IanD Posted August 1, 2001 Share Posted August 1, 2001 Does anybody know of any good CP80 sounds on any synths or moduals. I realy love the sound Tony Banks got out of his. And has anybody seen the Genesis Songbook DVD, Tony plays a live version of Afterglow with Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkipp Posted August 1, 2001 Share Posted August 1, 2001 I don't know if it's a big difference, but I think Tony Banks used a CP-70, I'm not sure if there's a big difference in sound. I think the only difference is the number of keys on the keyboard. I haven't heard too many convincing CP-70/80 sounds on other keyboards (and I've looked, being a big Genesis fan). I remember seeing a Yamaha digital grand, can't remember the model, which had a pretty convincing CP-70/80 sound, it even was chorused like Tony used to do, but the price of the piano (clearly made for home use) was almost the same as just buying a real CP-70/80, so I don't know if it would be worth it. I haven't seen the Genesis Songbook yet, I'm waiting for the DVD to be released; I'm not expecting too much from it, but the performances (like the new "Afterglow") should be interesting. I also hear that they are preparing a European release for the "We Can't Dance" tour on DVD backed with a second disk of all of their music videos, so that might be a little more enticing. I hope that helps, and best of luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joegerardi Posted August 1, 2001 Share Posted August 1, 2001 The Emu Vintage Keys Module had an absolute KILLER Yamaha Electric Grand program. It was sampled on the EIII, and had exactly the right sound. You can even chorus it and add tremolo to make it closer. We used to do "Turn It On Again," and it was TITS! Setup: Korg Kronos 61, Roland XV-88, Korg Triton-Rack, Motif-Rack, Korg N1r, Alesis QSR, Roland M-GS64 Yamaha KX-88, KX76, Roland Super-JX, E-Mu Longboard 61, Kawai K1II, Kawai K4.

Stephen Fortner Posted August 2, 2001 Share Posted August 2, 2001 The big difference between the CP-70 and -80, I believe, was number of keys. The 80 had 88 keys, the 70 had either 73 or 76. I loved the sound of these instruments too. My Yammy S-80 does a decent one, which it should, because it's the same company. If you're interested, I know someone near me (SoCal) looking to sell the real thing.

b3wiz Posted August 4, 2001 Share Posted August 4, 2001 Wasn't the CP 80 that sort of Rhodes style piano that came out around the same time as the CP70? The lid turned into the stand for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lid turned into the stand for it. I believe you're thinking of the CP30. The CP70/CP80 had real piano strings (though a max of two/note instead of three), a cast iron harp, and pickups in leu of a sound board. The CP70 had 76 keys, while the CP80 had 88.

Right you are. I had a 70 for a while. I completely either forgot about the 80 or it came out when a was on a hiatus from the biz. john This message has been edited by burningbusch@home.com on 08-04-2001 at 02:41 PM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeep Posted August 5, 2001 Share Posted August 5, 2001 Hi folks. I don't know how to post a clickable link on our forum (?), so here's the URL of a nice photo of the subject matter, a CP-70 : http://www.audities.org/yamaha_cp.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeep Posted August 5, 2001 Share Posted August 5, 2001 Wow! That was an unexpected revelation. Now I know. Just type in the URL and the system automatically makes it clickable. I are so bush! Anyways, just add the high F to C on the top end and you've got a CP-80. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joegerardi Posted August 5, 2001 Share Posted August 5, 2001 To post an image from another site, all you need do is place a left bracket [ the letters img, and a right bracket ]. Then type the url of the image, then the left bracket [ the letters /img and then a right bracket ]. It would look like this: [ img]http://www.anycelebrity.com/models/christiebrinkley/images/005.jpg[ /img] but remove the spaces I put in between each first bracket and the code. (I put those spaces in so you could see what the code looks like.) Without the spaces, THIS is what you see: http://www.anycelebrity.com/models/christiebrinkley/images/005.jpg This message has been edited by joegerardi on 08-05-2001 at 01:28 AM Setup: Korg Kronos 61, Roland XV-88, Korg Triton-Rack, Motif-Rack, Korg N1r, Alesis QSR, Roland M-GS64 Yamaha KX-88, KX76, Roland Super-JX, E-Mu Longboard 61, Kawai K1II, Kawai K4.
