Superbobus Posted May 30, 2004 Share Posted May 30, 2004 My Rhodes is standing at a friend's place. I couldn't pick it up for this weekend so I did a gig yesterday with my controller and the iBook with Logic Pro and the EVP88. Today I gigged with my P120 Rhodes sound. I think the EVP88 is better for studio situations because of the P120's velocity switch, but in live situations the P120 cuts right through the mix, whereas the EVP88 drowns in it. A real Rhodes wouldn't drown in the mix. The P120 and the laptop/controller combo are much easier to carry around, but for me there's still nothing better than the real Rhodes. http://www.bobwijnen.nl Hipness is not a state of mind, it's a fact of life.

Superbobus Posted June 1, 2004 Author Share Posted June 1, 2004 I'm gonna get that sucker back here as soon as possible, but on a rainy festival like yesterday it was better to bring in the P120, especially in the situation where we opened the van and the driver wanted to drive away with the door open... http://www.bobwijnen.nl Hipness is not a state of mind, it's a fact of life.

Roger Hooper Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 I agree, the P120 definitely cuts through the mix live, no matter how many guitars are there! What about running the ibook's audio through a preamp, like the Speakeasy series, or even one of the lesser expensive Prosonus series?

fisheye Posted June 28, 2004 Share Posted June 28, 2004 Ever tried the Scarbee Rhodes samples on your laptop? IMO, it can compete with a real Rhodes! Though, since it is so close to the real one, you should also run it through a guitar amp, like you would with a real one. Or use a nice preamp of course.

Jazz1642606857 Posted June 28, 2004 Share Posted June 28, 2004 Which cuts through better, the P120 Rhodes or the Nord Electro Rhodes?

hermanjoe Posted June 28, 2004 Share Posted June 28, 2004 Superbobus, How easy is that laptop setup? I would like to try something like you did with my powerbook G4. I have been checking out NI elektric piano. "Learn the changes, then forget them." -Charlie Parker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
