Re: [CZsynth] Re: A keyboard which produces realistic Piano, Brass section & Strings?

2004-02-02 by Justin Timberbreaks

Try a s/h Roland D-70
 
How this for a bargain ? Approximate s/h value: £250 / 
 
Roland D-70, got mine in 1994 and will never be 'parted', it is a superb digital synth, real sounds and great at all the other types too..
 
So,
 
If you want really really superb strings, nice brass, (many types) superb piano (the on-board D70 piano patch is fantastic (& very real) & very very playable and I'm still not tired of it yet after 10 years !  Hey,layer it with the ''Low-Strings'' on-board sound and its awesome (dudes !, ''most excellent'')
 
She has 76 weighted keys (with a great feel, very playable..) Many many superb Roland sounds too, D-50 type plus many ''real type' sounds (samples) cos it also has most of the U20 keyboard / U220 sound modules Samples on-board included in her ROM set...
 
No sequencer, can't have it all....I use Atari 
 
(''Long Live Atari'' !)
 
Ok, shes is only 30 voice poly &  6 part multi, but who cares ??!!!
 
In a few words, ITS A BLOODY GREAT keyboard and this is the Best Bit, you could find one on Ebay in great shape for as little as £250 !
 
Wicked.
 
There you go, mine is still sitting above my JD-800 on the stand at home & thats where she is staying !
 
Try to ''get a listen to one'', they are great,,,,,,,Good Luck dude !

  I noticed that you got very few really good options suggested so 
far.  If you are looking for these sounds in VERY high quality and 
yet a budget keyboard, The Korg IX300 is what you want....all this 
plus an onboard sequencer and probably the most sophisticated 
sampled grand piano around.  These were from the late 1990's and can 
sometimes be found on ebay for 2-300 dollars. They have a built in 
floppy disk drive and sounds are compatible with the korg x, i, and 
n series keyboards. Also velocity sensitive with aftertouch but not 
the greatest keys. They are not piano type keys but synth type 
action.
  Hope this helps :o),
    Frank
