@angie4josh Well, then you should consider to buy the original software. Then you will have everything you need. And if you don't have everything you need the Steinberg support will help you.
@Starfool06 Thanks for the reply but you see I did buy the program 2 years ago but my dongle was faulty. After pleading with stienberg to help me on several occasions they said if you want to use The Grand 2 again you must purchase a new copy. I told them I understand that you cant just give people free programs but this dongle was dead on arrival and I even took the thing down to Yamaha Australia which is Stienberg here, they turned me away at the door. I ask you this. How is that support?
@angie4josh Oh okay, sorry for my comment. But it isn't seldom that people ask such things, when they "bought" a CD illegaly ;)
To the support-story: Wow? That sounds strange. Why should they send you away, when you have a problem? I didn't expect that. Fortunately I didn't have any problems with Steinberg up to now. Did you try to contact the german support? And did you register your product online? Then it should usually be no problem to get a new dongle with the license.
@jusysimon Seit wann kommt denn der Berg zum Propheten? :P ... nee Spaß, habe durch deinen Kommentar erst bemerkt, dass der Link nicht mehr stimmte. Habe entsprechend gehandelt. In der Beschreibung ist also nun ein funktionierender Link zu dem Lied.
Dear Star, Does that keyboard have weighted keys? . If not, can you tell the difference, from a regular piano, when 1. playing it (musculature) and 2. listening to it? . Just wondering. . Cheers. from, del-boy.
@ThatsCorrectYesRight Yeah, the keyboard has semi-weighted keys. But there's still a big difference between a regular piano and the axiom. The keys from the Axiom are very "easy" to press, because of the missing hammers, so that you get a more keyboard-like feeling. Second thing: The Axiom is just a MIDI-Controller; don't know if you already knew that. That means: It makes no sound without software on your Computer or without another hardware with MIDI-Input.
PS: "The PIano" Lol, this is theme from amelie (movie) "Competite dun etre l'a press midi" by Yann Tiersen or smth like that (i don't know french too much). There are "The Piano" movie too and there are music by Michael Nyman
@Starfool06 mm some time when you play a lot a instrument you start to compose songs, well in one of that times I made something like this, sorry for my badd english, good song, and very nice sound :D, i have got the Ivory Italian GP, regards!
@ttechtalk: that's a song from me ;) ... well not really a complete song; more an idea I had once... but if you would like to hear it in full length you can visit my homepage (written in my channel-info). There you will find a Link called "Musik" on the top. Now the links are different ones. Now click on "Frags". And there you will find the song "Gedanken". That's the one.
Naja, auf einer Schulnotenskala würde ich mich selbst eher im Bereich 3+ bis 2 ansiedeln. Für "sehr gut" mache ich noch zu viele Fehler in der Rhythmik und treffe manche Noten nicht. ;)
Das mit der Rhythmik kann aber auch am Keyboard liegen, weil ich "richtige" Klaviere gewöhnt bin.
Was den Preis angeht: Beim Kauf kostete das Axiom ca. 500€. (Ist inzwischen günstiger.) Das Keyboard erzeugt aber KEINE Töne! (Sendet nur MIDI-Daten.)
Like pianiste0000 said (and like it is written in my video-comments) it's called: "Comptine d'un autre été" and not something with Midi like you said ;)
You should try them.. Really amazing , far better then any other piano emulation.. I've been using Grand since the first version, and I love it, but.. Just listen to these pianos.. Regards :))
Yes and no.... Could be that he isn't using a good enough Audio Interface as well. You can have a CPU that's awesome but if your sound card is average like the one on motherboards it's going to have the same problem!
@BluePaisley: Well, don't know if you didn't read my answer to moomen2009, but I said, that I already solved the problem. The buffer was too low. By setting it a bit higher the cracking sounds were gone.
Well, you should activate the annotation-function. There is written what the song is called and who made it. -> It's "Comptine dun autre ete" (or something like that) by Yann Tiersen.
cool :) hab ne frage wegen the grand2.hab die einstell. schon hoch gestellt aber nach ein paar anschlägen klingt der ton abgehackt. der lässt ja nur ne bestimmte anzahl von tönen zu.das liegt auch daran das ich die sustain pedale klicken muss damit das besser klingt aber dadurch wird der ton viel zu lange gehalten.und ich habe bemerkt das der sound besser klingt man man mit der maus auf die tasten des pianos klickt als wenn man mit keyboard spielt woran liegt das?hoffe du kannst mir helfen
Also was abgehackte lange Töne angeht, ist die Polyphonie ausschlaggebend. Sofern du The Grand auf dem aktuellsten Stand hast, ist es das oberste Feld; glaube das nennt sich keys & fängt bei 16 an. Auf ca. 80-100 hochgedreht klingen entsprechend viele Töne ganz aus. Hinsichtlich sustain: Besorg dir möglichst ein Keyboard mit Pedal. Klicken zwischendurch ist einfach nicht das Wahre ;)
