Nice !!! give us more, especially some organ. This may become my go-to keyboard for everything.

Keep em coming.

Great sound! Thanks,

Sounds a very capable board - in the right hands, of course. I may have to see if I can find one to have a go at round here. Thanks, Diki.

I'll post more as I get to them. Sorry I have so little time, but I'm back in a pretty heavy gig schedule after a couple of light years, and the Florida weather is tuckering me out!

I think one of the few things I did to this Performance (it was in the Music Assistant list somewhere... forgot which one!) is simply back off on the Style/Song Master compressor a hair. Most of what I'm hearing on the internet from the BK-9 sounds a bit 'pumped', whether by the BK or by the site they upload to (or they do it in post!). The BK's styles have some pretty good dynamics and clarity if you don't screw it up!

I didn't use my usual technique of recording in MIDI first, then going to audio. Wanted to try it warts and all with no editing, so please be aware, that's a straight live 'capture'. You can do this yourself, no editing tricks!

On the whole, I think the SuperNatural guitars are the standout sounds from the whole SuperNatural section. I am nowhere near as impressed with the horns and winds, but I think the basic concept is OK. There are times with the SA2 stuff, I feel it is getting in the way of the player. A lot of 'tricks' happen whether you want them or not. The SN guitars are scary in that they seem to perfectly divine my intent, and introduce the tricks ONLY when I ask for them. That's all anyone needs from technology...

We should still be in control, not the machine!

Sounds great! Like a real acoustic. Great playing too.

Very cool So, are you playing electric piano and guitar over a 2 chord built-in style that just loops?

what are the 2 chords?

I'm only playing the guitar. The piano is part of the style.

I can't remember exactly what I played, but it sounds a bit like an open E(add9) and a D... So, a 2 bar loop, hit play on the CS, then solo just on the guitar.

The fun part is deciding where you want to bend the notes, and where you want to hammer-on/off, where you want lines, where chords.

BTW, there's a parameter you can adjust with a slider that alters the speed of the strum when you play chords, so you can adjust this in realtime to account for either slow passages or quick stuff. There are also buttons that can move from plectrum picking to fingerpicking, and another that switches the sound to harmonics. A lot of expressive possibilities all in one patch!

You don't get the random fret squeaks like the SA2 Yamaha stuff does, but I never really got that under my command. I could never figure out how to ensure I hear it when I want it, and not when I don't. It would be nice to have on the Roland, but only if they figure out how to keep it under our control...

Very nice Diki, nice to hear your BK9 "talking" at last.

Please Sir.....can I have some more?
