- Part deux: • My first time with Key...
Things serendipitously worked out so this keyboard, along with a copy of Spectrasonics Keyscape was ready for me to pick up, and I was available to do so, on my birthday. Happy birthday to me: here are some crazy-awesome new keyboard sounds to fiddle about with! Herein you will find my jolly, ultra-enthusiastic reactions to this new world of sound possibilities. - Hudba
this was so insanely enjoyable i watched the whole thing and i don’t even play piano. it kinda convinced me that i really should start though.
:D not sure what inspired you to check out this vid but i'm very glad you did! btw yours is possibly the best youtube username i've ever seen, kudos
Ryan Yunck i’ve been watching a LOT of spectrasonics videos and this popped up in my recommendations. you got yourself a new subscriber (and instagram follower). and thanks for the compliment!
I had quite a good laugh immediately after reading your name >_< wow, what a name. Cheers.
@@Yunck the recommendation section I was like this when my modx 8 arrived
@@onionhat9141 it's a relatable state of being for anyone who enjoys new gear
In a world that has so much to throw at you, it's quite refreshing to see someone experience such joy. Very tasteful expressions👌Hope you enjoyed your bday
Many thanks to you sir! Between a fun trip out to Guitar Center to pick these up, the thrill of setting up the board (which I'd dreamt of having for years!) and installing the sounds, the delicious excitement of trying it out as displayed in this video, amongst other birthday activities, it was definitely a great day
4 years and i still fall in tears hearing this, its magical, its perfection, this is so beautiful man.
ryan you are incredible.
I feel this video on a spiritual level
Ommmmm so glad you enjoyed ;)
Thank you so much for this video :) I got chills when you play. Definitely subscribed!
awesome, glad it resonated with you :)
That lonely basement piece you poured out just sounds so beautiful, feels like warm rain dripping from leaves
I love that image, thank you :D
Your playing is marvelous! I especially liked the section which starts around 29:30 and sounds Vulfpeck-esque
I had the same thought when hearing it back! (I might have while playing it, but honestly can't remember.)
Glad to hear you enjoyed it enough to watch the whole thing - thanks for your comment! :D
This man has the funk my god
I've watched this video 5 times now. Originally because I bought Keyscape. Then because I enjoyed watching you get such pleasure from it. Now I have my VPC1 too so I'm watching again. I love it.
I'm tickled to have brought you so much enjoyment! I wish you many transcendent musical experiences with this wonderful keyboard/sound library combo :D
I bought keyscape but all I can play is C's
They're good C's though
aye, GREAT C’s, matey. yarrrrr
tom rabbani Even just a C sounds lush when you're playing Keyscape 🤤
Keyscape? More like C-scape
Nick Aragon I C what you did there
I love your spontaneous playing and insight on Miss Saigon at 12:15. Love the compositions. Great video too btw, love the editing.
Thank you, I’m glad that bit of insight proved worth keeping in there :D I really do love that key change, the concept of letting the melody serve as an anchor for the new key is so seamless and brilliant
Bro you are hilarious. And the keyscape sounds beautiful as usual 👌
yo much appreciated! I’m loving keyscape more and more the more I use it honestly 🔥
I was searching for VPC1 reviews and found this video. Usually can't stand people playing improvisational gibberish... but I was taken aback by how not shallow Your playing is. And the reaction, of course, were marvelous:D Thanks for this video! I didn't expect to stay on this video for longer than a minute, but it surprised me!!!
great improv is all about prioritizing melody! glad you dug it and that I broke your expectations :)
The first part is essentially a reaction vid and honestly the only one I've seen that's thoroughly entertaining. Genuine and naturally funny.
:)
glad you enjoyed. it was definitely genuine, lol!
In a crazy, angry world it is nice to see somebody that is so happy and excited.
that's what I'm here for :D
but don't let the crazy, angry ones fool you! they're just a bit loud is all
12:38 . . . just beautiful. Thanks for the inspired and inspiring playing and honest hilarious heart felt reactions.
I believe you’re the first person to comment on that particular improv :D
glad you enjoyed mon ami
I loved that one too
@@markforrest3040 I missed this reply before - thank you and glad you enjoyed :)
This video pretty much sums up how we all felt about Keyscape, the first time using it😂🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
all I did was channel the Keyscape Hivemind and let it guide my thoughts ;)
Ryan, you are one hell of a musician! I thoroughly enjoyed your presentation.
