first electronic keyboard that I ever had...ended up donating it to a school....the action was unique, but my current keyboards capture the sound very well......very nice interpretation of a great song!!!!!!
I can't believe a human being can be this consistently so talented. I have endless respect for you and the years and years of dedication you have given xx
Dam dude respect for such a great performance and was a good overview of the sounds for people looking into getting on of these bad boys. bravo... Encore! hehe
Seems like no matter how many ways they sample a rhodes it never sounds like the real thing. I think this is because every time you hit a key the sound changes more than say a piano. I am hearing hundreds of velocity changes in the sound and the way it resonates
@@jaggass I agree with Derek, but Keyscape does get you close. Im looking forwards to getting a better mac and trying keyscape maxed out (in terms of samples and round robins) and working on a speaker system that feels right. Iv only ever laid my hands on a rhodes 1 time when I was a boy, so can't really comment, but i can play keyscape for hours on end in a way i can't with nord and yamaha samples (ep's)
i love this sound totally...turns me on completely...but i always sing when i play, i have the strict rule of not making merely instrumental music...could someone direct me to the link that will show me how do the rhodes and voice sound together?...i mean: just the voice and rhodes, no other instruments
I think the first 30-40 seconds of Billy Joel's "James" are a valid proof that is a great combination... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4HXjtlDjdP4.html ... same with the "Just the way you are" intro ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tJWM5FmZyqU.html

With the suitcase style the instrument is sitting on top of the tube amplifier. The Rhodes instrument itself does not have tubes. It works similar to an electric guitar and is plugged into an amplifier. You can even use effects pedals like an electric guitar.
@@edh2246 Thanks for the clarification Ed. I had mine for five years and it never required service. Considering how much abuse it got on the road I'm surprised it used tubes. I would have been a little gentler.
I love this song, and this instrument.... But this rendition is poorly done. Too straightforward, robotic and lacking of any kind of dynamic besides during the solo. Great performance regardless, the robotic-ness gives it that "elevator" kind of vibe, which I get, but this really needs more flare and personality.
