypes used over the last few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Nathan Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 Only got by for an hour today, but spent it playing clones and digi-pianos. I posted a little in the "Nord piano beats Roland/Yamaha thread, and the Numa Organ thread. Don't rush me.

Mike Martin Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 I did get the video stream working today but there was no audio so I shut it down because the booth was getting too busy to mess with it. In any case, I'll be doing a PX-3 "online clinic" using Ustream.tv very soon. Right now I'm thinking the evening of June 29th or June 30th At the Casio office - in a controlled environment I think I can get it to look and sound pretty good. It's interactive so everyone can ask questions which hopefully I'll be able to address on the spot.

Tobias Åslund Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 So, really no keyboard related news whatsoever this year? Must be the lamest Summer NAMM ever... So - when is the next big event like this? There must be something before Winter NAMM, or...? I have my hopes up that Nord will release a successor to the Stage, with improved organ and ability to load samples in the synth section as well... but that's of course just hopes, not based on any rumors or so... well well - Winter NAMM is only seven month away... Too much stuff, too little time, too few gigs, should spend more time practicing...! 🙄 main instruments: Nord Stage 3 compact, Yamaha CP88, Kurzweil PC4, Viscount KeyB Legend Live Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