Bruh ur hella FUNNY and your pianist feeling is OFF the hook 🔥🔥
Much appreciated my dude!
Literally softly weeping and funk in the same video, what a ride
It's a tough job, but someone's gotta do it
Ryan, I think you are awesome!
Lost track of you for a bit (although I have your latest album on my list to listen to); I blame the CZcams-formula ;)
Glad I'm going through my Likes and came back to you again.
Now listening through my (bass-overpowered) Mackey's :)
So great to hear and see you play with such emotion.
I’m glad to hear from you again, fellow Trekkie! (at least I’m assuming, since you referenced the Borg once :D) I hope you enjoy my new stuff. I have a new full-length album on the way in a few months - more prog rock in the vein of The Cave. Thanks for your compliments on my playing here. I look forward to hearing your thoughts on my future music and vids!
Bravo and many thanks for this Nice moment 😀😀
you’re welcome 🙂
Best purchase I ever made! Now, I might need to save up and get the VCP1. Thanks for the video!
cheers, glad you enjoyed! If you're a stickler for keybed feel and range of expression, the VPC1 may well be the only controller that truly satisfies you. That was certainly the case for me; prior to gettin it, I used the Kong Kronos as a controller, and it certainly worked great, but the VPC1 is still a huge step up. (I feel like they should be paying me a commission, lol)
Ryan Yunck Good idea!
The bossman of the keyboard, I've just witnessed exceptional talent and expression. Would you please consider becoming my virtual music teacher during this lock down period?
Cheers and thanks for your comment! Shoot me an email at ryanayunck@gmail.com and fill me in a bit on what areas you're working on musically, maybe we can set something up
Hello! Amazing playing, and I love your reaction! Could you please share with me your velocity curve settings? I have recently got a VPC1 and Keyscapes, and I'm looking for a good velocity curve setting.
i come back to listen to you playing everyday, incredible
"thank you for coming to my TEDtalk" haha
I'm a guitarist but I enjoy listening to people who can play keys! :)
nice to see some other instruments represented here! glad you dug it :D
Nice music playing and nice demo! 🎹 🎶 👍🏽
thank you 🙏
It is gorgeous.
yes indeed
Awesome playing. It's wonderful software, and such a joy to play.
Thanks so much! Yes indeed, it’s a real treat
@@Yunck
I have the software too but could never make such an entertaining video. Well done. Great playing skills. Plus it made me laugh!
@@markdixon1926 Always glad when I manage to cover both bases :D
who on earth would ever dislike such a lovely video?

I'm subscribing. YOU ARE HILARIOUS. And mad on them keys
thanks corey! just subbed to you after checking out “goodnight” - AMAZING stuff 🔥
Ryan Yunck yooooo that means a lot! I just started producing a little over a year ago. Thanks so much for the support!
you have just let me experience what would keyscape sound like in my speakers with the same reactions i would have made. thanks a lot dude! nice vibe :) PS: i´m waiting for the full version of the motorcycle song....
the full version of Motorcycle Rocking can be heard on the official TED Talks website ;)
but in all seriousness, I might actually make a full version. it would be pretty hilarious and it seems that it would have at least one listener
@@Yunck you can count on it.
bro, i just watched the video. I'm so happy for you!!!!!
:)
(that was my genuine reaction, not just me following the instructions contained in your username)
I love that you breath the percussion line, as a bass player of 40 years, I may just add keys to the bag. Cheers
Thank you! It’s all about that subdividing
He’s so me when it comes to his reaction to such things!!!
glad I'm not the only one around here with some proper enthusiasm ;)
This is my dream set!
Thank you for sharing your experience
it was mine, too, for a long time! hope your dream is also fulfilled :)
@@Yunck Thank you I just need to work for it
P.s: I love your channel I didn't see all of your videos but noticed you don't have a video talking about yourself and your musical background I would love to see something in that kind!
Edit: I can't activate the Bell Button its saying that this action is deactivated for Children's content I think with the new CZcams Rules you have to adjust what kind of content you make by manually setting it up in you channel I don't know how you can do it but I would love to receive the newest videos from you.
Could you please look into it?
Abdul Alshibly Strange, thanks for the heads-up - will definitely look into it!
