Yamaha CP-70 : Genesis Piano Medley

[@fullsentimental997]

Tony Banks is one of the specialists of CP.

[@MathGsr]

C’est LE spécialiste du CP ;)

[@fullsentimental997]

@@MathGsr j'allais modifier mon commentaire, c'est en effet le meilleur. Cet instrument que les moins de 20 ans ne peuvent pas connaître et qui a été "tué" par le numérique alors que le Fender Rhodes a survécu.

[@MathGsr]

J’ai 19 ans, comment dois-je prendre ton commentaire 😭 Sinon c’est compliqué, le CP en soit est un enfer, en tout cas à utiliser sur scène comme Tony : l’entretien est assez lourd et régulier, il faut pratiquement l’accorder à chaque concert, en brut le son est vraiment pas top.. je pense même que Tony utilisait énormément de chorus par flemme de le faire accorder à chaque fois et pour que ce soit moins choquant 😂 Mais à côté de ça, quand tout fonctionne c’est un piano extra, et en vst on a pas tous ces soucis donc que des avantages ^^

[@fullsentimental997]

@@MathGsr Dans un autre style "Alive and kicking" de Simple Minds ou "New Years Day" de U2 sont des grands morceaux de CP. En tout cas, chapeau !

[@DML1978]

I really love the sound of the CP-70 🙂

[@MathGsr]

Same for me ^^ best piano ever made

@@MathGsr I can image that. 🙂

I could almost feel Mr. Banks neurotic speech while listening to this. Great way to honor a Legend down to his 1986-1987 tour clothes hehe. Tony Banks IS Genesis :)))))

[@MathGsr]

I'm so glad to see you spotted all the details I'm working on ! Thank you so much :)

[@JCM-LedZeppelin-Stories]

@@MathGsr i am a Genesis fan so this video was a real pleasure to watch. I am a guitarist and prog composer too. If you want to collab on a Genesis cover i am up to the challenge!

[@MathGsr]

@@JCM-LedZeppelin-Stories We founded a home tribute band with a very good peter Gabriel singer and obviously me behind the keyboards. We are looking for guitarist, bassist and drummer, so if you are interested we would be very happy to work with you as a guitarist :)

[@clement6429]

Ça c'est du medley ! C'est exactement ce genre-là que je prépare pour mes futures vidéos, mais il faut être adroit pour enchaîner avec les différentes tonalités, comme tu le fais. Bravo !

[@MathGsr]

Merci beaucoup :) Detrompe toi ce n'est pas si compliqué. Je m'étais juste fait la liste des morceaux que je voulais dans ce medley, mais j'ai enregistré cette vidéo en une prise, du premier coup sans vraiment réfléchir. Si tu maîtrises bien les morceaux de base, alors ça s'enchaîne tout seul

[@FelixWheatfield]

I enjoy the fact that you wore the Tony Banks stripes to match lol. Great playing

[@carl13220]

Tony serait fier, bravo !!

[@MathGsr]

Merci beaucoup ! Si seulement..

[@utusp]

Amazing!

[@ernestomartinez4090]

Evidence Of Autumn and Heathaze would be great to hear.

[@MathGsr]

I used to play Heathaze when I was learning the piano, but never recorded it

[@leotimm6805]

Very nice !

[@MathGsr]

Thanks mate :)

[@danielvarum6398]

Fantastic, keep it up!!

Thanks mate !

[@IanDixonTDL]

Fantastic. Great playing and I love the CP sounds, its the sound of Genesis. Try Island in the Darkness next :)

[@MathGsr]

Thanks a lot ! The CP is magic :D Wow that’s a huge piece from Tony hahaha

[@IanDixonTDL]

@@MathGsr Yes a lot to get to grips of! I use the CP80 sound on some of my tracks. Not sure if I can link from here soundcloud.com/iansdixon/summer-of-1976

[@MathGsr]

@@IanDixonTDL I also make a massive use of the CP80 on my personnal pieces. I’ll listen to yours asap ;)

[@lesterdfunct]

Great medley! Thanks for the recommendation, that's truly a great celebration of the classic sound of the CP-70. I would totally love full versions of Ripples and/or Firth of Fifth, if you still have some room on your wishlist... :)

[@MathGsr]

There is already very good covers for Ripples so I won't, but Firth will come very soon ! :)

[@pippinpavus2497]

Did you sit this far up because tony does it or do you always sit this high?

