Just picked this up and upgraded my Omnisphere 1 to ver 2.5 and couldn't be more pleased. I tried this out at the 2019 NAMM show and was sold on it. Nice video and good audio samples/playing - Thanks
@@grim8391 For sure! It is very different though. The dynamics are so deep, And the sound is very balanced. I've been using Nexus and serum for so long, that when I'm using Spectrasonics I'm having to manage all of the low in frequencies coming from it. The instruments put out so much more sound than a lot of standard VST's, But it's natural and very mid bassey too. Keyscape is really easy to use and there's basically no learning curve.. I found that Omnisphere Does take a little bit of practice but not too much. It feels like I own a bunch of hardware synth xD
Actually, Steinway is the most recorded grand piano in modern music. The C7 came on the scene in the 80s. Yamaha enlisted top players to play the C7, but some thought the sound was too thin in comparison to the Steinway.
I was in love with Keyscape since I saw a trailer for it and I want to get my hands on it one day when I'll get myself a better PC for producing music, and most importantly, one with waaaay more space on my hard drives. As of now, I use Addictive Keys and for a smaller library, it still does it's job pretty good, even if it has way less instruments sampled.
Kacepru use whatever works! I own lounge lizard ep-4, which is $99, and I still think it’s a great plugin, even though it’s older and there are better things. In a multi-track song, it’s sometimes impossible to tell the difference. Or at least it’s negligible. Thanks for watching.
Not so easily i'm awed by sounds, but these one really hit me (even the modern rolqnd ep sounds!). You seem to have a really good sense of the style these fit in also but, man... this one is on my "got to have this" list. Mind you, i'm a guitarist! 🤗Thanks for the demo!!
Your most amazing video ever is "Nord Electro 5D Demo & Review" I'm watching it over and over again for months now I think you will never beat that video What I'm really missing from this video is that you didn't show us what notes are being played I'm trying to copy your style for months now you are an amazing player no matter if it's just a "'piano" or it's an "Organ" "Funky Clavinet" anything you are killing all of the instruments so cool to hear you play on the fly.
Excellent overview of the Spectrasonics Keyscape Library, thanks so very much. Your level of musicianship is most evident as well, offering us great tidbits of musical styles relevant to the various keyboard instruments that are contained within this library. Eric Persing/Spectrasonics have "hit the ball outta the park!" again, with Keyscape!
When you first said, there's lots of reviews out there, so why this one - well, that's sort of what you said - I agreed. But it's Keyscape, so I'll listen. I really enjoyed your review very much. Thank you. I liked your comments and you gave us some short clips of tasty playing. The only thing I'll add - and, of course, it's now a couple years later, so you may now know - the clavichord. Not a novelty instrument. Think of it as a "pre-piano" used in renaissance and baroque times. I think if you place in its historical context, you can begin to appreciate its sound more.
Bought it about 2 months ago and it's incredible. At about the same time I purchased a Yamaha DGX-660 piano and even with the immense voice library of the Yamaha, I find myself using it mostly as a controller for Keyscape . The feel and sound are incredible when I play the LA Custom C7 (Rock is my favorite) setting.
Thank you for video and your opinion! My best Rhodes: 1) VTines MK1 from acousticsamples (also Wurlitzer and Organ from this company) 2) LA Rhodes from Keyscape 3) The Canterbury Suitcase 88 My Best Pianos: 1) Garritan CFX Concert Grand 2) Pearl Concert Grand Yamaha C7 (perfect for ballad stuff, CLOSE - have a lot of characters - Just incredible) Best Electric Grand - CP70 from KEYSCAPE
You are an amazing pianist, truly a great showcase of the program. I really would get alot of use out of it composing and such. Sadly I just do not have the funds :/
fyi vintage vibes is the #1 restorator of electric pianos and even made there own rhodes and the hohners called a pianet not planet been lucky enough to play the real pianet n so warm and cool it's what king crimson and genssis were using in 71-72
What kbd controller are you using on this demo? [You have the touch]. How to link Omnisphere & Keyscape together? Please make these sounds popular again. You have the power within you to do this. The essence of your spirit shines thru! Thank you!
Nice review! I really want to buy Keyscape in the near future as well since I'm just starting playing keyboard. What is that melody you played at 10:57 btw? Sound so amazing. Keep up the work
Monta I don’t know. Something my hands just started playing. I’m not in control anymore. Haha. It does remind me of “Don’t Stop Believing”, though. Thanks for watching.
