Bernie9 Senior Member Registered: 09/21/02 Posts: 5522 Loc: Port Charlotte,FL,USA	I agree, but then, I am not into the nuances of Indonesian music either. It is hard for me to believe Jordan would release something ratty, even for money.

Jez Member Registered: 10/13/11 Posts: 206 Loc: India	Both the statements are fine. As Ian said the demos don`t do much good for either party. If it were not for a video, it would have been mistaken for anything.. may be a CZ-1 Edited by Jez (05/09/15 10:06 AM) _________________________ Warm Regards, Jez Auron Music

Ian Anything can sound better when it's studio enhanced & produced & Marco knows that......no secret there... Rudess is a monster player. I am sure he meant it to sound that way for the genre...listen to what he says in the demo. Edited by Dnj (05/09/15 01:12 PM)

spalding1968 Senior Member Registered: 09/19/08 Posts: 1264 Loc: United Kingdom	The style that he is playing sounds like a converted style using simple GM sounds . Secondly it is clear that Mr Rudess has no clue how to play an arranger keyboard and doesn't know how to play in the style he used . Finally he clearly hasn't had any preparation time to play this instrument. It looks like he was a guest at someone's home and they simply put out the keyboard and asked him to play something. Put in a position like that ,what was he supposed to do? Not wishing to be rude he simply played something and did his usual 16 million Notes per second riffs which may work well for prog rock music but certainly not for the style he was playing .

vangelis Member Registered: 12/31/03 Posts: 435 Loc: FLORIDA	The quality is not bad, it's just that that type of music uses that type of percussion, not that much in the low end spectrum and for western musicians not familiar, would not like the fidelity. _________________________ Currently main setup on stage are:KORG PA4X,PA1000
