KIEFER First Impressions | Keyscape Sessions

[@MusicFed]

My God the beauty of this guy’s playing....

[@MoonLanta]

yep, the Bill Evans of our day...minus a whole bunch of block chords and heroin (i hope)

[@BuyingScratchoffsFTW]

Music Fed yes

[@thaDjMauz]

@@MoonLanta probably a lil weed and no more

[@peterterry2583]

IM SAYIN

[@TiteTrax]

You have no idea, Bruh. He's barely playing here and if you EVER get a chance to hear him live, don't let some ditzy chick talk you into going to Comic Con or something else. HaHa!!

[@machettman]

if spectrasonics made a standalone hardware keyboard with keyscape, trillian, omnisphere and Stylus RMX in it along with premapped expression wheels, faders and knobs, id buy it in a heartbeat.

[@mrjoeybeats]

Ashton Khan Bruh that wud be sick

[@devilgabo]

Yes! Me too! it will be amazing!

[@MovieAddictMitch]

Dude, that would kill the keyboard game. All they would have to do is make sure they have a clean design and good UI.

[@johnpencemusic]

THIS

[@machettman]

@@MovieAddictMitch yes its success would be entirely dependent on how intuitively they design the UI. but it seems like they have a good approach with all their UIs this far. customizable yet not overly complicated. they know that all their users care about the sound before anything

[@CurranVanWaarde]

*plays the most amazing shit ever* "yeah so that was just all the major chords in random order"

[@CRAETION_]

hahahah I had the same reaction dude. the keyboard is an extension of Kiefer's limbs man

[@godisbollocks]

Kinda was, though.

[@cy9105]

5:47 Kiefer: I don’t even know (scratches his head) Also Kiefer: Crafts one of the most beautiful improvisations I’ve ever heard. If you ever have an opportunity to catch Kiefer live, do it. You won’t be disappointed. Great job with Keyscape, Eric. It’s so subtle, dynamic, and expressive.

[@SpectrasonicsVIDEO]

Eric says Thx!❤

[@tonylancer7367]

Imagine taking this back to the '70s, '80s and blowing the minds of people. No, this is not a Rhodes, it is anything you want it to be. The CIA would probably want to stop you for this "supercomputer advancement". This demo blew my mind. A MIDI'ed Fender Rhodes playing Spectrasonics Keyspace through the Fender Rhodes. Too much internet or just enough? I adore the Spectrasonics stuff. Top class.

[@tunjioluwajuyemi]

i know, right? Next thing you know they will have a microphone that will have you talk into it and then into the computer and have it send the processed signal to you vocal chords and out your mouth so your voice sounds like stereo effects. But then it will also let other people speak into the same microphone and have it go to your vocal chords and out your mouth so your voice speaks other people’s voices.

[@Theboydevoye]

lol!

[@rios_5314]

I spent $2,800 on a new macbook pro 16 just for this man! this is the future for musicians. Keyscape upright piano, mks,rhodes just to name a few, like cory henry said in the keyscape introduction video it's over man, keyscape best in class.

[@TrendOrchestra]

I love how you can see Eric's passion for the product. Just smiles, smiles, smiles.

[@StatD]

"I don't even know how I would play over something like this..." *Creates the beginnings of one the greatest compositions of all time*

[@khoiduy1151]

Kiefer: uses his own hands to do magic* Also kiefer: that's crazy...

[@Ninosmusic]

The sounds are spectacular, but man Kief is one the greatest modern producers/musicians I've ever heard

[@adityasaxena7374]

Me: This guy plays with so much emotion Kiefer: THAT WAS ALL THE MAJOR CHORDS IN RANDOM ORDER

[@flacobass]

Eric has given us almost unthinkable realities through his ingenuity and creative skills as an accomplished musician, engineer and scientist! I can't even fathom having had something of this caliber back when I was coming up actually playing these physical instruments. I'm still stunned every time I call up both factory and my own patches in Keyscape, Omnisphere and Trilian. Constant inspiration every time! Thank you Eric Persing!!

