Did not doe any processing other than leveled it at -14 LUFS. It’s mostly your MIDI controller that reads the velocity differently. What keyboard/controller do you use?

You can also low cut everything at 35/30 HZ but that isn’t the issue here.

Keyscape sounds darker because it uses a denoise filter (eq) but has superior reverbs. You can also find very bright keyscape patches in the plugin.

Thanks a lot! I thought the sounds were cool too.

I’ll take it as a compliment ;)

@rolandv-piano not an insult at all, I'm just a bit slow. Nice playing btw.

@@The_Sonic_Oasis Thanks!

No, I layered 3 electric piano tones and tweaked the effects to achieve this sound.

Custom preset based on the default one. Tweaked the reverb, release time, velocity curve and the dynamics parameter.

It’s an electric piano with delay at different speeds. I also tweaked the feedback time. This preset is available for download.

@@sale6257Well, it’s not part of the V-Piano engine and doesn’t come close to the new piano sound expansions that are now available for RD2000 and Fantom8. To me it sounds like the previous presets from the old models like NX, GX and RD stage keyboards.

@@rolandv-piano Thanks to Mr. V for the explanation I think the sound of RD88EX is also good

This is the V-Piano and the sound comes from Ableton Live

@@rolandv-piano thankyou ❤️💝

@@borisandrijic8708 It’s obvious you don’t get it.

Keyscape + 2 reverbs

@@zoltanns Thank you very much!

@@ageshero It’s a Roland V-Piano but the sounds come from my computer. I just use it as a MIDI controller.

@@rolandv-piano that’s awesome. I wonder if roland sells a model that’s just a really nice keybed without the extra internal engines.

@@rolandv-piano I’m currently a bit of a Korg guy, but my Korg krome’s keybed kinda is not doing it for me and I’m outgrowing it

@@ageshero Look up Roland A-88

I only used Ozone 11 to get it to -13 LUFS because of KZbin but nothing special in this Ableton template. What is the MIDI controller you are using?

@@rolandv-piano when I play for each tone I also hear a high frequency noise (each time I play a tone) like fs fs fs. I tried to reduce it by changing age (tape section) and lowering high freq boost and this makes it muddy. Also needed to Eq (lower around 500 and boost around 1-2k to sound sharp) but still no there. I feel that yours is more clean and sharp and I dont hear these high freq key noises (Noise suppression is set to strong)

I used the denoise parameter. Might be your speakers\headphones that are too bright. But if you don’t use denoise it can be problematic.

@@rolandv-piano yeah I always use strong denoise. Could be my headphones …my MIDI is native - komplete 88

You’ll never get the same sound with that type of controller. I had a Jd-Xa and the sound was totally different. But this has nothing to do with sample noise. I didn’t use other types of processing for this video.

I use both live. I think Roland responds better but not if you are trying to play really softly. RD 2000 has now unlimited polyphony for the German piano sound and the low end and the string resonance is really good. You can tweak Keyscape to have a soft/fast feel but you need a fast computer and a quality MIDI controller. I think Keyscape is the most convenient.

@@rolandv-piano Thank you. This helps a lot :)

Thank you! It has some nice filters too which can be used to change the texture of the pianos while maintaining the same instrument characteristics.

Thanks!

Thank you! The pads are awesome!

​@@rolandv-pianoYes! Korg is one of the best producers of synth and pad sounds. And yet, I have been a convinced and satisfied Yamaha keyboard player for decades, lol!

You can slow down the video.

@@matthewgaines10 I literally use no mouse or keyboard when I perform live with this setup and the Akai controller is shown in the video. Also every song is prepared and ready to go in my Ableton template. You clearly care about what I use because you clicked on the video and left a comment.

@@MrDexterSr It should work. Check out my video on how to load a Keyscape preset for Mac.

Yes, lots of limitations on this keyboard. I would not spend 5k on it.

You can only use 3 insert fx in total and the recording on the usb drive is in mp3 format. Like are we still in 2007?

@@rolandv-piano mine was £3k actually - bought almost new "opened box" from SCAN (highly reccomend them) so saved money but even so still chose to return it.

More videos coming!

I didn’t buy a keyboard. I only made a few presets so I can help the people who have already bought it.

@@rolandv-piano Okay. It's your money anyway. You are so lucky to have these keyboards. The price of that is like a 1 year rental of a 3 bedroom apartment here.

@@amusic9825Making music is expensive and not many people understand this.

In that case why not buy a computer instead?

Also found out you can only use 3 fx inserts in total on the Pa5X although you have 9 insert fx slots in total.

​@@rolandv-piano Because I bought a Roland E-A7 that will do all I need and never need upgrading, or the cost of upgrades, never will corrupt, and never will have to re-learn how to use it. Muscle memory will be ultra-fast in getting tasks completed, and the efficiency and speed of using my hands over a mouse is never going to be eclipsed. Then the complete and total pleasure of using hardware over a clumbsy interface to a computer makes the writing of music a complete joy, instead of a complete burden and chore. If you only compose a few songs every few years, then a computer would be fine, probably. But when you are at this every day, the difference in my life was: Computer = no songs. All hardware studio, no computer = over 70 albums of music over the last 10 years. IF you want to build a song like a brick layer, blocks of music on a screen assembled into a song, use a computer. IF you are a master of your instruments (keyboard) then play in your songs with all the skill and passion your experience has given you. One song will sound like a robot on a computer, the other song will be free, innovative, original, and beautifully humanly expressive.

@@WildernessMusic_GentleSerene I totally disagree with your statements.

In my opinion, nowadays music are mostly produced in computers while arranger keyboards are intended to live performances, backing for writing music or just for amusement, that is probably the case os most buyers. I can tweak styles but never created a new one from scratch. But hey, I'm very happy with my expensive toy and I bought it just to have fun as a hobby! There is nothing wrong about it.

I agree!

You can select and automate the key and you can affect the phrases depending on how long you hold the chords. It’s not random but you have a lot of presets to choose from. You can also velocity trigger the melodic gestures.

@@rolandv-piano Interesting! Cheers
