since im a beginner i wont be playing any super complex masterpieces, and perhaps when im a genius who is able to do that ill be able to afford an 88 key piano..
My question changed : is a 61 key piano enough for a BEGINNER
Hello ceccere, my name is Wagner! I got a controller and I found the samples of a piano here. A StainWay also, but can you help me with smth? What do I do With all these files? How do I use them to play with my controller?
Please, be good with me, heheh. Help me.
And one last question, how many layers got the Stainway sample youre using?
hello! you play awsome!i have a qquestion for you: how cand i make my axiom49 work in windows 7? i tried with ableton 8.1, but it doesn't work! what should i do?do you now another software?
awesome, can you PLEASE PLEASE tell me something? do you find any delay of the sound when playing the axiom 61? can you play grand piano live and It will be fine or the axioms are only for recording? because I'm about to buy the axiom PRO 61 to use it as a midi synth for some songs, but I also want it to use as a piano, is this possible? thanks ANSWER PLEASE!!
@gastonbarker Latency doesn't depend on the controller. It depends on your PC, mainly the sound card, CPU and RAM.
If you're going to use a normal, cheap interior sound chip you're gonna experience enough delay due to latency to be bothered by it when using a controller live. You can compensate that with settings in your Sequencer, but it's still an issue.
Master controllers are more useful for recording than live unless you have an expensive setup.
@jojoyear what do you mean about good gear? the pc that I will use is a macbook pro 13 core 2 duo 2.4gh 4gb ram, is that good? my budget is not that big, so I cant buy a keyboard and a midi controller, the solution was a good midi controller such as de axiom pro 61, and in the vid it looks like it is not bad,the song is really on time and if there were a lot of latency it wouldnt be that perfect, the axiom pro 61 was a good option because it is a great midi controller and perfect for pro tools
@dougdmelo It's different. It's better for recording because it's more flexible and you can use customized high quality plugins in your DAW/sequencer. It's worse to use live unless you have a very expensive setup and it's not as useful to learn playing Piano. So you might prefer a keyboard, stage piano or Synth depending on your application area.
If you want a flexible recording solution and have a complete DAW buy a good master controller, if you wanna learn to play and make live music don't.
@jojoyear another good thing was the weighted keys, and I have an interface, actually 2 interfaces, I have an m-audio 2626 firewire and i'm about to buy the new mobilepre.. is that good gear for you or what should I buy to get the axiom pro 61 sounding like a keyboard? thanks so much for your anwer
@gastonbarker Personally, I'd prefer a midicontroller with your setup. I don't use my PC for live music though. I don't know much about external interfaces, but I think the latency with any proper model will be good enough for most appliances. It's possible to record perfectly timed music with mediocre Latency though 'cause you can adjust your sequencer to compensate it. You might still not want to have to deal with it live when you need things to work out very quickly and easily.
@gastonbarker Just to be clear: I'm talking about "semiprofessional" live appliances with an audience and some aspirations if I talk about live usage. If you will use your controller alone to record multiple tracks and do the occasional little private show you're most likely gonna be very pleased with your desired setup. It might just not be the perfect solution for playing proper live shows or in bands where it'll be inconvenient to have any delay whatsoever.

