It’s sweet to imagine musicians who used multiple keyboards and synthesizers in any era previous to the 2000s continuing to use them. A pianist who I tried working with during the first half of 2010 said multiple times that tiered keyboards were passė. I beg to differ and wouldn’t even care if it were true.
The impetus is musical gratification and satisfaction. I pared down this space and took some keyboard out to make it less cluttered and more appealing. And I had to think LONG and hard about eventually what to keep. If I can do a complete musical CUE in one pass with the right sounds, then that is a plus. Trail and error, but everything that is there serves a unique and vital purpose. I don't like being Yanni in the least, but it is beginning to work. Thanks for your interest!
The acoustic piano "layer" is very subtle and not easily heard in this example. It is based on the David Foster sound who produced Chicago and Celine and others. It is a dyno piano kind of thing. What I have discovered is if you want the best possible high fidelity sound is, synth MIDI modules of different architectures and manufacturers compliment one another, because they are sonically different. So a Roland, Korg, Yamaha sound nice layered on top of one another. I studied classical composition, so it is orchestration for me. Just like the orchestra, getting the best textures. And to answer your question, there are modules in the rack, but I have been able to pick up keyboards for cheap lately, like really cheap, so I buy them. It has taken a lot of work to fit them in and together.
@@Par3pio2 Yes, I see & understand where you're coming from. Point taken. Talking of cheap buys, I picked up a Yamaha PSR 6700 for £45 recently (£2K when new! 1991). Brill' condition, 100% working order, 76 keys, 8 track sequencer and some really cool sounds in it.
I have the S90, and you are correct. With the PLG-150 added PC board, there are the best Rhodes sounds. Richard Tee. Zawinul. The onboard effects make a difference. I just put that keyboard back into the stew. The S90 is making the TX-802 sound.
Very groovy Dave
Very cool.....great chord-changes.
Amazing, Greetings from Venezuela

Gladly, @@Par3pio2.
Cool setup, sounds and playing :)
Are so many keyboards really needed to produce this sound?
Love the bass that your left hand is putting out! 👍

Very cool jazzman
Yamaha has a good Bob James piano.

If he opened his bath robe he could play a few extra notes 😅😅😅
😂
Smarta**!
Good wit. Seem to be pretty conservative on here.
😂😂
I initially read that as "He opened up his bath robe so he could play a few extra notes..." and it left me with., wait.. what? lol
