How is the piano feel on the Studiologic ?

[SolarRainUK]

@Patrick19702210 Very nice, a little heavy, but very close to a real piano!

[AirborneLaser]

SolarRain, you're an inspiration to those of us who cannot read sheet music and must get by using only our eyes and ears.

[SolarRainUK]

@AirborneLaser I'm really glad to hear that. Being unable to read music isn't a disadvantage, it's just a pain in the ass sometimes!

[MRKraft89]

GREAT! how did you get the pads/strings? tweaked it yourself? with what synth/vst? great job on the bass, excellent piano! Overall = Exquisite

[SolarRainUK]

@MRKraft89 Hey there, glad you enjoyed it. The pads are from Spectrasonics Atmosphere, but tweaked. Bass was created in FM8, actually most of the other instruments are FM8,but the bass was probably the most difficult thing to get close.

[misterprim]

very close to the original, but with something special and undescriptible that makes it a little better than the original

[zenmachinefilms]

Really good job.

[67thecrow]

just chill and picture your self inthe beach.....great hu?

[Andreeeiiii]

f*** overrated

[kamilkhan88]

Absolutly amazing talent. Wow I literally lost my breath at 42 secs - the change of tempo. You inspire - God bless.

[buzzersounds]

awesome!!!.......... i would like to see that performed on guitar too

[joshordan]

You absolutely nailed that piece! My favourite JH piece!

[kinmanyuen]

i agree the bass synth sample is hard to replicate

[supercooled]

@AirborneLaser Right you are, right you are. I especially like the instrument that sounds like the one prominantly used in Berlin's Take My Breath Away. Is that electric bass?

Good thing is, we can always revisit or hell, refuse to grow up and just keep listening to the same music. Good thing there were so many from that era it's hard to exhaust your collection.

Check out Trashcan Sinatras if you want "new wave" band that's currently making music.

@supercooled I totally understand what you mean. I grew up as a "Child of the 80's" and most of the music I listen to now is the same stuff I enjoyed between 1983 and 1990. I feel that there's quality music to be found today, however it seems to be far and few between.