@@abdulalshibly3930 It should be fixed now! I found the setting in my account to say that I don't make children's content, and when I switched to my other account to test it, I was able to activate the notification bell. Let me know if it works for you this time, and thanks again for bringing this issue to my attention :)
@@Yunck Yep worked!
I have had this kawai vpc1 for many years - and every time I have such a reaction to it)))
4 months later, and using it quite a lot the past month or so...I'd say I love it more and more as time goes by :D
(Keyscape certainly hasn't gotten old either!)
8:06.... there were times where we almost drifted into Once Upon A Time in the West, and I swear I almost cried. The patch had a very lonesome voice like you're just floating in space but it was honestly the same in the west. All alone, no civilization, no help, just you and the land; you and nature, and that weight you carry on your back.
So temped to go in on this same setup! Been eyeing it up a long time
DO IIIIIIIITTTTTTT it’s unbelievably epic
This review definitely sold me. I was already saving up for Keyscape and this makes me more and more excited. Also I'm excited about your album that's getting released later this year! Pure talent and I feel really inspired myself too right now. @spectrasonics make this an ad!!!!! I'm sure everybody who has listened to this entire review is already sold. Keep it up. Definitely got my sub! +1
so excited for you to experience Keyscape for the first time! As other commenters have confirmed, you're gonna be at your computer for a loooooong time that day, heheheh. I look forward to getting said album delivered to your ears, and I'll be doing lots more videos on this channel in the meantime :)
@@Yunck Awesome! I'll stay tuned.
@@Yunck Also what's the piece starting at 6:44 called? Amazes me everytime.
hey thanks! that was just an improvisation inspired by the “grand cinematic” patch, so no official name as of yet :)
Ryan Yunck Something in me was *HOPING* you'd say it was an improvisation. It sounds really astonishing. How long have you been playing the piano?
I feel you brother!!! Keys cape is like that!!! You got chops! Reminds me of El Debarge style and his brother Bobby!!
wasn’t familiar with el debarge, had to look it up...clearly I’ve got some catching up to do, but so far I can definitely say...I Like It 😎
Yo, the cinematic piano put me to tears
Same (as you could probably tell)
Great review
thanks for watching :)
What a massive pianist you are
is the pun here intentional? lol
the electric pianos in Keyscape are amazing
indeed :)
Worth every penny! I use it for live playing. Those EPs and Rhodes 😱
if I ever get back into using mainstage, I'll be ALL OVER IT. I'm with you re the EPs, holy cow. The LA Custom with lots of chorus? WHEW LAD
that VPC1 controller looks really cool!
2SlowMusic indeed, the nice slick, black look is part of the appeal! It's also really cool to play, of course
just upgraded my omnisphere looking forward to using some of these pianos what an amazing sound well worth the download even though it was 180 gig
you’re gonna love it, wishing you many exciting musical hours my man
lmao, this is great! This is about how I reacted to getting Keyscape, but I suck at piano lolol
sucking is the first step to getting good!
I own a VPC1 with a lot of libraries and it's just amazing. The action is just insane...
yeah, I’ve been be really pleased with it. Love the look and simplicity too, and the fact that I can easily stack another keyboard on top. (I often put a synth on there to use for pitch/mod wheels and light action stuff)
What other libraries are you using?
@@Yunck I do too, lol. I put a Deepmind 12 on top and still have space to put other equipment...
the stars wars edit was amazing.
Haha thank you, I'm glad that moment has gotten some recognition XD
Building my recording/screenwriting studio.
I was for a very long time was thinking of the midi controller "Keylab 88" with my sound library from Spitfire Audio, for film composing & my Gospel song album projects. Now I am sold on the Kawai VPC1. Thank you so much!
Sounds soooo gooood
I know, right?? Truly an epic force of a software instrument. BTW, is there a story behind your username? made me chuckle
Ryan Yunck The story goes as follows.
I like yoshi and tea
yoshi_drinks_tea MIND = B L O W N lol
No doubt the Kawai is the Rolls Royce of MIDI keyboards, its got wooden keys for heaven's sake! But I am very happy with my cheapo Roland FP-10 which I use as a MIDI controller. It feels very close to my old Yamaha CP60M, which is a real piano, real wooden keys, and hammers of course.
KILLER!