[@SpectrasonicsVIDEO]

So kind of you! That’s why we do what we do. Thank you for all your support!

[@acfg9095]

@@SpectrasonicsVIDEO hi, I also use keyscape and it is very nice. If I play live with Keyscape, the sound is coming from my laptop, and that has a little bit delay. I was wondering if there is any way to make the sound of Keyscape coming out of my piano, without delay.

[@SpectrasonicsVIDEO]

Please reach out to our Tech Support team - they'll be happy to help you out with this! [e-mail] 🙂

[@J053B01L]

not to mention that CLASSIC D-50

[@jefgibbons]

What!! Kiefer... you guys are just getting all of my favourite artists!! He just blew us away at a live show in November... INCREDIBLE musician, incredible performer, and just a great guy!!

[@lucasmartin7845]

Keyscape has a unique depth to the sound, the sounds are so good, that i could eat them with ice cream and waffles.

[@zuluswazi9470]

Hahaha, glad i'm not on alone on the ice cream along nice things like music. all the way from Swaziland. Enjoy, be safe.

[@bighousemusic628]

I don't know what ad/Da converters they use to sample keyscape instruments but not even electronic high end keyboards synthesizer sounds does not come close keyscape sounds better than electronic keyboards cost tens of thousands of dollars

[@NikolausBrocke]

Eric's sounds are here to stay. And that's very hard to archive in the ever so fast changing software industry. Look at Trilogy for instance. It's a very old plugin and you still can't find a better sounding plugin for bass. You don't pay for spectrasonic products, you invest in it.

[@TSTBand]

Honestly, this is not just a Sample Library, this people of Spectrasonics have made ART in the form of Sample Libraries, the fundamental elements to connect with the music you want to portrait, the Keyscape software just allow you to feel it. My congratulations to all the team of Spectrasonics, you really nailed with this product in a way that is difficult to achieve to anybody else!.

[@SpectrasonicsVIDEO]

🙌🙌🙌

[@acfg9095]

Which laptop are u using?​@@SpectrasonicsVIDEO

[@RainbowicalPrisim]

I met up with Kiefer for a lesson a few years ago and we were discussing gear. After telling him about my Fender Rhodes, he said you should always stick with analog gear cause it’s better. I think Keyscape is one of the only exceptions when it comes to digital gear for me.

[@thegimpsometimes5937]

I cant tell you how much i relate to the guy coming up smiling ear to ear telling him how it works and pulling the classic "ok ill shut up and leave and let you do your thing" as soon as dude starts playing

[@BlackenedNL]

Kiefer makes such chill music. His next EP should be full Keyscape and Trilian :)

[@lovejazzloverap]

It's going to be a studio album, with live playing on it. Even better.

[@TravisLohmannMusic]

can you recommend a good album for me to start with of his?

[@lovejazzloverap]

Can't go wrong with either Kickinit Alone or happysad sunday, all of his catalog is dope.

[@creativical]

You know you've got the real shit when you trigger virtual Rhodes via playing on the actual Instrument!

[@tvariuness]

this is the best advert for this product periodt. i brought mine off this video.

[@visionmusic2097]

There are so many players that are amazing, but no matter how many chords they play, it's the 'Touch' that really makes you feel the emotion in the song or loop. Kiefer has a majestic touch on the keys, that many don't have. Deffo one of my favourite players.

[@RobMeijers]

Legendary sounds, astonishing dynamic range

[@brucewalker3944]

I never expected to be lost in time. I'm so thankful for hearing this unique melodic style

[@thegroove2000]

KIEFER looked genuinly impressed. Blown away.

[@shanesprague764]

How delicately he runs down the piano 6:58

[@TallSomeone]

What a real musical spirit. Eric, you serve this world well.

