  • We are big fans of Kiefer and had a lot of fun showing him Keyscape in a super unique way...triggered from Eric's Custom MIDI'ed Fender Rhodes!
    In this video, Eric shows him how the Fender Rhodes is wired to the laptop which is running Keyscape:
    • Rhodes USB output to Laptop USB
    • Laptop Headphone output to Rhodes Suitcase audio input
    At 2:00 minutes in the video, the audio switches from micing the Rhodes Suitcase speakers to the direct digital output of the laptop...with just the pure sound of Keyscape.
    Keifer is such a sensitive player and it was a joy to hear him audition a variety of sounds from Keyscape. With his recent release of the fantastic “Superbloom” LP, Kiefer is a true force to be reckoned with...check out the record!
    Find out more about Keyscape:

    NOTE: Kiefer is using a custom Fender MIDI'ed Rhodes to play Keyscape in this video, but all but all audio is from Keyscape (except when comparing the actual Rhodes sound to the Rhodes from Keyscape).

    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.

      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.

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!!

    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.

    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.