:)
10:03 - 10:24 Looooooollllllll. Generally I don't like "unpacking" and "hand- on" videos, because it is all about beiing obsessed by buying products, however it is always a joy to see someone overflooded with childlike happiness. And after all, you seem to make very good use of the "product" - So hope you still have fun with VPC1 and keyscape :-)
I later realized that "Keyscape" is not only an anagram of "Key space" (because you use it fill the space), but also of "cape Keys" (because it sounds heroically good)
I am most certainly still loving the heck out of the VPC1 and Keyscape! Being stuck at home due to the pandemic, I've been immersed in working on an album, and they're been wonderful companions in that process. Cheers and thanks for your comment :D
beautifully played! im actually pleasantly surprised how the low end sounds wow. Would you say this is the best digital (library) Piano you tried ?
thanks :D
It’s definitely the best I’ve tried, though I’m not necessarily an expert in that regard since I haven’t tried very many. I’ve used Logic’s built-in ones, the ones in the Korg Kronos, and the ones in Native Instruments Komplete 10. The Native Instruments ones were previously my favorite but the Keyscape C7 is definitely at a whole other level. I also have to say that the Wing Upright is pretty fantastic too; I love The Giant, but the Wing Upright can actually serve a similar function in a production as well as a whole range of more intimate or even honky-rink type sounds
cant wait to buy this...I demoed it and was blown away!!
keyscape, or the vpc1? (or both? lol)
@@Yunck hahahaha KeyScape I have one installed in a system I bought but realized that if my computer crashes I will have a serious problem. I use it in 80 percent of my songs
I’d say that’s been the case for me as well! Actually...probably more like 90% for me 😂
@@Yunck Spectrasonics saved us from synthetic sounding keys hahaha...without fail Trilian(bought it last year) took my basses to high grade level...Keyscape sealed the deal!! I cant live without them both...also love omnisphere
mutsonga mchangani I haven’t checked out Trillian yet, one o’ these days I will
Dude how many genres can you play, it's actually insane... pfff compliments man
Thanks bud! If I have a secret, it's that I don't really believe in genre. When it comes down to it, music is music, ya know? The only limits and boundaries are the ones we create with our minds.
@@Yunck Well put man I agree, music is music indeed, but I'm still impressed on how much you can play ;)
@@manuman84 😄🙏
This is the best review of Keyscape. So I'm guessing Spectrasonics has made you an offer to do an ad for them... :)
Not yet...I'd like to think it's just a matter of time at this point ;)
Hello! How did you manage to get a velocity curve to get zero sound? I have a Nord piano 2 and for now even the lightest of pressures gives me a sound anyway. Great playing bravo!
I didn’t use any fancy tricks or sorcery, just tweaked the velocity curve in keyscape and saved a custom setting that responds in the way I like. The Nord might not have enough velocity range to cover both the softest and loudest possible velocity signals. I would still suggest experimenting with keyscape’s velocity settings though, you could consider creating a separate preset for softer playing, for instance
That`s due to Nords keybed. Nothing else.
You’re playing is incredible. How’d you learn? Trying to transition from 15+ years on guitar, no theory. Any advice on would be great. I asked someone recently and they said to just learn the scales
I have issues with the sustain...
When i play piano with sustain pedal the sound of following same keyscape notes i played is quickly "flangy" or "phasy" is it normal ?
Not sure if I'm hearing what you mean, but it might have to do with the level you have set on the "pedal noise" setting in the "performance" section. I would at least start with that and see if it helps
ryan you made me smile in jan 2022
Amazing that vpc1 is 8 years old still the best midi action in 2020
Amazing, but perhaps a bit disappointing. In a way I guess it makes sense that truly realistic piano-style action is less and less of a priority for controllers.
Dude i feel you soo hard
anyone who’s used keyscape can relate :D
Omg the star wars laugh @3:00 gave me life
Yessss I'm so glad that little edit is getting some love! As soon as I realized that I'd inadvertently laughed the opening notes of that melody, I just HAD to get the rest in there XD
I love the bright boy sound...so sweet...bright boy
indeed; if you’re a bright boy, and you need a bright sound, it’s just the bright boy sound for you! should also clarify, it works equally well if you’re a bright girl who needs a bright sound, or a bright non-binary person who needs a bright non-binary person sound
@@Yunck shout out to all of the bright people out there 🤣🤣🤣
@@banihafidhandrayu9145 it’s truly amazing to live in an age where there are bright sounds for all the bright people

Hi Ryan, thanks for uploading this video. I considered getting the VPC1 for myself but Spectrasonics told me, that the Roland A88 (the keyboard you see in most of their videos) works better with Keyscape. So I bought the A88 but I'm not very happy with the key action. :(
Have you had any problems or sound glitches using the VPC1?
