Al Coda Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 He's playing the old Kurzweil PC88 Yes,- Kurz works great in band context,- it did always. One of my friends is audio engineer, studio and live. He himself plays guitar and piano too, owns a PC88 and doesn´t feel the need to replace it. In fact he likes it too much. Enjoyed the clip,- thx ! A.C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
16251 Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 pros - sounds; pianos only dynamics are soft or loud, there was never any change in the timbre. Best electric piano sound for it's day and still better than some major brands today. cons - action hurt my hands; end caps would break easy AvantGrand N2 | ES520 | Gallien-Krueger MK & MP | https://soundcloud.com/pete36251 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marino Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Very nice: Tight and powerful. Pianist is obviously good, but I especially liked the ensemble playing. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Loving Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 PC88 got me into Kurzweil pianos, and I never looked back - nice eleanor rigby - the players are listening to each other - I like it "Forget it, Jake. It's Chinatown." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle ggurl Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 Jazz+, I've played with Peter Horvath (different bands, he was sitting with Ray Obiedo and I was with my group, Zarate Pollace Project) and he played the Kurz as a controller, and I think his sound "brain" was a Yamaha Motif or something like that. Are you sure he wasn't playing through a module here? EDIT: Actually, that looks like Ray on guitar, and Marc VW on bass (who also plays w/Ray), can't see who's on drums.

Jazz+ Posted December 24, 2011 Author Share Posted December 24, 2011 I am sure there is no module in that clip.

montunoman Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 He's playing the old Kurzweil PC88 with a Roland KC-300 amp. Most of the really good players that I run across play older keyboards with Roland KC amps. I enjoyed the video- great playing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michelle ggurl Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Just thought I'd come to back to this topic since curiosity about Peter's rig got the better of me.... I ended up emailing him to let him know about this thread (and forum) and to ask about his rig on this gig. I dont know if he'll show up here, but I don't think he'd mind if I passed on the following info: He said his keyboard rig in that video is a small version of his local in town equipment.The main keyboard in that video is Kurzweil pc1se, and it was "triggering a custom tweaked Rhodes sound out of my Motif Rack along with a modified vintage Rhodes out of the Kurzweil.All that through the nice and not so clean ,gutsy sound of 2 KC 300 amps. And then there is a wah pedal in between...My road rider is much more elaborate but I only use that on tours mostly outside of the US.I hope that helps..." Fwiw. I gotta say he's not the only bad-ass musician I know running through Roland kc amps. Sometimes it's just a function of musos not placing a priority on chasing the latest gear, like they find what works for them and use it till the wheels fall off.
