huh... several questions: is it tone generation or sample-based? He says it's both for the same example... maybe it's synth for every sound but for piano? and... are you buying one?
- Marcos Marado
Hmm, seems there is a "suzuki au 200 silent"... it's not an yamaha but it is less expensive. On the other hand, I can't see the silent suzuki's lists and specs...
- Marcos Marado
Are you buying one ? I don't care if you choose a suzuki ;-)
- Susana Sousa
Not really... if I can't even find its specs :-P Anyway, I've seen what Yamaha has available, and the only pianos (in Portugal) they sell that do MIDI-out are Grand Pianos... no way I'm getting one of those :-P Might have to stick with digital pianos...
- Marcos Marado
It's an acoustic piano with MIDI encoding for all keys and a "super-muffle", that takes the hammers off the strings if you want to use the tone-generator. It's nothing new, really.
- João Martins
The keys are as heavy as they are in a real piano, the instrument is as heavy as a real instrument (vertical piano), but you can play in "silent" mode and have the normal features of an electric keyboard, minus pitch bend, vibrato and all the other knobs and faders. Great for piano players, I guess.
- João Martins
And music. It's dreadful, opening several tabs, then some annoying tune starts playing and you have to close and reopen several before finding the culprit...

Who would say that my first recording using the stylophone would be a metal track? This is quite hard to play when you're headbanging... And solos are hard here
On a related note, it would quite easier to record if I didn't get this emotive while playing... Seems like gig'ing :-P

Grrr! I'm envying you! You got the best! Paula and that stylophone :)

Yes, who would have guessed, knowing you. Come on, that's not such a big surprise, is it? :-P Anyway, when can we hear it?? :-)
- Nuno Nunes
Yes, I used to have a metal band, and Merankorii will release at least two tracks that fit into that category...

from fftogo
Nuno: when was the last time you heard a Metal track from me? :-P For me was a surprise! I actually think you never got to listen to Mordor (my metal band)... Regarding this track, it's far from completed mate, but there's going to be a new Merankorii album really soon now!
- Marcos Marado
from fftogo
OK, fair enough, I haven't heard any metal songs by Merankorii. But just for the record, I did listen to one or two tracks by Mordor. I don't have them, but I listened to you playing them in your laptop once upon a time. Hehe!
- Nuno Nunes
Pedro: in time :-) Nuno: that wasn't actually Mordor, but I think there's some Mordor online... I'll give you a link if you really want to hear it :-P

Eh, não consigo deixar de me lembrar instantaneamente do Adam Curry a dizer dô-tê un dô-cê...

Nã me lembro. Mas isto na altura devia estar muito dentro do espírito da época. Isto faz-me lembrar que tenho que ouvir mais Kid Creole & The Coconots...

The Matrix Online is reminding us all that it's slowing coming undone as the system becomes more and more unstable with each passing day.
