Its a nice instrument but he didnt make me want to buy it by just playing patches with that price tag, I feel u have to dig deep under the hood to show what it can do to influence people to buy it, those patches he playing sound like u can get the same sounds from A synth for less than half of the price! u have to influence people to buy something like this for people that dont know what it really is, and can do.
@@23bit76 I'm sure you could, but my problem is with the fact that all these new synts sound the same. I miss the time of the analogue synthesizers, where you could use your own creativity and the sky was the limit. These "modern" thing make me think of the animals where the mother chews the food up for them. You are a good player and I'm sure that you could even play Charriots Of Fire, but these new keyboards don't "speak" to me.
@jwelsje you've got brands of synth recreating all of the old stuff. There are also modern synths being made for different reasons. You can even buy modern romplers, modelling, FM and VA im not sure which you've been listening to?
@@23bit76 I do not dislike all of them, but the majority sound so stereotypical. I am an oldskool guy; been playing keyboards since 1977, at the age of 15 yrs. It was Hammond, Fender and Moog back then. From 1984 until 16 yrs ago, I've been a session musician. The one thing I do like about "modern" keyboards is that their sound are so real, especially the organ, strings and brass sounds. Hey, but you've inspired me to try the MK2, I'm not that old fashioned.
@@jwelsje I'm almost heading for 60 and I own the Waldorf Iridium Keys and have been playing since 80s, owned pretty much every major keyboard since then, Fender Rhodes, Juno 60, Prophet 5, endless Motifs, Oberheim Matrix 12, numerous Minimoogs, Arp Odyssey/2600/ProSoloist, Solina, Roland JX10, etc etc... the new keyboards can really do everything/anything you want... I honestly do not miss many of the big beasts. Sometimes I sit there sampling all kinds of things into the synth from youtube videos (glass sounds, harmoniums, bells, clinks and clunks, string hits) and making my own wavetables... I do think with these modern keyboards the key is in rolling your own sounds and not using the presets which are inevitably mediocre/harsh as this video shows... The only really old synths (and for many I bought the reissues) I kept are Prophet 5/ARP2600/Odyssey/ProSoloist but even those have pretty good emulations which are more convenient in a DAW... it's a golden era we are in...
Legendary machine! Just beautiful.
very nice, thank you

I'm sure it could do a good 'Axel F' for you
