I love all of your videos, but I must say, I enjoyed hearing you play more on this one than any other. Your happiness came through in your smile, your laughter, and THE SOUND!
Something I can easily do on my MODX+ with AWM2 and FM-X. Although it would be nice to use my acoustic piano like this, but only if the price beats getting a hammer action controller.
Now that's why I love my trusty Yamaha DGX-650 Digital piano. You can play it like a piano, but at the same time you can compose like a keyboard and at the same time use it as a midi keyboard.
il mondo potrebbe essere cosi...come te...semplice, felice...sorridente e pieno di orgoglio per la musica che l'umanità potrebbe suonare...basterebbe poco..come aggiungere una barra midi a un pianoforte acustico... mi hai emozionato molte volte...ma con questo video...con il tuo modo si tornare bambini...mi hai commosso...bellissimo
This updated technology is a real game changer. Can you make a video explaining how you were able to trigger each of your synths into this system. Many of us out here do not understand how MIDI works. Great playing as always. Your mastery of the keyboard always shines.
Dr. Mix is out of control! Only NATO can stop him now. His insane mix of musical skill, imagination, technology and charm is a danger not only to other studios, but to the whole of humanity!
I had a 100 years old piano before to find my first Korg M1, and I was thinking to use midi, the meeting have never been done, but I love playing the supernatural piano on my Jupiter 60, as using midi to drive so others, and I will buy the Solina replica from Behringer,, this is an option, but I have fun too in mixing piano and bells, or strings, this gives what you played, but we ear the un imitable harmonics from the strings of your piano, and this is very rarely listened on synths. Those harmonics are the residual vibrations for the near string resonating around the played note, and also there is two or three strings by note, so depending of the option chosen to according three strings, you obtain an effect that can be only listened with multi oscillators in analogic, badly emulated on numeric. That's why I return listening this video, by rare pleasure🤗🙏💚🧡
I KNOW what it feels like to bring back to center stage such a valuable instrument as the studio´s piano. With so much gear you have, its obvious the piano took back seat in your arrangements. But today you always manage to give us something new and fresh. Looking at your conversion with great joy and envy It just went into my to-do list. Great video and sounds as always Claudio. Love you for your unselfish sharing and 100% supportive of your accustomed and contagious unboxing thrill. I´ve always said to my music friends in Chile where I live that I have this very cool internet friend. Hoping one day our virtual paths become reality. All the very best my friend...
I hear Lee Ritenour...!! I had a GRP All Stars Laser Disc back in the day. Good stuff...!! Lyle Mays and Chick Corea are two of my ALL TIME FAVORITES...!! Great video. Thanks..!!
Ролик можно назвать как дать вторую жизнь старому пианино 🙂 Doctor Mix спасибо за отличное настроение, за музыку - она нас объединяет всех! Отличное решение. Как понимаю в видеоролике звук пишется сразу с двух инструментов: самого пианино и модуля синтеза звука. Отличный канал и его ведущий😉
You might want to add a quiet keys mute rail. Ive installed a similar setup on a yamaha grand for a local church who wanted the best of both worlds. It allows you the ability to arrest the hammer before striking the string which makes the piano a controller for a midi synth, just like you have.
This system is a dream for me who lives in Brazil. I made one by myself but is not precise like Vario. And i also made a mute rail that cancel de piano sound conpletely
Absolutely loved this - beautiful, inspirational playing. The DX7 and piano my favourite (and is on my MODX ) but with real piano and a much more accomplished pianist than I - absolutely stunning. Would love more videos of you playing
Greetings from Milan, Italy.. you are a great man.. and congratulations for your new midi piano and very cool!! I am a piano teacher and I follow you keep it up!! great Doc.. ahahaha 😎
Wow!! Dream set up or what? Makes me appreciate my x5dr more as with a little tweaking in menu I can layer sounds together to get a similar sound. But yes nothing more luscious sounding than piano and synth duet. ❤️❤️🎶🎼🎹🎹🎹🎹
A year ago some of us put on a "Pat Metheny Group" tribute concert and I had to step into the ernormous shoes of Lyle Mays. I probably spent a good week or two just on that 14 bar ensemble section from "Minuano" that you showed as an example of his MIDI piano rig. This makes me want to add one of these to one of my Fender Rhodes pianos
That thing looks awesome. If I had one I'd also want to mod my piano with a lever or something that could completely disable the acoustic piano to be able to do silent practicing.
It would have been great they sent you the version of the kit with the mute bar so you can use your piano as a MIDI controller with no piano sound at all, I'm curious to see how it works. This kit is amazing!
My way of doing this is with a MPC with the sampled Bechstein piano and a Roland D-05, Dexed, or a K2000 sound module . It’s not the same but it doesn’t have to be for my purposes. It just needs to be close enough.
I'd love to see a nintendo mix of some of their 8bit greats....or even a fade from the 80s into today kinda sorta. rc pro am, double dragon as standards please!
I want one for my Marantz Pianocorder. It's an ongoing restoration project. The old key sensors/switches didn't allow for velocity, so I threw them out. As it is now, it plays back midi, there are electromagnets under each keys (well, 80 of the keys). But the manual has no sensors, so there is no midi out. This seems like a perfect solution.
Outstanding job there Claudio! What a phenomenal sound you can get from it, you always supply great content and with this you have reached a new level! Hope to see more of this... just WOW. All best from North Yorkshire. 🖖😊🎶
Grande! Mi piace come vai a fondo su tutte le canzoni per capire ogni suono che la compone, non lo fa nessuno! Hai un orecchio incredibile!! Mi piacciono le tue deconstructed, che dici di s'express!
This is absolutely brilliant ! I didn't know such a product existed. Many thanks to Bechstein for this marketing campaign : I'll see if I can retrofit my Grotrian Steinweg from the 80's with VARIO Connect ;) Does anyone have an idea of the price for the VARIO Connect solution ?
If you speak Samuel's at Bechstein House, they will help you. Let me guess, your Grotrain has a M followed by a five figure digit on the the treble side? I used to work on Grotrain's at the original dealer in London :-)
I'm working on my own self-made MIDI interface for my Hammond A-100, there are already contacts in the manuals, but they are worn too much to be reliable... I guess my old Schimmel piano might be a good victim for the first test version, as is is much easier to take apart than the A-100. This video gives me cool ideas of what it might be good for, yes, connect it to the DX7, D-50 etc. 😀
🔥In answer to your questions: to buy Vario Connect find your local dealer here: www.bechstein.com/en/find-your-bechstein-dealer
Thanks! (Now... gotta export to Canada.)
I want to buy this for Marybelle Frappier's birthday. She'd LOVE this.
but they dont ship, how i can buy this if they provide only german shops?
I love all of your videos, but I must say, I enjoyed hearing you play more on this one than any other. Your happiness came through in your smile, your laughter, and THE SOUND!
if this video was one hour long i would have watched it til the end in one sitting! love this sooo much 💜
Yes, a recreation video with this magical device? But which one?
olha o apple cider aqui :))
That mix of piano and dx7 sounds outstanding. 🤩
Yep sure does, sync very well together 😁😁
What was the Dave Grusin song he played? I recognised it.
Something I can easily do on my MODX+ with AWM2 and FM-X. Although it would be nice to use my acoustic piano like this, but only if the price beats getting a hammer action controller.
Really amazing’ thank you for this demo
As soon as I heard the first note with the DX7, my mind went directly to Dave Grusin’s “Mountain Dance” - and then he played it! Beautiful sound!
8:27 Such a nice sound. The delay/reverb really adds to it too.
15:00 The K2000 sounds great with that too!
I’ve watched a lot of your videos, but this one has shown what an accomplished, expressive and beautiful piano player you are. Fab!
Thank you! 😃
Having this Piano Midi Bar is not enough. Need to play a lot , and have good taste like you. Congrats.
Magnifico, Claudio. We need more of this 🙏
Wow. For your first shot, the result was so elegant and subtle !
An it was lots of fun too with the DX-7. Impressive !!!
Now that's why I love my trusty Yamaha DGX-650 Digital piano. You can play it like a piano, but at the same time you can compose like a keyboard and at the same time use it as a midi keyboard.
il mondo potrebbe essere cosi...come te...semplice, felice...sorridente e pieno di orgoglio per la musica che l'umanità potrebbe suonare...basterebbe poco..come aggiungere una barra midi a un pianoforte acustico...