how useful is this keyboard to somebody not so interested in hooking it to a computer?. It's not that i never want to hook it in, i just want to be able to use it quite a bit without being hooked into anythiing other than the power and an amp
This is the reason I want a keyboard, to learn piano and play songs like these, does the piano relax you when you play? I think it would relax me. Amazing.
hey man!, let me ask to you this: im seriously thinking in buy the axiom 61!, but i discovered this video watch?v=3V5407d6HFA&feature=related about a problem with the keys, what do you think? do you have experienced that? thank you!
Mi hai fatto venire i brividi ... tra l'altro a mio parere (sono un chitarrista quindi non troppo esperto) sei riuscito a dare una resa delle dinamiche che generalmente un controller con tasti non pesati si "mangia" . ERGO : COMPLIMENTI !
Bloody Brilliant ;-) Im getting the pro 61 this coming tuesday and I hope it sounds as good as this. I love this song, and you did it tonnes of justice, well done. Im subbing ;-)
Its not too difficult. Just takes practice. Youll get it eventually if you keep it up. This is a great piece to refine your skills in regards to finger control and stretching.
um, sorry to burst your bubble.. but you're not exactly playing that are you!.. sorry.. guys listen and watch.. the upper quart isn't actually being keyed. After the main intro.. sooo.. unless you've an extra pair of hands going on up there, naughty naughty!
I think that keyboard has a split transposition feature which allows any octave to change to a different one while playing the same keys. Well spotted though.
I played a similar keyboard the other day which had the high keys where the low keys usually are ie high on the left!
Nah, you missed the right hand pinkie. The angle from which this is filmed makes this easy. I missed it too, removed my comment, and made a new one. The play is OK.
notice the slight 'jump' about an eighth beat out of time at 3.24secs. i'm guessing that's because it's a 61 key keyboard and not 77 or 88 and the high notes cannot be reached without transposing them.
Dang now this guy real good at playing moonlight sonata cuz everybody who do play it ether plays it too fast or plays it till they they mess up. Dang I need this guy to be my teacher.
Great Playing, but i have a question for you... I play keyboards for a band, and I need to buy a better instruments, I saw this keyboard in Amazon for a great price, like $250 or something... the thing is I also like to play with piano sounds, and I think this is not the best keyboard for doing that, but what do you think? and also do you need a laptop to use the synth sounds live or they come integrated in the keyboard? Thanks!
It depends n the keyboard itself. If it's a MIDI controller keyboard, then yes, you will need a computer of sorts to generate the sounds... Or a MIDI processor. There are keyboards loaded with stock synths and ones that you can actually load in yourself that are meant for live playing.
@ctorres14 I'm pretty sure the axiom 61 is just a midi controller, which means it needs an external sound bank source (like a laptop) to trigger the sounds. Hope that helps.
If you are using MIDI or Computer recording, this is a great accessory: "Over-the-keys stand". It is available on ebay time-to-time. I could not find it anywhere else.
all midi controllers are essentially the same, just get fl studio and click in notes, unless ur a keyboardist or piano player you don't really need one
thats not true, that axiom 49 can act as alot of differant things in FL studios, im no key boardist, but it makes alot of stuff waaaaay easier to do..
A midi-keyboard could speed up some work, everyone can play a short little segment of a melody( or that one in his mind), you dont have to play on beat since you can correct it later on.
If you can afford a midi-keyboard, you should get one.
starting now, listen to as much motherfucking music as u can, if you are serious, you need to do this, listen at all times, listen to everything, as many records as you can, no matter how obscure or how popular. EVERTHING!!!!!
do this until you have $1500 and buy a fantom or any other keyboard workstation(the keys on those things are pro) if you want keys, or an mpc if you want to do samples. GL!!!
I'm amazed by your wonderful feeling and play really on some passage I can hear the original record...you got it man...would like to know which piano software sound like this...even on reason..may I use Fl studio..and the grand of steinberg
The Axiom has quite light keys for piano playing, but its a great all rounder for synth, organ, piano rhodes. A good keyboard, the aftertouch is quite hard to use expressively you have to press quite hard, not as hard as you would on a roland/edirol though, but unlike the roland the key moves when you use aftertouch.
You can get Steinway Concert Grand Piano sampler for Reason 4. But there are many other piano's samplers in the market. There is even a piano synth called Pianoteq, with is very impressive and doesn't need too much RAM memory.
and ahy i need some major help with confiuration with my keyboard its the same one im using fl studio please help would be really awesome of you -Chase-
good playing! I was undecided between this Axiom 61 and the Keystation Pro 88 that have hammer-action, but after saw this video I think this sounds really great, I think this axiom is sufficient to play piano and it's a lower price :) keep it up
the sound is not coming from the keyboard. It's coming from reason 4 with the Steinway piano sound. Reason 4 is a popular computer program designed for music creation.
Ceccere...thanks for taking the time to share this video,as your video demonstrates perfectly,the nice key-action of the Axiom,as well as eloquently show-casing the BEAUTIFUL sounds of Reason 4...in fact,I have not heard a better piano sample ANYWHERE...BRAVO!
I have the Korg Triton Extreme with a very decent Bosendorfer piano sample,but it clearly does not measure up to the Reason 4 piano samples...truly amazing for a $400 software package!
First off,I just want to say that for someone who plays by ear for fun,I felt it was a rather smooth & soulful performance.
You played this piece with passion & that is one of the main components that makes a musician a TRUE musician.
As for the ghetto-slum-shine motherf**ker who claims your performance was fake..well..he's just some 20 year old gang-banger wanna-be jackass from Canada.
That neolithic spear-chucker should keep his ass shut & stick to what he knows...
As for all of you smart-asses who feel compelled to split hairs by ridiculing & critiquing this man to death,as if he's supposed to be a proffessional concert pianist..well...f*ck you people as well.
great playing, i think theres a bit of a stable velocity to the sound of the piano patch your using, have you considered something like pianoteq, a vst/au physically modelled piano that sounds so much better than the majority of plugins.
its quite cheap and i thinnk would do justice to your amazing playing, i wish i could play by ear (and memory) so well.
Honestly, I didn't think it was that good. Sorry, but it simply sounded mechanical, and there wasn't much variation in tone colour throughout. I also notice you have a habit of accenting the 3rd note of the triplets (intentional?) which sounded jerky and completely disrupted the melody line. Especially during the 2:57 section and similar portions where the ascending/descending broken chords were very uneven.
Don't think it's the keyboard's fault, maybe you'll have to practice harder...
First of all, I am not a professional musician, and do not intend to be. I play the piano and the organ because I love it.
Second, I do not read music, everything I play is by ear and by heart.
Third, I am playing neither on a piano nor on a piano simulator.
These are not excuses to say that the problem would be the equipment and not me. What I want is to show people that we can get a nice, but not perfect, sound with a low budget.
Do you have any problems with your axiom? Ive just purchased mine and im getting as much reviews about them as I can, im mainly worried about the durability. WHat is your opinion on them?
Could you please do more videos, 1. because I want to see the Axiom more and how it performs (low, hi velocity sensitivity) and 2. because you play really sweet and I'd like to see you play more.
Being "musical" doesn't make you a "musician", a musician is someone who performs music with an instrument, a composer might play an instrument, but they generally create music rather than perform it. I'm just going by the definition of both words there, not personal opinion.
I honestly dont know how he could possibly say that this looks remotely fake. The quality is very clear and the playing matches your fingers perfectly.
You play with much feeling and the sound is great, but you're absolutely right, that this keyboard is not suitable for recording piano (especially classical pieces).There's much tension in your fingers as you play and you keep them so straight... I hope it's because of the keyboard.I myself had some trouble relaxing my hands and sticking to the classical-piano technique some time ago as I didn't have a hammer-action keyboard at home to practice on.Anyway, keep up the good work!Cheers!
The sustain pedal has nothing to do with tension on your fingers.Sometimes it gives you a little bit of extra confidence and makes some mistakes not so obvious but generally it shouldn't affect your hands technique. When it's written in the sheet music you have to use the sustain pedal, then you do - if not - you don't. The guy in the video definitely uses a sustain pedal.

