bob256 Posted October 7, 2003 Share Posted October 7, 2003 I know this has been discussed before but I'm looking for some more opinions. How do you me-1 owners like the rhodes and wurlitzer sounds? I'm looking for greasy funky sounds ala 70's Herbie Hancock not tinny wedding band bell chime time sounds. Does the me-1 do this? How does the me-1 sounds compare to other comparably priced units and also to the real thing? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petros Posted October 7, 2003 Share Posted October 7, 2003 The high notes are squeaky unless the update fixed the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synthbro Posted October 7, 2003 Share Posted October 7, 2003 These sounds are sampled directlt from the original instruments. If the high note sound squeaky, it may be due to the stretching of samples in the higher octave. Synthbro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geosync Posted October 7, 2003 Share Posted October 7, 2003 I'm not sure about the ME-1 but the PC2 was changed.I'll ask our sound guys. Take Care, George Hamilton Yamaha US Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eric Posted October 8, 2003 Share Posted October 8, 2003 I believe that you would be plenty happy with the ME-1 electric piano sounds. As someone mentioned, they are just a tad "tinkly" in the uppermost octaves, but who really plays the majority of their EP sounds up in the stratosphere anyways? The EPs in the ME-1 are varied and useful, with everything from a vintage stage Rhodes sound with varying levels of tine noise to chorused and phased versions of Rhodes, Wurly and even some CP-80 type sounds. The ME-1 is an excellent value for the number of sounds and the quality of the sounds. The piano samples alone make the module worth buying, in my opinion. It is a preset machine, with very minimal user edits available (FX level, FX type, transposition) and no user memory. The 256 presets cover a wide territory. There are even some halfway decent synth sounds onboard. Regards,Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
