Members ElectricPuppy Posted December 16, 2009 Members Share Posted December 16, 2009 Anyone? I'm wondering if finding ultimate electric piano bliss without actually having the real thing would be better done via simulation rather than multi-sampled silliness. http://www.applied-acoustics.com/loungelizard/overview/ Does anyone use this? What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members aeon Posted December 16, 2009 Members Share Posted December 16, 2009 If getting EP texture and sound is the goal, and you don't need to have the exact sound of one of the legends of the past, I think and feel modeling is a great way to go - heck, digital modular synthesis even. I can't comment on AAS Lounge Lizard - I use the reed piano model within my Korg OASYS PCI. It's a simple enough affair, with 6 parameters that all have real-time modulation - hammer width and force, reed decay and release, and pickup lowcut filter and position. Of course, there are also timbres to explore with post-process of trem, pan, drive, phase, flange, cabinet response, and so on. I dunno - modeling and/or synthesis seems so ripe with possibility - it all depends on how much you desire fidelity to classic/vintage tones. My other synths for this are the Clavia Nord Modular and Yamaha FS1R (and no, not for *that* 80s EP (cringe)). cheers,Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ClavAnother Posted December 16, 2009 Members Share Posted December 16, 2009 Too bad their demos are loaded with reverb and delay. Is that last one trying to be a take off of Angela? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members J3RK Posted December 16, 2009 Members Share Posted December 16, 2009 I really like Lounge Lizard. It does quite well with its modeling. Don't know what the result would be from a side-by-side, but it sounds good to me. It's also highly tweakable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I generally only use a bit of overdrive and tremolo on it, and it sounds pretty good. Actually seems kinda silly to drown demos of an EP in reverb and delay.

Irony. What I could see doing, though, is initially sifting through those 100 patches and wittling 'em down to a handful BEFORE doing something pressing.

Members ElectricPuppy Posted December 16, 2009 Author Members Share Posted December 16, 2009 I know, eh? :poke: Anyway, the demos intrigue me enough that I wonder if I should get that and find a nice weighted controller instead.

Members ChristianRock Posted December 16, 2009 Members Share Posted December 16, 2009 Find yourself an A-90. You won't regret it ever. It's even portable, I swear :poke: (well compared to my A-80 it is) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ElectricPuppy Posted December 16, 2009 Author Members Share Posted December 16, 2009 ...you no have no KX-88 no mo? I still haz it, but:- It has a limited velocity range;- The action is sluggish compared to my real piano;- As a controller, it's very limited. I just think it's time to move up. ...A-90, eh?

You just described my A-80. The action is awesome for practicing, it's got good weight on the keys and it's built like a tank, but I feel it's a bit sluggish... it could be just needing a proper cleanup :poke: The A-90, on the other hand, is quite a bit quicker and despite being lighter than the A-80 (what isn't?) it still has good weight on it (better than RD700GX and S90), feels like a good piano (at least to a hobbist like me) and responds well to the touch. There's a reason why they cost like 3500 dollars when they came out... without having any sounds in them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