marabino18 3 years ago
You can get Steinway Concert Grand Piano sampler for Reason 4. But there are many other piano's samplers in the market. There is even a piano synth called Pianoteq, with is very impressive and doesn't need too much RAM memory.

good playing! I was undecided between this Axiom 61 and the Keystation Pro 88 that have hammer-action, but after saw this video I think this sounds really great, I think this axiom is sufficient to play piano and it's a lower price :) keep it up
gusbakker 3 years ago
the sound is not coming from the keyboard. It's coming from reason 4 with the Steinway piano sound. Reason 4 is a popular computer program designed for music creation.

hello, did you tweak a little the Concert Grand Piano sampler of reason 4? or you just played the sample as is?

Just played it as it comes. I used the preset "Jazz something"...
This sampler doesn't come with reason 4.

Ceccere...thanks for taking the time to share this video,as your video demonstrates perfectly,the nice key-action of the Axiom,as well as eloquently show-casing the BEAUTIFUL sounds of Reason 4...in fact,I have not heard a better piano sample ANYWHERE...BRAVO!
I have the Korg Triton Extreme with a very decent Bosendorfer piano sample,but it clearly does not measure up to the Reason 4 piano samples...truly amazing for a $400 software package!

Hey Ceccere,
First off,I just want to say that for someone who plays by ear for fun,I felt it was a rather smooth & soulful performance.
You played this piece with passion & that is one of the main components that makes a musician a TRUE musician.
As for the ghetto-slum-shine motherf**ker who claims your performance was fake..well..he's just some 20 year old gang-banger wanna-be jackass from Canada.
That neolithic spear-chucker should keep his ass shut & stick to what he knows...

