@@SamTheBeardGuy You're right, it's the E-Piano 1 but Keyscape doesn't get it quite right. Then again, I haven't played a real MKS-20 in 30 years or so. I probably remember it sounding better then it did. But my teacher back in the days owned one and had tweaked the sounds quite a bit. I simply loved that thing for that one sound like I loved his TX-802 for the FM e-piano. After all, those were the originals you heard on every record back then. For me, the highlights of Keyscape are the Rhodes (all of them), Wurlitzer and the CP. And I have a special soft spot for the LA Custom Rhodes. That modified Rhodes sound has been giving me shivers everytime I hear it for decades now. It never gets old. It's the perfect balance of clarity, warmth and that Rhodes magic. I will never own an original but Keyscape is as close as you can get to the real thing.
I have yet to splurge on Keyscape and Omnisphere2 - I used to have Atmosphere from way back and loved it! "One day" I tell myself...I'm a sucker for keyboard VSTs.
Damn, Sam, i just bought Keyscape a few months ago. Would have been a pleasure to use your code and help out. I hope many people buy it using your code. You definitely deserve it. Great video as usual! I would feel very bad for any developer that doesn't have their programming and samples well done/recorded. With your level of skill, any piano vst that isn't at least decent would get exposed really quickly.
I am! I have been using mostly for Lo-Fi and R&B, along with Noire which i still love. The only thing that i ( and many people i have heard talk about Keyscape) am missing is another grand piano. Maybe a Steinway or a Bösendorfer. I think it would be very welcomed and would make this library truly complete. That's a minor complaint tho. The C7 is very versatile. But since Spectrasonics has the habit of spoiling us, i'm crying like a spoiled brat for another grand piano lol
Hey Sam let me just start by saying you're amazing and thank you for sharing your gift and knowledge with us. I wanted to know if you don't mind what keyboard do you use ? I'm debating on buying a Nord or just a Midi Keyboard and using Keyscape (I own the Motif ES8) but looking to upgrade. What would you suggest ? Thank you!
Depends on what genre you're playing. For all the worship stuff I do, you just need a midi controller. If you're doing a lot of live stuff and don't want to mess with the laptop, Nord. Most VSTs are going to sound better than onboard pianos, it's just a matter of if you want to deal with setting up a laptop or not.
@@SamTheBeardGuy Thank you so much, I do mostly worship stuff and I don't mind setting up the laptop. One last question what would your recommendation on a good weighted Midi Keyboard or which one are you using on this video (most of your videos)
I'm trying to keep my macbook battery life at its peak, do you leave yours plugged in at 100% continuously or run keyscape and others on battery alone sometimes? I know, weird question lol Amazing videos as always, listening while at work.
Good question. Leaving it unplugged to preserve battery life isn't practical when running these softwares, it'll just drain in a hour or two and you forget it wasn't plugged in. And the docking station I have constantly charges. I don't think the hassle of worrying about this all the time is worth the negligible time it might buy you towards the end of the life cycle.
use ''andante'' for mac. you can stop charging and use only with battery. I stop charging at 60% no heating issues. also it has heat protection option in full version . when the battery heat exceeds predescribed degree it stops charging
Wow! I'm pleasantly surprised. Spectrasonics rarely does promos or sales. It's super cool that you were able to do this! I've had this library for a long time and use it somewhat regularly. I like that they just are "ready to go". Every time I see a video on Keyscape, I find myself wondering why I don't use it more... ...Especially some of the creative library stuff within Omnisphere. Great video!
Hello, I've started playing the piano recently. I have a Kawai KDP-75 at one of my homes and I bought a Donner DDP-80 for the other. However, their sounds are quite different; the Donner's lower notes sound very unusual to me. Should I use a program or something to change the sounds, or is there something wrong with my piano?
These pianos have a lot of ambiance. Unfortunately they don't run on Linux. I'm forced to continue with Pianoteq which are extremely nice with the release of version 8.3
I have been using Pianoteq for many years and it just keeps getting better and better. The new 8.3 version with the new Bosendorfer piano is my favourite to date. I can’t wait to see how the development of this library progresses!
