mreddyson Posted July 21, 2001 Share Posted July 21, 2001 I have yet to see a keyboardist with a band using their laptop onstage live as their main digital piano sample or for Rhodes (Emagic Plug in). They all seem to be still using digital pianos by Roland, Kurzweil or Yamaha. Why is that? Is the nuance so subtle that in a live band setting that it's not worth the hassle? The hassle of what? If one wants to use a Gigasampler on a laptop live, for example with East West's Stienway B sample and ALSO be able to switch to Emagic's Computer Plug in Rhodes, wouldn't that require opening and closing back and forth between Gigasampler and Logic? That would be very time consuming, wouldn't it? Check this out. Purgatory Creek did a Digital Piano Shoot out using the the same MIDI file, they made an MP3 for each digital piano. You can hear for yourself the difference between a real Steinway, Gigasampler, P80, PC2x, Xv-88 AND the SRX-02.http://www.purgatorycreek.com/pianocompare.html Best wishes, Harry Likas Berkeley CA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