[@MathGsr]

I learned to play keyboards years ago and always played high sitted. Moreover you have no choice to be that high with all those keyboards piled up..

[@pippinpavus2497]

​@@MathGsrthanks for the quick answer👍. And I think it's pretty cool because it adds even more to the Tony banks look

[@MathGsr]

@@pippinpavus2497 no problem :) Well it's true, but it's not the reason why I play high. Haha. I just feel very uncomfortable if I'm on a classic seat too low

[@anne-mariebridoux8456]

Ouah...des Medley comme on les aime ! Je crois que je peux me permettre de te demander ton âge...? Je suis une dinosaure 🦖 et une très grande fan de Genesis ! Ton interprétation et ta performance sont hors du commun ! On ne se lasse pas de t’écouter! Bravo et merci pour ces bons moments ! 👏👌🙂😍✌👋❣🇧🇪

[@scottptolomey3498]

Nice emulation of the CP I have the instrument and use the IK Multimedia version and that to me really does nail the tone even at the low end I find a lot of plug in VSTs sound too bright for a CP-70/80 even though the trademark piezo sound is there the depth resonance and decay isn’t

[@MathGsr]

I lever had the chance to put my hands on a real one, but even for emulated cp, the most important thing remains a good stereo chorus in my opinion !

[@scottptolomey3498]

@@MathGsr It’s definitely a very good emulation yes the chorus mainly the old Boss CE-1 was the main key element back in the 80s on a CP-70/80 for most bands in the 80s. Least you have a few advantages it won’t go out of tune strings won’t snap and short out the circuit board like mine did lol

[@scottptolomey3498]

Your playing is superb by the way cracking stuff mate

[@Shred_The_Weapon]

When did Tony purchase his 70?

[@MathGsr]

Probably around 78/79, Mainly used for Duke

[@Shred_The_Weapon]

Believable. Thanks, @@MathGsr.

[@orangeman1131]

@MathGsr can you please tell me your setup? I would love to try this in my home. I know it’s Spectrasonics, but what effects, etc. It sounds like you nailed it exactly!

[@MathGsr]

Just a basic stéréo chorus, an émulation of the Boss Ce1

[@JohnBillington]

Awesome! Well done. Is that a midi keyboard? What patch did you use.

[@MathGsr]

Thanks ! Yes it’s a midi keyboard. The patch name is Electric grand - cp70. Vst from spectrasonics

[@grumblefier]

Great playing and sounds. What was the vst used?

[@MathGsr]

The famous from Spectrasonics :D

[@git606]

Great sound, what’s creating the sound, is it software or another keyboard, thanks

[@MathGsr]

It’s software, the piano is used as midi controller

[@curmudgeonextraordinaire1884]

A lot Yamaha keyboards have this sound as a preset. CP70 with Chorus

[@maukenberti]

​@@curmudgeonextraordinaire1884 Do you know a cheap alternative that sounds like the cp70? Greetings from Hamburg

@@maukenberti a good free alternative is the CP preset from Morphine Vst on Fl studio

[@mitahapsari4960]

Hi Math, for the hackettie guitarist. Where can we get in contact. Are you on IG? Thanks

[@curmudgeonextraordinaire1884]

This was a big sound of the early 80s before romplers became popular. Bands could tour with a gigable piano that sounded good.

[@MathGsr]

You are absolutely right. Cp 70 and Cp80 were the very first great piano sound that you Can bring easily on stage