Just sweet. So very sweet. Especially the
DX7 and D50 piano combos
10:45 this sound is incredible, would've been nice to hear you riff on that for longer than 10 seconds lol
The two of them clapping together when its "done"
I liked the variation on Brahms symphony no 3./3rd.
One of my favourites..... so thanks a lot!

Awww thanks man ❤️🕺🙏 I’m so glad you like it 👍
The analog digital fusion gives me chills.
The very mention of Lyle Mays always is a thrill, I think it came through in this video, channeling a master with your own unique talent, wowee!! 👏🏻😌💫
RIP LM.
One of the best contemporary improvisers of our time.🇨🇦
If I had this installed I’d actually need to keep my piano in tune 😄
Well, thank you for using a really good product of Bechstein Digital!
I hear Lee Ritenour...!! I had a GRP All Stars Laser Disc back in the day. Good stuff...!! Lyle Mays and Chick Corea are two of my ALL TIME FAVORITES...!! Great video. Thanks..!!
This guy IS A MUSICAL AND A TECHNICAL GENIUS. I strive someday to be as smart as him
Such beautiful music.I liked the first and last ones the best! But man… that bit with dx7 was super fly too!
Good video. Disassembled almost the entire studio to get a better multidimensional piano sound with midi, and it worked. Power ballad.