Inwiefern klingt der Sound besser? Das Klavier ist lediglich lauter, durch die volle Anschlagstärke.
What do I play wrong? Tell the time in the video. I know myself, that I don't play it perfect and you must know, that I play it by ear without any notes. To the title: I added a comment to the video, where I wrote the right title (maybe it's not correct french, but that doesn't matter for me, because I hate that language). I did that because nearly every second comment was "the correct title is ... it's not the piano.." and so on.
I wrote the comment of the title for viewers that want to know the real title of the song (P.s. I hate french too :-D).. As concerns the error that you commit is at 3:18.. isn't B E B but B D B.. do you understand? Sorry for my english :) i'm italian
Alright I see... I listened to the original again and now understood what you meant ^^ It really is B E B first, but after that B D B, you're right ^^ ... I didn't notice that. Thanks for correcting me.
I know it's perfect with original notes, but like said: I don't know the original notes, because I played it by ear and I didn't notice, that there is a LITTLE difference. Usually that doesn't happen ^^
But in this case it did and because of you I know how to do better.
Inzwischen weiß ich das auch, da das Video ja nun doch ein paar Monate auf dem Buckel hat und das schon ab und an in den Comments stand. Aber danke trotzdem ;)
Lol.. wieso schreibst du mir in Denglisch? ^^ ... Also in diesem Video ist es ausschließlich das Plugin "The Grand 2" (was der Titel ja auch aussagt). Aber The Grand ist auch bei The Grand 2 dabei.
lol ich finds so geil, wenn manche Leute einfach ein deutsches Wort in nen englischen Satz hauen, das klingt so lächerlich, könnt mich da jedes mal kranklachen xD
I believe the piano part in Clubbed to Death is lifted straight from Elgar's Enigma Variations. You should be able to find the sheet music pretty much anywhere.
Is Acoustik Piano the one of Native Instruments? If yes: I never tried that out. But at the moment The Grand is my unbeaten favourite in Piano-Sounds.
yes I definatly recommend trying it out, what i like about it is you get to choose from 4 diffrent famous piano's and 24bit quality samples. although it is a wopping 6 gigs i find it worth it but the grand and akoustic piano are both great samplers. nice controller btw
ah okay, sorry... you didn't count the first song... didn't know that ^^
well I don't know how it is called and if it is a real song.. but in germany we have a chocolate called "merci" and the song / melody is from the commercial.
Props for the video, Steinberg didn't seem to think they had to demo this VST (I couldn't find a demo on their site o.O), so I turned here instead. Thanks!
The song you mean has no name. It's improvised/composed by me. If you'd like to listen to it send me your e-Mail. I'll send it to you as mp3-file then.
Wie kann das sein? Wenn ich auf dem The Grand 2 spiele habe ich nicht die gleichen Ton wie du. Obwohl ich eine Professionelle EMU Soundkarte habe. Wieso hab ich nicht den gleichen Ton... :o(
Ja wie wat den gleichen Ton? Ich mein The Grand 2 ist The Grand 2, da ändert sich ja nix an den Samples oder so o_O
Gibt höchstens die Möglichkeit, dass es bei dir im Eco-Modus ist, wo sämtliche "Verschönerungen" wie halt after-touch und so abgeschaltet sind. Oder dass du zu wenig voices gleichzeitig zulässt, so dass die Töne abgehackt werden. Ich weiß ja nicht wie es bei dir klingt ^^
hmm, nein die ECO version ist draus. Was meinst du mit wenig voices gleichzeitig? Also bei mir ist der Grandpiano immer noch gleicher einstellung wie von der Installation. Aber ist schon krass das es ca. 3.4GB festplatte frisst oda? Gruss
Naja, sind halt hochqualitative Samples, das frisst natürlich Speicher ;)
Mit den Voices mein ich halt die Voices in den Einstellungen. 16 Voices heißt, dass du maximal 16 Töne gleichzeitig hörst... oder halt 16 verschiedene Samples wenn du so willst. Ich ratter das Ding immer auf mindestens 100 hoch, damit auch bei gedrücktem Pedal keine Töne "verschwinden".
Das kann ich dir auch nicht sagen, aber ich kann dir mit Sicherheit sagen, dass Ton-Unterschiede nicht durch gecrackte Software verursacht werden. In diesem Punkt kannn ich also sagen, dass "chudos" clean ist :P
Und das Problem an sich haben wir bereits per E-Mail gelöst: Offenbar wurden durch eine zu geringe Voice-Zahl seine Töne abgehackt. Das klingt definitiv anders ;)
So glad to see the axiom finally being used for proper piano i was going to get the 69 keys to replace my normal heyborad and it's good to see you can do a bit of classical as well
Well I don't know what you mean, because I just took the "normal" Sound of The Grand 2 and played on the Axiom. Everything Standard, didn't do anything special ^^
you play piano very beautifully, and you are very talented!
Bro, can you temme, I heard there are some probs in the Axiom 61 like the F key sounding hard or the keys being not so gud... what do you say?? isnt it a nice MIDI controller?
About the F key I can't tell you anything, because it works fine, at least here on mine ;)
And yeah, the keys are a bit sticky in the beginning but with a bit playing they will lose this "stickyness" ;)
