Forgive my curiosity Erlic, but would you have recognized that sound as a DX7 if the file wasn't labeled? To me it's a brand new sound. Sheesh. I think it suits the music. It's percussive but not too too twangy. I could make it twangier if you think that would be better!

 

..wonder when Jazz+ is gonna kick me off this thread...

Sue:

 

"Old People" (like me) can recognize sounds from a lot of different synths. Yamaha's DX7 was the first production FX based synth and it has a unique sound quite a bit different that the analogs that were on the market when it came out.

It's probably one of those sounds you either love or hate, right? To me, being completely untarnished as I am, all electric pianos are more or less equal. I feel like a kid in a candy store. hmmmm, let's see.....

 

Stay tuned :D

Yep, I never really cared for the DX7, although it has grown on me over the years. But flowers grow too, and I like them much better.

Sue, you really don't need any other piano than what you already have. When you have a Mercedes, driving a Pinto doesn't quite work. :D I don't know how good the Rhodes sounds are on the Promega, but it sure "does piano" quite well. :thu:

 

Be careful, you might turn into another gear hogging musician like ther rest of us here. ;)

Hey Mike, what's that I just read on another thread, that "real world experience beats the H out of mp3's"? Are you saying this is all just useless fun I'm having while I wait for the phone to ring?

 

Of course I'm not looking outside the promega for other electric pianos. I'm looking inside. I still don't feel the allure of the rhodes, but here's a wurlitzer split that caught my ear.

 

Be advised against listening while driving or operating heavy machinery. :cool:

Hey, Sue, I like your pieces. Are they your compositions?

Thanks Floyd. No, not mine! Don't ask me to analyze the chords either. ;) These are excerpts from Nikolai Kapustin's 24 Preludes. Some of his music has been recorded by Andre Hamelin. Great stuff. :thu:

Another tip: Enlarge the manuscript, that fine print stuff is murder!

Thanks, but I wasn't referring to your mini-font sized example, I was referring to scores in general.

:idea: Ah, now I get it! When I read this yesterday, I was trying to figure out what the first tip was. :P

 

Back to your original topic. Thanks for indulging me. :D
