leeclark Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Greetings. Ive been lurking for several months and figured it was about time to say hello. I am relatively new to keyboards but have been playing classical guitar for about 25 years. I started taking piano lessons about a year ago and practice at home on an RD700SX. While there are a few evaluation samples out there for the RD700SX, it seems that there are not too many classical examples. So rather than come to the forum empty-handed, I thought some folks might find a few short RD700SX classical pieces of interest. I hope its ok to post them here. These are SMF played using the RD's Superior Grand. And no, its not me playing (dare I dream). The recordings were made directly from the RDs analog ¼-inch outs, the Superior Grand patch set to factory defaults, no EQ, recorded dry at 24/96, reverb was added for ambience prior to encoding to 128kbps 16/44.1 WMA. Due to limited bandwidth, Im not sure how long I will be able to keep the links active, but probably for at least a couple weeks or so. http://home.comcast.net/~jlulm/RD700SX_Superior_Bach.wma (1.86MB) http://home.comcast.net/~jlulm/RD700SX_Superior_Chopin01.wma (2.38MB) http://home.comcast.net/~jlulm/RD700SX_Superior_Chopin02.wma (1.58 MB) http://home.comcast.net/~jlulm/RD700SX_Superior_Liszt.wma (1.37 MB) http://home.comcast.net/~jlulm/RD700SX_Superior_Rachmaninoff.wma (1.46 MB) Regards, lc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Bennett Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Nice playing. Although I don't understand why Roland brags about the "Superior" Grand. I always play the 600 grand, it's far better IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archtech Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 the recording is not a good representation of the superior grand piano sample on the RD700sx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeclark Posted March 19, 2006 Author Share Posted March 19, 2006 Hmm, yes you are right. It seems that some fidelity was lost during the encoding and I did not happen to catch it prior to posting. My sincere apologies for this oversight. Ive decommissioned the links until I can troubleshoot where I messed up. Im still getting familiar with my recording software. lc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