As a MIDI-Controller for producing and so on it is very comfortable. But if you wanna play the piano or something, then you should take another keyboard.
also if the keys are sticky and it doesnt get better you get a full refund :). I'm getting my axiom 61 today and can't wait :D! nice playing, what the first song called btw? cheers, Jaroo
Thx for the comment. What song do you mean? In the beginning with the Logo? (With the text and so on?) - If yes, then it has no name. It was just a bit playing around by me. A short thought ^^
For Recording voices or something like a guitar I take Cubase 4. But in this Case it was just the standard recording program from Creative (Soundcard). I plugged the digital out from the Audio-Interface (M-Audio Firewire 410) to the Digital In from the soundcard and chose "Digital in" for recording and recorded it. It was as easy as it sounds :D
that is so nice. I have just bought the grand 2 and wondering if you could help me...I have tried everything in the world to get the sustain pedal to work but no such luck. what is a piano without a pedal!! It works with other midi instruments but this one. even as a stand alone program it won't work.
Ah nope :D ... it's called like the video, "The Grand 2" from Steinberg. Maybe it's called True Piano in another country, don't know. But here it's "The Grand 2"
Yeah I know, but like said: This is just a demonstration of how "The Grand" sounds and not a "look what cool things I can play"-video :D
Second Thing: That Keyboard isn't made for playing the piano. It's a masterkeyboard with many functions to ease productions. If I wanted to play a real piano I would go downstairs :P - the arpeggio sounds a lot better there.
Again about the arpeggio, the second chord is a G, so your right hand is supposed to play B-D-B, you keep playing an E with your second finger, that's why it sounds so weird. other than that, you play really well. and I agree with a comment here, you should really try to enjoy music by playing with other people...but in a small town I imagine that must be difficult.. Cheers!
That's very nice "SF06".now take the next step GO and Jam and Interact with other musicians,then GO and interact with a Live Audience,come out your bedroom u can do it.Real Music is interaction between Live Musicians and a Live Audience,anything else is just musical "Masturbation" so quit "jackin off".your audience is waitin for ya.
Lol... thx ;) ... you're right, real music is very cool. I played the drums in a band a while. But because of many things that didn't last more than half a year. And I live in a very small villate, far away from civilization :D ... so it isn't very easy to find another musicians who need somebody like me.
It comes from my pc. It's a software called "The Grand 2", that sounds so amazing. And I have an audio-interface (external soundcard), that leads the sound to my internal soundcard (via digital cable) and that's it.
Well, I guess you should BUY a good vst like that and don't download it. You can tell me what you want, but you need a dongle to get a Steinberg-product running, so it surely wasn't legal. I'm glad that I was able to influence your choice... but like said: better buy it, it's worth it!
If you have no soundcard - how do you want to make it sound? Or do you mean you only have an onboard Soundchip? However: I can't tell you that. You will have to ask Steinberg for those problems. Sorry :(
The last song that you play is by Yann Tiersen called "Comptine D'un Autre Ete" He is a well known and respected composer...great job, I also use an axiom 61 for my home recordings.
It's not the sound of the keyboard, it's just a controller ;) ... the Sound is generated by Steinbergs VST-Plugin "The Grand 2". I just wanted to let you know that ;)
Did you solve the cracking noise already? Because I think the solution is easy: I found out that if I use a too low delay selected at the ASIO Control Panel, that the sounds start to have little cracking noises due to that the software can't keep up with everything. I can't explain it in a more logical way, but setting the delay value or tweaking in an other way around with your settings may solve these problems.
Yeah, I tried the same and at least it works, when I am not recording. I didn't try it while recording again, but I guess that should do it. And many thanks for your help!
Yeah the latency thats causing the crackling.or the cpu maxing out either one can cause crackling i always gotta adjust my settings depending on what i am using. it also has ecano mode to save cpu. but i love this program! nice play aswell i love that piano song i am trying to learn it !
Kennst du die ganzen Liedern bzw. wie sie zu spielen sind (blöd ausgedrückt: wann welche Taste) von früher oder hast du sie dir selbst beigebracht? Wenn ja, wie? Nach Noten? Rumprobiert? Wüsste gar nicht, wie man an so eine Sache rangeht ;)
Also die zu hörenden Lieder (die 4 bekannten) habe ich nur nach Gehör "zurechtgewurschtelt", also nix nach Noten oder so. Einfach oft genug gehört und nachgespielt.
Das Lied das ganz zu Anfang läuft (im Intro) das habe ich mir selbst ausgedacht und das was am Ende beim Abspann läuft ist auch meine Kreation.

