Title: What number do you guys like to use when playing the KBoard?
Post by: TheKeyBoardPlayer_E16 on September 02, 2005, 05:21:26 PM

:arrow: I know some people like to play the grand piano on the keyboard, at all times. But to me, I think you have to be creative. For example, on my keyboard (PORTABLE GRAND *YAMAHA DGX-505),I like to use number 010 COOL! SUITCASE EP .<- That has the best sound and alot of keyboardist use it when playing the Blues but it also sounds good when playing Gospel and Classical of any other kind of music.So what number do you guys like to play on the keyboard?? Trumpet?Saxophone?APPLAUSE?(JOKING ABOUT APPLAUSE)I know in some cases,when you dont have a good keyboard,every sound will sound terrible.. i have had experience with that.

My favorite is the Rhodes/Wurlitzer EP sounds, but I choose the sound based on the song. If it calls for an acoustic sound then I'll use it. If I need a guitar, and Uriah isn't around :wink: , then I'll have to play guitar on the keys...UGH.

My Kurzweil KME61, sounds fabulous when I plug it in my leslie simulator, especially on chorus! Once you try that, you'll never want to play an EP sound without it!  :D

Nope. It's about 600 dollars. The sounds on it are really good, especially the EPs. Plus you can do a lot with it, like layering. You can define the keyrange for each layer, so you can have as many sounds as you like playing at one time....but there is a 32 note polyphony limit.

Thats cool, my keyboard was alittle less $500 , so I dont think it can do all that. Maybe I should take a look at the owners manual, something I dont do. Lol

Yea. I was amazed when I saw how much it could do, but anyway. I don't want to hijack this thread with posts about the KME61.

I'll just say if you play rhodes/wurly, you HAVE to use a leslie! It's unbelievable.
