A cover of the stunning song from the Empty Sky album. I love this song so much. Please comment and enjoy this. The piano used here was a Roland RD1000. Please note that this was recorded in my bedroom this morning and isn't perfect!

  • Beyond awesome!  Congrats.

  • @raojag Thank you

  • Absolutely nothing is ever perfect - but your's is "so very close"!

  • @FlyBoy7X7 Bless you, thanks.

  • I am amazed at your perfect reproduction of that famous EJ sound. I was so impressed that I just bought a RD-1000 to use as my main controller. please explain to me how to attach my cheap midi yamaha keyboard so that I can layer the Yamaha grand sound with the RD-1000 piano sound? Currently all I can do is play the Yamaha keyboard sounds on the Roland. Do I need additional equipment? I have it hooked up (MIDI OUT on the RD-1000) and (MIDI IN on the Yamaha keyboard) PLEASE HELP!

  • Hi and thanks a lot for those comments.

    You'll need a small mixer to run both instruments into in stereo, you can then mix the sound of the Yamaha and the Roland, whilst controlling the Yamaha from the RD1000 via MIDI. This won't be quite the Elton sound, but will be a good fat piano sound nonetheless.

    You'll need to EQ this too. This sound I'm using has slight compression, a good reverb and EQ.

    Max :-)

see all

  • Remarkable!!! What kind of equipment do you need to buy to get your piano to sound like Elton John's piano? I never could figure it out. Thanks :)