gusbakker 2 years ago
The second song is "Clubbed to death" by Rob D(ougan). But it's also shown in the video ^^
Starfool06 2 years ago
well so i did a mistake, it's the 3 song, it's merci - but i can't find the song, whos the composer , the name of the song is merci?
gusbakker 2 years ago
ah okay, sorry... you didn't count the first song... didn't know that ^^
well I don't know how it is called and if it is a real song.. but in germany we have a chocolate called "merci" and the song / melody is from the commercial.

Hey.
Props for the video, Steinberg didn't seem to think they had to demo this VST (I couldn't find a demo on their site o.O), so I turned here instead. Thanks!
Nice playing BTW. ;)

Baroque32 3 years ago
Yeah, the grand has a real good sound... I am so glad that I bought that... was a good investment ;)
But at playing I am not very good. I guess for better playing I need a more "realistic" keyboard, because I learned playing on a piano.
Starfool06 3 years ago
Where it said, 'Starfool Presents'; the begining, what's the name of that song.
btw, great playin. im goin to learned that clubbed to death song now.
Thx ^__^

The song you mean has no name. It's improvised/composed by me. If you'd like to listen to it send me your e-Mail. I'll send it to you as mp3-file then.
Starfool06 3 years ago
The cracking is from your interface. Raise your latency a bit. They're quite mild compared to some that I've had.

Wie kann das sein? Wenn ich auf dem The Grand 2 spiele habe ich nicht die gleichen Ton wie du. Obwohl ich eine Professionelle EMU Soundkarte habe. Wieso hab ich nicht den gleichen Ton... :o(
chudos 3 years ago
Ja wie wat den gleichen Ton? Ich mein The Grand 2 ist The Grand 2, da ändert sich ja nix an den Samples oder so o_O
Gibt höchstens die Möglichkeit, dass es bei dir im Eco-Modus ist, wo sämtliche "Verschönerungen" wie halt after-touch und so abgeschaltet sind. Oder dass du zu wenig voices gleichzeitig zulässt, so dass die Töne abgehackt werden. Ich weiß ja nicht wie es bei dir klingt ^^
Starfool06 3 years ago
hmm, nein die ECO version ist draus. Was meinst du mit wenig voices gleichzeitig? Also bei mir ist der Grandpiano immer noch gleicher einstellung wie von der Installation. Aber ist schon krass das es ca. 3.4GB festplatte frisst oda? Gruss
chudos 3 years ago
Naja, sind halt hochqualitative Samples, das frisst natürlich Speicher ;)
Mit den Voices mein ich halt die Voices in den Einstellungen. 16 Voices heißt, dass du maximal 16 Töne gleichzeitig hörst... oder halt 16 verschiedene Samples wenn du so willst. Ich ratter das Ding immer auf mindestens 100 hoch, damit auch bei gedrücktem Pedal keine Töne "verschwinden".
Starfool06 3 years ago
@chudos: kann es sein das dein the grand gecrackt ist?
WirSindRocker 3 years ago
Das kann ich dir auch nicht sagen, aber ich kann dir mit Sicherheit sagen, dass Ton-Unterschiede nicht durch gecrackte Software verursacht werden. In diesem Punkt kannn ich also sagen, dass "chudos" clean ist :P
Und das Problem an sich haben wir bereits per E-Mail gelöst: Offenbar wurden durch eine zu geringe Voice-Zahl seine Töne abgehackt. Das klingt definitiv anders ;)
Starfool06 3 years ago
So glad to see the axiom finally being used for proper piano i was going to get the 69 keys to replace my normal heyborad and it's good to see you can do a bit of classical as well