[@Ehmuhson]

Don't mind me, just back for my weekly dose of Kiefer noodling with these amazing patches.

[@rafaelpernil]

I'm in love with the sound of that upright. It always inspires me to explore new dimensions

[@theaudioeng]

Told you it was the best out there ..... (!). Nice Eric & team, as well as of course Kiefer here. Sweet session!! Love my Keyscape and Omnisphere too naturally. Be safe all ..... 🖐😷🎹👍🎶🌍🍻

[@sax0tenor158]

I'm a huge fan of Keyscape. It's sooooo perfect.

[@theonlyonelucius5843]

Keyscape C7 is great. Would love to see a Steinway Model D with keyscape

[@degheltproductions]

Keyscape is dope ! I am using it everyday, everything that comes from Spectrasonics is made by musicians for musicians, Thank you Eric and your wonderful team ! You are the best !

[@AZIZ18691]

Wow it sounds gorgeous and with Kiefer playing it’s mind blowing.

[@dukeengine1339]

Guys you all do a great job, thank you! Your products are awesome...

[@NVTIVE247]

These guys are pioneers with these sounds.. And Kiefer blessing the keys too 🤯

[@jayeff8096]

That A/B between rhodes and keyscape was ridiculous! The future has most definitely arrived hahaha.

[@jimmoore6514]

Kiefer, man. Absolutely stunning player. Great video!

[@joeskutnik8696]

Keyscape is my go-to for getting any ideas out. Thanks for making my favorite vst.

[@ActualKaktus]

I’ve been on the fence for years, but as of today, I’m a proud Omnisphere owner. I sent an email to their support team this afternoon and had a response within 15 minutes! I was shocked. I can’t wait to see how Spectrasonics advances the industry next.

[@AGoodVibe]

Love Kiefer! Thanks for these videos. Keyscape demos are the best.

[@creepkilla007]

Love this homies music. Glad you guys are getting such a great variety of musicians and pianist.

[@JeffRyan_88keys]

What a sound! Thar last piano tone was my favorite. It's unbelievable how much it captures the tone of a real acoustic piano. That thick bright tone with extra lasting sustain.

[@j4s0n67]

this is just pure magic lmao this is sooo cool you guys working for keyscape did an awesome job

[@applejuicedaddy]

That was the most magical thing I’ve ever heard in my life

[@spiro2706]

This is so incredibly satifying

[@dannybourne_]

Stay safe Eric and the team. Thank you for the best synths on the planet.

Takin' me to the land of make believe with that upright tone.

[@beng2617]

I've always wondering where to begin learning how to play like this. I know chord structures and theory but how do you just throw them together like this. So beautiful

[@Astrothunder_]

To be fair, some of what Kiefer is playing in this demo is NOT just “stuff he threw together”. They are real melodies from different beats he’s played over the years.

[@CRAETION_]

phenomenal keyboardist, amazing sounds from Spectrasonics and awesome video... love you guys

Man Kiefer playing all that killin’ stuff 🤙🏾

I wonder what goes through people’s minds that are this good at playing piano. I’m decent and definitely have a ton of room to grow, wish I coulda started in childhood.

[@jordan6988]

@@BryWMac perfect way of explaining it. At first its work and you gotta think but after a couple years everythings natural and you can venture off without a thought. Best thing ive ever done for myself was learn to play

When you have the experience, training and talent, then being in flow means NOT thinking.

[@petegreenwood2793]

Beautiful sounds, beautiful playing!

[@perfektpitch]

I want to add to the several other commenters desiring to see a stand alone hardware keyboard with these sounds. UNLIKE THE OTHER COMMENTERS, I'd love to see a stand alone hardware keyboard not only with all these exceptional sounds, but NO WORKSTATION!! NO SEQUENCERS,!! NO SAMPLING CAPABILITIES!! All money, time, and effort goes into the sounds for LIVE PERFORMANCE!! Just incredible editable sounds that can be upgraded.