Greetings from Germany
Hi Jan, greetings from Michigan in the US. I definitely haven’t had any problems or glitches using the VPC1 with Keyscape; it continues to work as smoothly as shown in this video. I remember reading that Spectrasonics used the A88 when programming Keyscape, so it makes sense that it would be their recommendation for controlling it, but I think there’s still a lot of personal preference that factors for any given player. If you don’t prefer the A88 action and are drawn to the VPC1, I imagine it would work as well for you as it has for me. BTW, if you do end up getting a VPC1, send me a direct message on Instagram, and I’ll provide a picture of my custom velocity curve setting :)
Hey Ryan, could you share your velocity curve presets? I've been looking at this exact setup for a while, but after trying it in-store, I wasn't completely convinced since I couldn't get those brawling loud sounds out of it
I've gotten this request enough times that I'm starting to think I should find a way to include in the description, haha!
Send me a DM on Instagram and I'll reply w/ a picture of the custom velocity curve preset I've been using :)
Believe it or not, my reaction was the same when I first played it!
anyone who claims otherwise is lying
I never thought a midi controller review could possibly have orgasm moments, but boy I liked it!!! Very entertaining!
the world is full of surprises :)
to be fair, keyscape was probably the larger contributor of orgasm moments. but both had their role.
thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed!
@@Yunck It is indeed! I too love Keyscape. The acoustic piano is good but generally I use it for everything else. Not too many libraries shine in that vintage keys category. How do you like the VPC1 though? You don't seem to be nearly as excited! I'm interested to know how it performs for advanced piano repertoire.
@In The Mix Not that the VPC1 wasn’t also thrilling, but the constant influx of epic new tones from keyscape was simply providing a lot more excitement in the moment. I have really enjoyed the VPC1; I’ve recorded a lot of improvs on it (those are in a playlist on my channel if you’re curious) and used it for a ton of production work in March and April in particular. It’s been fantastic for that. I have to be honest and say that the action isn’t quite at the level of my Steinway grand, but that’s obviously a pretty lofty standard ;) I haven’t really used the VPC1 for any advanced piano repertoire per se so I can’t necessarily comment on that, though some of my improv and production stuff has been on the trickier side and it’s certainly been up to the task
@@Yunck Thanks a lot. That's the type of insight I'm looking for. Glad you've had a lot of personal use so far. The VPC1 sounds better and better. I'll definitely look up your improv list. Thanks again!
Not gonna lie I almost came on that first chord with the Grand Cinematic. I want this software so bad.
I was right there with you, as evidenced by my...er...*expressive* reactions XD
My boy def blew one in his jeans on a couple of them patches 😂
As I watched both videos - nice - the question still is, what part of the experience was VPC-1 and its grand-mimicking action and what part was Keyscape? And what was the verdict here?
Im SOLD, ordering immediately lol
prepare to not leave your computer for hours on end 😉 (you meant keyscape right?)
OMG someone hat the Same Idea That I Had. So Glad to know That im Not the only Person Crazy enough to do this
Which idea do you mean? Thanks for watching and commenting :)
@@Yunck getting a vpc1 + keyscape. Do you have any recommandations for velocity settings for the C7?
Here's the velocity setting I've been using: left slider at 0.270, right slider 0.817, curve adjustment thingy in the bottom right quadrant, about a third of the way right and a third of the way down from center. If you want a picture of my settings, send me a message on Instagram (ryanyunck)
That being said, I do recommend playing around with your own settings and seeing what works for you. The approach I had good results with was to mostly focus on getting the extremes exact: tweaking it until it felt like a light touch was giving me the kind of softness I expected, and I could really dig in and get loud in a way that felt right.