It 2020 and am just getting serious with using VST’s instead of only hardware boards. I too was underwhelmed when playing the C7. I am still tweaking things but the velocity curve for my Nord Piano 3 was terrible. I am creating some velocity presets that sound better. Did you have to tweak anything in your DAW to make it sound better? I am only on the standalone. Thanks
Better late than never. This was the most inciteful review of Keyscape that I have heard. I really enjoyed how your playing adapted to each sample as well as your personal opinion of those you liked and didn't like. Thanks for doing this.
you seem to get a decent amount of expression out of your playing. What midi keyboard do you use? The velocity on mine is not very consistent so i can play as dynamically as you were here. Weighted or semi weighted keys?
I have two keyboards. A Nord Stage 3 compact (semi-weighed), which I used for the video; and a Kawai VPC1, which I generally use for piano. The Nord feels okay. It’s not the greatest feeling keyboard I’ve ever used.
Is there forte samples as well? Cause it's seems that the high velocities are limited and dont go up as you push it harder... I hope it wouldn't be like that...
Good question. I think I remember him saying something like "... it didn't have that many synthesizer sounds." Maybe that's why he didn't love it at first. Would be interesting to learn why he grew to love it; what specifically changed his mind.
Great video!! I had one question.Are you using any additional effects from DAW above the patched sound?Your own patches sounds incredible!! As It doesn't have the ADSR in built.How are you able to get such a smooth release?I once tested it in one of my frien'd PCr but didn't like as there was no ADSR control.It will be really great if you can explain a bit.Thanks again for such a great demo.
keeping mind the mk80 /JD800 sound are not popular because it s needs to be played by some who can actually play a keyboard ..... The me generation/producer are not keyboard players
I'm actually shocked that Keyscape only has 3 acoustic pianos (granted, there are a bunch of different presets for these 3, but still....). Only one model of acoustic grand piano?!?! Logic has more stock acoustic pianos, smh. Well, I guess maybe it's a bit more oriented toward electronic keyboards and that's why it's Key-scape and not Piano-scape
Fola the ProVerbalizer yeah, I wish they had a CFX, Steinway D, Fazioli, and Bösendorder Imperial, but the library is massive as it is. Maybe in a future update?
@@hifimidi and 0 organs...hmmm. The actual number of models is not that big...I literally went through all of them this evening (without testing all the different presets for each model, which often make a huge difference in the sound), but at least I have a good map in my head about what sounds are available to produce with now. Wonder how long it will take me to do that with Omnisphere, lol
You do not need Kontakt. It is its own host software. It works standalone and within your DAW. It requires more than 8GB of RAM, but it's not heavy on CPU at all.
Great playing with this great Keyscape software! Wich DAW are you using and wich soundcard/module to bring this sound to life. Do you have latency issues...?
hi, really like your videos. One thing I've found with Keyscape is the mic positions seem too close on many of the patches. Playing solo sounds great, but in song arrangements I find I want the piano to have a bit of distance from the mics... any thoughts??
Keyscape's Grand piano's sound nice, but I think Native Instruments Noire sounds even better if you're looking for a very beautiful yamaha grand piano.. buy Keyscape if you're looking for other instruments than a Grand piano as well..
The blue Rhodes is where it’s at. Worth it for just that alone
Vintage vibe is my favourite out of the Rhodes
0:55 I had to keep rewinding to see if I heard that right, lol
lol
MEE TOOOOO!!. I was half sleep watching this and that line woke me the fuck up lol
childrens can eat everything....NO PROBLEM!!!
The violent panning of the Rhodes makes me feel like my head's spinning.
I'VE JUST ORDERED MINE!! Nice demonstration by someone who actually bought it themselves & lived with it before rating it. Cheers mate!!
After entering the Vintage Digital Keys I got such a David Foster vibe
I am a chinese student,like music.and I love your video very much.I can learn many things from your video,thanks.
Possibly the best video about Keyscape presets I have ever heard on CZcams. Fantastic Player. Thank you
Just picked this up and upgraded my Omnisphere 1 to ver 2.5 and couldn't be more pleased. I tried this out at the 2019 NAMM show and was sold on it. Nice video and good audio samples/playing - Thanks
“I’m sorry I love Christmas” this one got me 😂
Oh yea just starve the kids for something you could just save for.
Me too.....especially in August! :)
I think that you convinced me to buy this, just for the sounds of the pianoes and the vintage keyboards.
Dude I'm not even a piano /keyboard player and I want thiis! The sounds make you write music....Yo!!
I need this, I wanna play those sweet 70s and 80s r&b sounds
I dropped a grand on Omnisphere and Keyscape and I will never regret it!
Joseph Creed nice bro. Definitely has to be a game changer. I’m about to do the same soon

