[22bbn]

'SIGH' AAAAAHHHHH wow thank you that was beautyful

[mariorossi930]

I know the name of the preset that you used (it is Ivory 1?) Thanks

[words1966]

Great performance, mate!

I have to know if this one is IVORY I or II...first question.

and...

I have a big problem with a Key E in the middle of the keyboard. It goes down slow and comes up slow...I can not play nothing in these conditions :o(

Can you help me? I have the same master keyboard as your: VMK188

Thank you for any answer that you will be able to give to me.

massimocurcio@gmail.com is my personal email.

Thanks so much and congratulations again for your composition/improvised

I enjoy your playing! I also have Ivory II Grand Pianos and Yamaha CVP-303 piano. I have problms with using it.... Could you please explain how do you connect your keyboard to the computer and how do you configure Ivory II? Do you have any problems with latency when playing Ivory?

[frododoingo987]

schön gespielt! was hast du für ein equipment, dass es so sauber läuft??

[mYOwngUn]

[shaymike1]

[UrbanAndSnooo]

[karinachop]

beautiful!

[xbgyuri]

wow...that was cool. congrats man

[BravoAlphaLimaJR]

GREAT PLAYING!!!

[FredrikParkMusic]

Great improvisation and VST sound!

I wonder if you feel the VMK188+ is medium heavy to play on or more/less heavy, and if you think the key release mechanism is quite or not.

I have an AKAI MPK88, and it got tons of features, but I don't think the key mechanism is so good... I get tired in my wrists, and the key release mechanism is noisy.

Thanks in advance for any helpful reply :) You've got great skills and ear.

Sehr schöne Improvisation! Kann sie mir garnicht oft genug anhören! :D

Hast du nur eines der Presets genutzt oder auch etwas selber gemastert?

Ich hab das Problem, dass ich nicht so einen großen bodenständigen Sound hinbekomme, bei mir klingt alles etwas flach. - Mag zum teil daran liegen, das ich kein Audiointerface habe sondern nur ne normale Soundkarte mit dem Asiotreiber.

Ich fummel auch zurzeit mit der Velocity rum. Bei meinem Keyboard ist das noch nicht so schön vom spielgefühl.Greets!

[NightwolfsCanto]

@OEtniesFreakO

danke :)

das ist nur ein preset. klingt in meinen ohren auch weitgehend optimal, daher muss ich net viel rumschustern. der sound kommt so direkt aus ivory ohne irgendwelche nachbearbeitungen.

auch eine normale soundkarte gibt den sound von solchen instrumenten gut wieder.

weiß net, ob das dir mit dem velocity problem hilft, aber googel mal nach pianotuner v1.0, vielleicht ists ne lösung.

viele grüße

Hi,

I'm scouting for a good keyboard to buy but my budget is limted to 500 euros. So as i'm mostly interested in the action of the keys. I keep on considering VMK188Plus one of my best options. My short list also contains Acuna 88 from Studiologic as well and Yamaha P95. Please tell me what you think.

How's the VMK? Did you have any velocity problems for some of the keys? I see on different forums that they present this issue frequently.

Regards,

Andrei

@SicilyJoel

you need a VST-host like Cubase, an audio-interface and an USB or MIDI cable to connect your keyboard to your interface. you load your VST instrument of your choice into your VST host and that's basically it ;)

[priitraag]

@NightwolfsCanto Thank you for the beautiful improvisation! What kind (brand/model) of an audio-interface are you using?

[NightwolfsCanto]

@priitraag

ur welcome ;)

it's an Edirol UA-25EX. works like a charm

[SilverfangX777]

@NightwolfsCanto Great playing!!! I got a question about your midi controller, is it any good? I heard the feel is wonderful, but the controls themselves don't do too well. I need the controls for tweaking synths and stuff like that.

[NightwolfsCanto]

@SilverfangX777

Thank you.

The controllers are fine for use in a homestudio. I don't really have much experience in playing live, but I guess that other keyboards may provide a more intuitive design of the controllers than this keyboard. If you have just a couple of controllers, then it should be fine anyway, I think.

[lephenixdorient]

waow ahaha Man So Great !!

[19MAP89]

sehr schön! gefühlvoll, interessante Harmonien, auch mehr ruhige Pausen als in den ersten Stücken, das verleiht der Musik noch mehr Ausdruck

[NightwolfsCanto]

thx @ all :)

killhunter: so blöds auch klingt, aber eigentlich ists nur learning by doing. viele grundlegende ideen für akkordfolgen findet man übrigens in classic rock musik-

@moosai

great song, didn't know it before :) looks like lotta fun

[MoosaiLuver]

If I had as much talent as you have in your pinky, I'd be able to play The Allman Brother's Jessica. XD

[Killhunter80]

wie hast du gelernt zu improvisieren? :)

[ForwardREF]

as always, happy wonderful music in your performance. Creative success to you.