Could you please tell me what are your settings on the grand?
Cause I have this and can't make it sound well.
A little help will be appreciated! :-)
SqiroS22 3 years ago
Well I don't know what you mean, because I just took the "normal" Sound of The Grand 2 and played on the Axiom. Everything Standard, didn't do anything special ^^
Starfool06 3 years ago
Ah okay, except of the moment while playing the thing from counting crows (colorblind), there I took "soft".

Hi,
you play piano very beautifully, and you are very talented!
Bro, can you temme, I heard there are some probs in the Axiom 61 like the F key sounding hard or the keys being not so gud... what do you say?? isnt it a nice MIDI controller?
djMikeERA 3 years ago
About the F key I can't tell you anything, because it works fine, at least here on mine ;)
And yeah, the keys are a bit sticky in the beginning but with a bit playing they will lose this "stickyness" ;)
As a MIDI-Controller for producing and so on it is very comfortable. But if you wanna play the piano or something, then you should take another keyboard.
Starfool06 3 years ago
also if the keys are sticky and it doesnt get better you get a full refund :). I'm getting my axiom 61 today and can't wait :D! nice playing, what the first song called btw? cheers, Jaroo
jarooFLtutor 3 years ago
Thx for the comment. What song do you mean? In the beginning with the Logo? (With the text and so on?) - If yes, then it has no name. It was just a bit playing around by me. A short thought ^^
Starfool06 3 years ago
na the very known score that you play right after, clubbed to death?
jarooFLtutor 3 years ago
yeah, like shown in the video :P ... it's by Rob D and called clubbed to death... that's right.
Starfool06 3 years ago
is Grand 2 compatible with vista?
karmdan 3 years ago
Yeah, Cause I use Vista too. Only thing that I didn't have to update ;) (maybe just with a patch, dunno ^^)
Starfool06 3 years ago
great playing- I just bought one of these keyboards, so I hope it's a good one !
Intuitionsmusic 3 years ago
Maybe not the best for playing the piano, but it eases the music production a lot :D
Starfool06 3 years ago
what software are you using for recording? great job really nice
FR3TKI113R 3 years ago
For Recording voices or something like a guitar I take Cubase 4. But in this Case it was just the standard recording program from Creative (Soundcard). I plugged the digital out from the Audio-Interface (M-Audio Firewire 410) to the Digital In from the soundcard and chose "Digital in" for recording and recorded it. It was as easy as it sounds :D
Starfool06 3 years ago
that is so nice. I have just bought the grand 2 and wondering if you could help me...I have tried everything in the world to get the sustain pedal to work but no such luck. what is a piano without a pedal!! It works with other midi instruments but this one. even as a stand alone program it won't work.

I need to buy that software! Those sounds are amazing!
MysteriousWaters 3 years ago
the problem is, that you've set a very low latency in your sequencer.

Work on the arpeggio.
nordemoniac 3 years ago
Yeah I know, but like said: This is just a demonstration of how "The Grand" sounds and not a "look what cool things I can play"-video :D
Second Thing: That Keyboard isn't made for playing the piano. It's a masterkeyboard with many functions to ease productions. If I wanted to play a real piano I would go downstairs :P - the arpeggio sounds a lot better there.
Starfool06 3 years ago
Again about the arpeggio, the second chord is a G, so your right hand is supposed to play B-D-B, you keep playing an E with your second finger, that's why it sounds so weird. other than that, you play really well. and I agree with a comment here, you should really try to enjoy music by playing with other people...but in a small town I imagine that must be difficult.. Cheers!