Cheers and happy playing
Awesome video! I have Keyscape and VPC1 too and they are awesome 👍 the two things I don’t really enjoy about keyscape pianos are the very high frequency noise on note release (on softer patches) and a pretty unnatural decay when you quickly play something like staccatissimo. Other than that it’s fantastic! Nice playing 💪
must have missed this comment before, much appreciated my dude 🙏
That high frequency release noise hasn’t jumped out at me yet, I’ll be sure to listen for it next time I use these sounds (I have a feeling it’ll be one of those “once you hear it you can’t un-hear it” type deals lol)
Randomly got CZcams notification for it, lol
The CZcams Overmind knows exactly what you’re thinking at all times, its directions are never random ;)
Funny finding your video, I'm actually looking at controllers that would get the most out of Keyscape and came across your video. I'm scared to invest in the VCP1 without trying it.. and that high price point. They modeled the Keyscape sounds using the Roland A-88. I wonder if the Roland A-88 mkii would do the trick and waiting for it to come out. Hmm.. Thanks for your video!
I've used the VPC1 quite a lot these past few months, and I absolutely LOVE it. The enthusiasm on display in this video has certainly not faded. It genuinely is everything I hoped for. That being said, I am extremely picky about keyboard action, feel, dynamic range, etc. Still, if you have the budget for it, I highly recommend taking the VPC1 leap of faith :)
@GenePaulBand I felt the same way before I purchased my VPC1. I was concerned about the key action and feel. I managed to find a VPC1 and a Kawai MP-11SE side by side in a local music store in Maryland (JOY!!). I was able to A/B them (at least the feel, action and responsiveness). I must say that the MP11SE felt a little better to me, but only slightly. It has a different action. The VPC 1 has a wonderful piano action, if that's what you're looking for. But every pianist/keyboard player has different tastes when it comes to feel and action.
Great video! What velocity curve setting do you use?
Ryan, first off you're piano playing is F*%#in amazing. The sounds out of Keyscape is wonderful I see why you were getting emotional. I just have one question: how is the keybed action is it noisy or a bit quieter, because that's the biggest gripe I have with these 88 hammer action key beds. Either they do this thumping sound that hammers into your brain when playing quietly, or it does this clicking clacking sounds, for better lack of words. Piano Man Chuck says that it is the quietest he has ever heard. I'd be interested in hearing your opinion on this. Thank You
much appreciated! certainly no complaints about keybed noise here. Honestly I really only use it with plenty of sound coming from the monitors anyways, so I’m probably not much of a judge here lol
I'v got keyscape... i love it... but i just can't seem to decide upon a suitable controller, let alone pull the trigger and buy one! Cant decide between VPC1, Roland RD2000, Yamaha CP88, Kawai MP11se. I think i prefer playing EP's than AP's which confuses matters even further! Any suggestion / comments welcomed!
What did you decide? I feel like vpc , rd 2000 and mp11se deserve successor at this point.
your my new favourite person
why thank you, this is my new favorite comment :D
How does your playing remain so stable during the Grand Wash playing, I'm so confused
Do you mean like how does the sound stay stable despite the CPU load, or like how do I keep my own playing stable despite being emotionally overwhelmed?
lmao, this was amazing reaction! hilarious! on serious note, in your DAW what is the overall latency you have when you use keyscape?
Happy birthday Ryan, so happy for you...
Hey, I tried Keyscape, on my Casio AP470... It does not sound anywhere near as good... There is a continuous hiss, airy noise when I press the keys, and it becomes magnified if I press the sustain pedal... Any idea what might be going on? My Casio model is not on the preset list, and I am far less technical than being able to adjust it manually...
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Congrats man...
Hey Seif, I've never come across the issue you're describing, but I would recommend troubleshooting as much as you can: eg, mess around with every possible setting in Keyscape, turning every knob to its lowest and highest settings and paying close attention to what effect it has. The more work you do to isolate the issue, the easier of a time you'll have fixing it. Based on your description, it sounds like it could be an issue with the pedal settings (there are are some for pedal noise and resonance, if I'm remembering correctly), so I would start there and see what you can do. Also, not sure what DAW you're using, but Logic has a click-and-play keyboard you can call up; if you have something like that, it would allow you to test how Keyscape is sounding on your system with a different controller. My feeling, though, is that it's most likely not an issue with that Casio keyboard - as long as it's only plugged in via USB and not audio, there shouldn't be a way for it to introduce any noise.