I bought Omnisphere - I'm drooling over this now.... uggggg
That makes it a Grand Piano...
I ended up buying it... It's pretty amazing...
Actually, Steinway is the most recorded grand piano in modern music. The C7 came on the scene in the 80s. Yamaha enlisted top players to play the C7, but some thought the sound was too thin in comparison to the Steinway.
Love the CP70, thats the one which Tony Banks always used, amazing!
Ur a nice keyboardist/ pianist !!!
Please make some chord progression video !!! Trust me , it will be viral on CZcams.. much love musically
He did it
So loved listening to this. I have Omnisphere and upon your recommendation shall now be buying this. Thanks for a great demo!
Impressive piano library. You're skilled which helps a lot to appreciate that software. Nice video.
I am a music producer (beginner) from Cambodia . love your video. keep it up man :)
This is so perfect makes me feel good to hear that quality

U are 1 heck of a pianist for real the chords u play are insanely mind blowing great work 🙏🏽

Excellent review, keyscape is full of some truly momentous sounds.
so far, best keyscape review i saw, thank you for sharing Music and happiness
Love and appreciate you, hifimidi! Thanks for your reviews and beautiful playing.
Now this is a quality set of sounds!
those LA Custom Rhodes is the main reason i want this so bad
Great review! I loved your video, because it really shows the possibilities of the library, as well as how it is organized. Thumbs up!
Thank you for video and your opinion!

Hi, I like your reviews for Quote a while but with this Video I also got. to appreciate what a good keyboardplayer you are on top
Thank you! That’s kind of you to say.
All amazing and have their place. I enjoyed it as much as you did.
Thanks.
You are an amazing pianist, truly a great showcase of the program. I really would get alot of use out of it composing and such. Sadly I just do not have the funds :/
The piano and the digital keys are outstanding...and they do sound better than the origonals to me
fyi vintage vibes is the #1 restorator of electric pianos and even made there own rhodes and the hohners called a pianet not planet been lucky enough to play the real pianet n so warm and cool it's what king crimson and genssis were using in 71-72
4:42 wow, beautiful.
The best keyboard vst ever..Like analog..
11:41 That sounds so good! It has such a cute warm tone to it. If only I could afford this 🗿
Best believe I'm saving up for this
Nice video. Thanks for putting it together. No need to apologize so much!
What kbd controller are you using on this demo? [You have the touch]. How to link Omnisphere & Keyscape together? Please make these sounds popular again. You have the power within you to do this. The essence of your spirit shines thru! Thank you!
Pianos sound so real, it's amazing.
When i get my hand on this software i will be complete.
saya menunggu cukup lama untuk melihat anda meriview Vst ini. saya penggemar anda dari Papua-Indonesia
Spectrasonics obviously jumped the guy and told him to make a video or they’d smoke him😂
It's the best because of Shaun Martin, Cory Henry and Greg Philinganes. Period.
The origin of these samples were in existence before these guys bro lol.
"I'm sorry I love Christmas"
don't you dare apologize
Love love love your playing and demo! ❤️
Wish I could buy keyscape.
Hi dear, hows going? i got this library Do u want this library?
@@classicalgig1647 yes baby!
@@YoungBlaze i have got few other library also...with huge discount , let me know if u r interested!
yo ho ho and a bottle of rum

You would be quite complete with Keyscape + Omnisphere - if only either of those had usable Hammond samples.
08:50 Chords anyone? Awesome vid!
Very nice, but I don’t think I’d use anything regularly other than the acoustic and electric grands. So not worth 400 dollars for me.
Better late than never. This was the most inciteful review of Keyscape that I have heard. I really enjoyed how your playing adapted to each sample as well as your personal opinion of those you liked and didn't like. Thanks for doing this.
Great review, man. What specific song were you playing from A Beautiful Mind, on the Cinematic preset? I didn't think the soundtrack had just piano.
I was playing the chords to All Love Can Be.
Just amazing, amazing sounds. I believe that that JD800 Crystal Rhodes is, for me, probably worth the price of the whole library!
You are a cool guy. U got a nice pallet of playing ability’s👍

Ah, one of the key elements is to have a good soundmodule, and thats what you have! Thanks!