That's very nice "SF06".now take the next step GO and Jam and Interact with other musicians,then GO and interact with a Live Audience,come out your bedroom u can do it.Real Music is interaction between Live Musicians and a Live Audience,anything else is just musical "Masturbation" so quit "jackin off".your audience is waitin for ya.
myleftnutts 3 years ago
Lol... thx ;) ... you're right, real music is very cool. I played the drums in a band a while. But because of many things that didn't last more than half a year. And I live in a very small villate, far away from civilization :D ... so it isn't very easy to find another musicians who need somebody like me.
Starfool06 3 years ago
What comes out the sound from ??? Did you use some output speakers ?? :) it sounds f*cken great man...
Wardin 3 years ago
It comes from my pc. It's a software called "The Grand 2", that sounds so amazing. And I have an audio-interface (external soundcard), that leads the sound to my internal soundcard (via digital cable) and that's it.
Starfool06 3 years ago
i was looking for a vst piano..
so i googled..
finally i decided to download "the grand"
and i said..well..hope it sounds good...but..
how do i want it to sound like?
and i said: i wish i could get the sound of colorblind..it's so nice and mellow..
and it does sound great..
thnks for the video ;)
alscu 3 years ago
Well, I guess you should BUY a good vst like that and don't download it. You can tell me what you want, but you need a dongle to get a Steinberg-product running, so it surely wasn't legal. I'm glad that I was able to influence your choice... but like said: better buy it, it's worth it!
Starfool06 3 years ago
There are emulators, but enough about warez:P Nice playing.

zothoaimai 3 years ago
If you have no soundcard - how do you want to make it sound? Or do you mean you only have an onboard Soundchip? However: I can't tell you that. You will have to ask Steinberg for those problems. Sorry :(

Well... what shall I say? Just read the text on the bottom :D ... it's the song "Clubbed to death" by Rob Dougan (known from the Matrix-Movie)
Starfool06 3 years ago
Wow, I love the sound of that keyboard! Awesome job man, you play really well! Keep it up!
corndogers564 4 years ago
It's not the sound of the keyboard, it's just a controller ;) ... the Sound is generated by Steinbergs VST-Plugin "The Grand 2". I just wanted to let you know that ;)
Starfool06 3 years ago
Did you solve the cracking noise already? Because I think the solution is easy: I found out that if I use a too low delay selected at the ASIO Control Panel, that the sounds start to have little cracking noises due to that the software can't keep up with everything. I can't explain it in a more logical way, but setting the delay value or tweaking in an other way around with your settings may solve these problems.
sanderthalen 4 years ago
Yeah, I tried the same and at least it works, when I am not recording. I didn't try it while recording again, but I guess that should do it. And many thanks for your help!
Starfool06 4 years ago
No problem, glad to help out although it ain't the perfect solution.
Keep up the good work! :)
sanderthalen 4 years ago
Ah damn... I forgot my newest video :D ... okay, it works also whilst recording :D (look at my "live jammin'" video)
And maybe it ain't the perfect solution, but at least it works ^^
Before my axiom I used the MIDI-Ports of my Interface and then you really notice the delay. Because of that I lowered the buffersize...
Starfool06 4 years ago
Yeah the latency thats causing the crackling.or the cpu maxing out either one can cause crackling i always gotta adjust my settings depending on what i am using. it also has ecano mode to save cpu. but i love this program! nice play aswell i love that piano song i am trying to learn it !

Starfool06 4 years ago
Kennst du die ganzen Liedern bzw. wie sie zu spielen sind (blöd ausgedrückt: wann welche Taste) von früher oder hast du sie dir selbst beigebracht? Wenn ja, wie? Nach Noten? Rumprobiert? Wüsste gar nicht, wie man an so eine Sache rangeht ;)
Grüße!
MaddysNet 4 years ago
Also die zu hörenden Lieder (die 4 bekannten) habe ich nur nach Gehör "zurechtgewurschtelt", also nix nach Noten oder so. Einfach oft genug gehört und nachgespielt.
Das Lied das ganz zu Anfang läuft (im Intro) das habe ich mir selbst ausgedacht und das was am Ende beim Abspann läuft ist auch meine Kreation.
Starfool06 4 years ago
You play wel, get good feeling out of Axiom.
"The Piano" is a Yann Tiersen composition for the french film "Amelie" I believe...it's on the soundtrack anyway and he wrote most of it..
Keep it up, props from NL.