...flipping burgers at McDonald's.
As for all of you smart-asses who feel compelled to split hairs by ridiculing & critiquing this man to death,as if he's supposed to be a proffessional concert pianist..well...f*ck you people as well.
philobeddeo 3 years ago
great playing, i think theres a bit of a stable velocity to the sound of the piano patch your using, have you considered something like pianoteq, a vst/au physically modelled piano that sounds so much better than the majority of plugins.
its quite cheap and i thinnk would do justice to your amazing playing, i wish i could play by ear (and memory) so well.
djfenixuk 3 years ago
pianoteq is the absolute bomb. i can't play at all but the plugin alone inspires me to learn :) great recommendation.
satchguy 3 years ago
If I may ask, which velocity curve are you using?? I cannot decide which is the most realistic one. Thanks.
panospylar 3 years ago
Man, I thought your playing was amazing!
prantare 3 years ago
Honestly, I didn't think it was that good. Sorry, but it simply sounded mechanical, and there wasn't much variation in tone colour throughout. I also notice you have a habit of accenting the 3rd note of the triplets (intentional?) which sounded jerky and completely disrupted the melody line. Especially during the 2:57 section and similar portions where the ascending/descending broken chords were very uneven.
Don't think it's the keyboard's fault, maybe you'll have to practice harder...

Hi there!
I would like to thank you for commenting.
First of all, I am not a professional musician, and do not intend to be. I play the piano and the organ because I love it.
Second, I do not read music, everything I play is by ear and by heart.
Third, I am playing neither on a piano nor on a piano simulator.
These are not excuses to say that the problem would be the equipment and not me. What I want is to show people that we can get a nice, but not perfect, sound with a low budget.
ceccere 3 years ago
There is even a big mistake that you could not spot, but it is because I did not bother to re-recorder it.
I would appreciate if you could give me some tips of how to play it perfectly. I would be pleased to learn and post it here.
Thanks

Do you have any problems with your axiom? Ive just purchased mine and im getting as much reviews about them as I can, im mainly worried about the durability. WHat is your opinion on them?
vampin6 3 years ago
I've had my axiom for over 2 years now and it still works perfectly. Enjoy yours!
ceccere 3 years ago
I'm getting one too. I hope it's that durable.
Could you please do more videos, 1. because I want to see the Axiom more and how it performs (low, hi velocity sensitivity) and 2. because you play really sweet and I'd like to see you play more.
brokenthorn15 3 years ago
Have you tried playing this using the C6 velocity curve? I feel like that's the best one for classical.

Being "musical" doesn't make you a "musician", a musician is someone who performs music with an instrument, a composer might play an instrument, but they generally create music rather than perform it. I'm just going by the definition of both words there, not personal opinion.

It means my video is very good.
I didn't use the audio from my camera. I used the audio I recorded onto the computer.
If you have any question, don't hesitate to ask.
Best wishes!
ceccere 3 years ago
Great answer :D I also always had the idea that if someone says its fake, its cause its too good to be true, which means u did it well!
And yes, I also think u did it real well, what did u record to? Cubase? Logic? Reason?
Nice pianoplay too, soo FAKE!! haha..
Victory020791 3 years ago
I honestly dont know how he could possibly say that this looks remotely fake. The quality is very clear and the playing matches your fingers perfectly.

FR3TKI113R 3 years ago

I used Reason 4.
ceccere 3 years ago
You play with much feeling and the sound is great, but you're absolutely right, that this keyboard is not suitable for recording piano (especially classical pieces).There's much tension in your fingers as you play and you keep them so straight... I hope it's because of the keyboard.I myself had some trouble relaxing my hands and sticking to the classical-piano technique some time ago as I didn't have a hammer-action keyboard at home to practice on.Anyway, keep up the good work!Cheers!
moonybg 3 years ago
would it help easing the tension on your fingers if you use the sustain pedal?
ajichiban833 3 years ago
The sustain pedal has nothing to do with tension on your fingers.Sometimes it gives you a little bit of extra confidence and makes some mistakes not so obvious but generally it shouldn't affect your hands technique. When it's written in the sheet music you have to use the sustain pedal, then you do - if not - you don't. The guy in the video definitely uses a sustain pedal.
moonybg 3 years ago
What sample set is that? Is that the reason pianos? If so, it sounds excellent.
npl148 3 years ago
It's the Steinway Concert Grand Piano sample from Reason Piano Refill.
