konaboy Posted June 4, 2005 Share Posted June 4, 2005 sorry, disagree. nice playing, but it would sound better with a rhodes patch. CHEEEEEEZZZYYY hang out with me at woody piano shack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle ggurl Posted June 4, 2005 Share Posted June 4, 2005 Scat sounds OK but I'm with Kona; I'd rather hear an EP or piano or something more "keyboardy," which I think would accentuate the soloing better. But it's probably inspirational for him to use that patch for phrasing, etc, so it is what it is. But damn, those guys can play!! Maybe someday when I grow up I can play close to that BTW I assumed that low-end rumbling was the video mic picking up the Hammond ... like Phil was playing bass on it, and that plus what Rodney was doing was too much volume or too much frequency info, so the distortion happened in the low end.

marino Posted June 4, 2005 Share Posted June 4, 2005 Nice, but the Take Six samples for the Kurz are much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byrdman Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 The nice thing about Roland's scat patch is how playable it is. When you hit the note harder you get a shorter, harder "da" rather than a longer melower "doo". It can be a lot of fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's Doo Daa, Boo Bop (or something like that) and I think six sets in all. Original Latin Jazz CD Baby "I am not certain how original my contribution to music is as I am obviously an amateur."

Jazz+ Posted June 5, 2005 Author Share Posted June 5, 2005 I had the Kurzweil Take 6 samples and now I have the Roland Take 6 samples and I think they are about the same, I get more fun with the Roland dynamics.

JimmyJimJim Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 I think they're fun to mess around with, but... the idea of actually USING them... Uuuuurk! Where are the Snowdens of yesteryear? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure the Roland scat vocals aren't Take 6. Since Roland has used Spectrasonics' samples for some of their expansion boards (like "Bass Legends"), their scat vocals are probably from the "Vocal Planet" samples. It's OK but not even close to the Kurzweil Take 6 library. I've had the Take 6 collection for 5-6 years now and it might still be my favorite sample CD-ROM.

I know them (because I have an ME-1) and they're good, but the big samples on CD-Rom for the K2000/2500/2600 are another thing - just unreal. You can have dozens of different articulations, and the full ensembles are absolutely incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluesKeys Posted June 7, 2005 Share Posted June 7, 2005 I think the Roland patch is fun to fool around with, but I could never use it in a live performance. Unless it was to start a song with perfect pitch harmony in the ooh's and aah's,or doing chords with one note changes. But the fun part is doing a lead over a bass line and adding bop and pow to it. Anybody using these in performance's? Jimmy Those are my principles, and if you don't like them... well, I have others.

AnCap Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 Sounds more like a disturbing version of kraftwerk than actual scat singers. Hot garbage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RABid Posted June 8, 2005 Share Posted June 8, 2005 For what it is, it is very good. You cannot compare it to a $200 dedicated sample collection because it is just some included waveforms on an expansion ROM. Originally released as part of a meager 8 Meg expansion ROM. Big difference. It is fun to play and you can get creative with the application. I'm glad that it has been carried over to one of the 64 Meg SRX expansion ROM's. Robert This post edited for speling.
