I have some old video tapes of Eric demoing the sound library for the S50.. and he demoed using a breath control for realistic sax..



What i like most about him, he is allways smiling, i like people that are friendly and smile a lot

Did you ever get your hands on the keyscape library?
Such incredible high quallity sampling ..


No, I have still beaten about the bush (eromheen draaien als de kat om de hete brij - same metaphor as in German) with software libraries so far. I have installed Garritan BigBand, but haven't found or taken the time to really use it.
For symphonic sounds I have been using iSymphonic for iPad together with the MODX sounds, which is quite a good level already.

The isymphonic comes from Kurt Adler..
He is using the same samples in isymphonic as for his kronos, montage and genos expansion packs... espescially his orchestral library for the Kronos is huge(and expensive)

His sounds for the ipad are a steal compared to his expansion packs for hardware..
Isymphonic is one of those apps that make the ipad brilliant to have..

By the way, if you want a good piano sound on the ipad, get the ravensworth, its about €20 and i love it.. and then combine with the strings of the isymphonic librarie

Its been a week..
Love the Roland sounds..

But it jade me realise one thing..
The fat lushy character of the Roland sound is hard to mix with the Yamaha styles..
Its often totally overpowering the soundspectrum..
Turning a whole yamaha style into background noise
There is only so much you can do with volume..

Often I have to use some form of compressor/eq/filter to put the Roland sounds into their place in the mix
Or just mute some tracks on the Genos styles..

Also the Yamaha sounds seem to be more accurate where it comes to acoustic instrument emulations
However the Super batural sounds are more enjoyable to play, and somehow offer more depth,,

The super natural piano is great..
The organs in the JP80 are brilliant
Espescially the theatre organs...


Another important thing..
where yamaha boasts about their super knob on montage/modx
The jp80 has 2 of them, one for left hand and one for the rightvhand live sets..


After a week, i am still convinced that ever arranger should have a set-up with 10 pannel voices like this..
Just the fact that a liveset for left and right hand is a savable item offers so much..

Since owning the RD2000, gotta say, I’m pretty impressed with what Roland can do sound wise.