Love it! That's instant 80s Jazz Fusion. Thanks for the video doc
Thanks Louis for the help! 😄😉
Love that Dave Grusin Piece.. Thank you Doctor Mix!!!
Dude, you are a BOSS!! No way in hell would I attempt that but then I would be missing out on that incredible sound. Great job. Thanks for sharing.
K2000 blew my mind. How wonderfull 😍
Wow, natural key action and rich sounds. What more could you ask.
The piano and the DX7 was my favorite pair.
one of the best videos I've seen so far this year.
This guy is so cool and humble and happy. I'd buy him a beer any day.
Awww thank you
That final piece with the K2000 was *superb*
Thanks!!
Hi, welcome to DrMix 😃

The soundtrack from that film is awesome! :)
A realy instrument, and the Electronic sounds real time? Wow!🤩 I never heard like this! I love this feeling! 👌
Wow, really nice sound. Love it ❤
Lovin' that interlude! 😉
🤣
Wheeeyy man . The interlude you did'n t ask 4 makes me crazy !!!!
Exciting 😄😃
Claudio is such a beautiful piano player that watching these videos inspires me to practice. Louie is the ultimate quiet comedy powerhouse :)
digging the soundtrack.... I had to turn that up a bit
Ma che figata!!! Erano anni che non vedevo una midi bar. Grande Cla!
This system is a dream for me who lives in Brazil. I made one by myself but is not precise like Vario.
And i also made a mute rail that cancel de piano sound conpletely
Its great idea to create such midi instrument from a wonderful piano. Thank you Claudio for wonderful video!
Absolutely loved this - beautiful, inspirational playing. The DX7 and piano my favourite (and is on my MODX ) but with real piano and a much more accomplished pianist than I - absolutely stunning. Would love more videos of you playing
this guy is the perfect combo of synth nerd, youtuber and kraftwerk fan
Wouah !! The sound is f*cking GREAT !! 🤩
Enya would love this so much! Especially the piano + K2
that piano sounds amazing
9:20 Nice Brahms improv doc
This is the sickest thing ever
Beautiful man, just beautiful!!
Greetings from Milan, Italy..
you are a great man..
and congratulations for your new midi piano and very cool!!
I am a piano teacher and I follow you keep it up!! great Doc.. ahahaha 😎
Hi Mr Mix :)
that is once again great cinema; have not seen such an assembly yet. Thank you for the video
Greetings from Germany
George
What an awesome concept
Grande Claudio, as usual!

Genial y fantástico trabajo ,un saludo muy grande desde Conil Cádiz, España .👍 👏 😉 👌 😊
Aah Mountain Dance (Dave Grusin), long time not heard. Cool system this.
Just beautiful.
That thing looks awesome. If I had one I'd also want to mod my piano with a lever or something that could completely disable the acoustic piano to be able to do silent practicing.
Dear Claudio,
This video is so great. Awesome 🤩👍🤩👏👍
Thanks so much!
I've been waiting this for more than 30 years...
Очень круто получилось.👍
somedays i wish i was you, you must be soo happy having all of your dreams at your fingers......it sounds amazing.
Yes, I am a very lucky man ❤️
Fantastic DOC.
Great job on the MIDI setup and the playing was wonderful. Such a treat.😃
It would have been great they sent you the version of the kit with the mute bar so you can use your piano as a MIDI controller with no piano sound at all, I'm curious to see how it works. This kit is amazing!

I'd love to see a nintendo mix of some of their 8bit greats....or even a fade from the 80s into today kinda sorta.
rc pro am, double dragon as standards please!
Man, I love it when you go full on music tech nerd.

Great, beautiful. Could you tell me please what are you playing at 9:21. This is amazing. Thank you
I think it is: Love of my life by Santana
@@GabrielDubatti it is, but it's also Symphony No. 3 in F major, Op. 90, the third movement, Poco Allegretto, by Johannes Brahms
@@Doctormix Thank you so much mate
Super amazing!!! I felt like the first day where I bought my Yamaha SY77 and played with the stacked tones back in the 1990's. 🎹🎼🎶💫
Spectacular !
That is a very very very nice upright.
Absolutely love piano sounds layered with synth and this is on another level! Well played as always!
I love how we are seeing more and more of Louis. 👍
What a monster installation man, great job!! 🙂
Outstanding job there Claudio! What a phenomenal sound you can get from it, you always supply great content and with this you have reached a new level! Hope to see more of this... just WOW. All best from North Yorkshire. 🖖😊🎶
I worked in decibel recording studio head sound engineer and we had 3 cs80 in a room for a live set , from bbc Manchester, john foxx had 3
I could listen that for hours..
Grande! Mi piace come vai a fondo su tutte le canzoni per capire ogni suono che la compone, non lo fa nessuno! Hai un orecchio incredibile!! Mi piacciono le tue deconstructed, che dici di s'express!
Grazie amico!
That was impressive. I'm a big fan of the hit Powerrun by Laser dance. But since I'm a beginner I'm still not able to recreate it.
La soluzione perfetta, video spettacolare as usual.
This is absolutely brilliant ! I didn't know such a product existed. Many thanks to Bechstein for this marketing campaign : I'll see if I can retrofit my Grotrian Steinweg from the 80's with VARIO Connect ;)

Awesome and Incredibile!!! 💯👍❤️
I loved the sound coming from this! New tech and old tech fusion. Great video.
Excellent demonstration Wow! thanks for the wink (Piano/DZ7) music from GRP Session. THANKS