Ryan Yunck Thank you so much. I will try playing with the knobs and see...
Way to cast that C7 into the canyon of reverb.
is this directed at me, or the people who programmed the presets I’m playing? lol
Hello Ryan! I live in small town and we don't have normal music shop, i choose beetwen kawai vpc-1 and roland rd 2000, did you try it?!
I have only used the VPC1 out of those two. My question regarding the Roland would be - do you have any particular need for something with onboard sounds? That's the only reason I would opt for the Roland personally; otherwise, I would just go for the VPC1. Although, maybe you need the wheels and sliders and whatnot? Still, if that were the case, you could buy the VPC1, plus a semi-weighted controller to put on top of it, and still spend less overall than you would have on the Roland. My two cents :)
So nice playing ) Can't remember the tune at 0:45. Is it some game theme? It's just stuck in my head and I can't throw it away.
Haha, I think it was just what that awful sine wave sound inspired me to make up in that moment - a jaunty march-style bassline, but with a whole tone scale walkup XD
Do you still have your VPC1? Have you tried any other VSTs like Noire yet?
Is there a velocity curve preset on keyscape for the vpc1?
Not that I'm aware of, but I made a custom one that's been working really well for me. Send me a DM on Instagram and I'll pass along a screencap of my settings
@@Yunck could you send me your VPC-1 velocity settings for Keys?
@@Yunck Hello I've send you a DM on instagram, if you could help me for the velocity curve. Your video actually made me brought the Kawai VPC1 and Keyscape haha :)
@@lancelotmura5056 just sent you a reply :D
What speakers do you use? Lots of electronic instruments can put amazing signals into one end of a wire. Pulling that signal out of the other end of the other end of the wire and making it sound proper is something else altogether.

Hey Ryan :), have you tried a Kawai MP11SE before? I'm looking at a bunch of piano's atm. I liked the look of the vpc1 however I think I'd like something with its own piano sound. I would still like to use something like keyscape as a VST. But just for practice at night I'd like to simply turn it on and play. Any recommendations if not? :) Cheers
I believe I played one once and was impressed. I'm sure it would work great, but I do wonder if you might be able to find some other option that would give you the ability to quickly turn on and play, without having to spend so much extra. You could, eg, look into some kind of setup using the VPC1 with an iPad if you have one. There are also MIDI Piano Modules you could look into using for that purpose.
@@Yunck Thank you for the reply, I've talked with my dad about it and I'm happy to get the MP11SE, I really want to get more involved with my music and so imma go headfirst lmao. Your reply mentioned a sound module, could you give a small description of what that does? I looked them up but couldnt seem to find what their function would be... cheers :)
I was playing around with james blake; retrograde just learning by ear and realized I have never played n that key before, had quite a lot of fun. Its G A Bb C D Eb F# G (I think). Do you know what type of scale that is? I've been trying to use knew scales recently. I mainly play A minor pentatonic or the relative to that and add in the (g#) and the f natural and b natural, and use jazz kind of voicings.So its very simple as you cant really play anything wrong haha.
I very also play a lot of d major (b minor) and F# major. But they feel too familiar so I go into auto pilot alot when im playing. Finding new scales/voicings means I have to think about what I'm doing, so its more enjoyable making new sounds.
I want to learn all 12 maor/minor keys and other bookie sounding scales, but I think imma go 1 at a time and get really comfortable doing impro in each, because If I were to only focus on all the scale I think it'd get boring and feel like a chore... idk sorry about the rambling lmao
I want a VPC1 so badly lol
28:17 So much joy! lol
yeah I thought that sound was passable I guess 😆
this is hilarious dude. Im not even a true player but want it LOL
What level of ability or experience constitutes a "true player"? If you ask me, if you play, you're a true player. There's always further to go, and no level of ability is invalid. I realize your comment wasn't meant to be super serious or anything, but I think the labels we use to describe ourselves/the things we do carry a lot more weight than we tend to realize, and it's something I'm passionate about as a creator and someone who wants to encourage others to create :)
@@Yunck i can appreciate that. the way I play is off chord charts and make it sound how I like. Thanks again for fun content. what is the best way to use this program in a live stage environment? Some laptops make noise through the system because of bad power supplies.
using an audio interface rather than plugging into the headphone or speaker port is the way to go
@@Yunck thank you.
