I think we can add this o he long list of excellent performances.



Its the player that makes the keyboard shine, and not the other way around.
I enjoyed this very much and wanted to share this with you

It is always the keyboard player. A great player can play 25 year old technology and make it shine. The technology is always secondary.

Altough, a good player does sound even better on the latest greatest.. while a medicore player will allways sound medicore despite all the gear they buy...

Is it really that good if listen carefully?
A couple of places both guitar and organ played at the highest notes register sounds like a tiny pling-pling piano.....
I'll wash my ears and take a new listen, in a while.
Video is nice, so is blues. smile

Depends on what is the purpose.

In studio work/arranging/sound development - both, keyboard beeing very very important

In live performance - both, keyboard less important though

In OMB entertaining - PLAYER!

If you enjoyed it, Bachus, that's what's important; but I agree with Gunnar. The sounds were uh, 'less than authentic' and the performance was WAY, WAY 'less than authentic' (as in high-school amateurish). I'm not being deliberately negative here, but I know real 'blues' when I hear it and this ain't it. I'm sure both the keyboard and the player might sound better with a different choice of styles and lead voices. JMO.

One of the advantages I’m finding with 76 Keys is finding the right octave to play in for the instrument chosen.

On my 61 Key, it’s hit the octave switch if something doesn’t sound right. On the Genos if a voice doesn’t sound right in one octave just play in another...nice to be able to do that.
