Mike Davis Posted July 24, 2015 Author Share Posted July 24, 2015 It works for me. The mysteries of iOS, I guess. Anyway, it's synth, a laptop and a couple of monitors built into a piano shell. Looks pretty cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EscapeRocks Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Looks like an Alesis QS8.2, painted white. Yes! Thank you! I was trying to remember where I've seen that slider and button layout before. Just checked some pictures of a QS8.2 after seeing your answer. That's it! David Gig Rig:Depends on the day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wineandkeyz Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 I still own one, which is how I recognized the button layout. I wonder if he's using any of its internal sounds or just using it to drive the laptop?

S_Gould Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Just saw him tonight from the front row. There were several modules between the EV monitors that he tweaked. There was a pedal board with several continuous controllers that he used to bring up varying amounts of layered sounds. The laptop had a setlist (which might have changed patches on the MIDI rig). All Hammond sounds came from his guitarist (no Idea what he used, could only see the end-cap). The main sound from Leon's rig was layered pianos, any string/synth/etc. tended to be very low in the mix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legatoboy Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 His old rig looked like something out of a space movie. This one is a lot more low profile and pleasing to the eye. I opened for him a number of times. That old rig of his was legend. . .it looked like it was devised in Junkyard Wars. It sounded great though. He had about 7 old Roland metal Exp. pedals and he would bring in various layers and drum samples at various times - similar to that Vangelis CS-08 vid. posted recently. Here is a shot of just the left side of his old one, all I could find right now : CP-50, YC 73, FP-80, PX5-S, NE-5d61, Kurzweil SP6, XK-3, CX-3, Hammond XK-3, Yamaha YUX Upright, '66 B3/Leslie 145/122 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PianoMan51 Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 What I really like about the rig is the two monitors, positioned perfectly for him to hear his DP just like a real piano, probably in stereo. And just as good for hearing his own vocals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
