RD700SX classical piano samples

[leeclark]

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.

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.

the recording is not a good representation of the superior grand piano sample on the RD700sx.

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.
