What a great video on the main settings and microphones of the 275, especialy for for someone like me who is new to the hole VST thing. Much much appreciated.
Thank you Ron, please be my guest throughout my video library. I need to do some curation to help folks like you find the things they are looking for, but until than, Im just going to keep releasing content,
Yay! Another Ravenworks user! Andrew and Michael are amazing at what they do. I’ve got their other custom Ravenworks Digital, in a piano black gloss and gold Art Deco styling. The absolute best keyboard. The upgrades Andrew and Michael do to the keyboard make it a completely different instrument compared to the VPC1. Well worth the investment. Great video!
@@thejacevekexperience love the color of yours too!! They are gorgeous. I checked their website recently though and it looks like it’s not up anymore. Did they stop doing the Ravenworks upgrades?
@@akiyamamusic So in a recent email with Michael Spreeman, he went into great detail about the tremendous amount of precision work and cost that goes into the creation of these modified Kawaii VPC ones, into the custom edition ravenworks keyboards that you and I are lucky to have. Between the time of craftsmanship and the materials that go into the inside of them, challenge further by industry standards thar restrict the usage of certain metals, They’ve decided to stick with their models that are in the inventory for now. It’s just so exciting to see what they’re building in Arizona, and the legacy This is become of craftsmanship, artisanship, And service artistic professionals - for which Michael and Andrew share a passion that stays centerpiece in everything they do…
Ravenscroft was my first VST piano....and I use the Kawai VPC1.... I was not impressed with Ravenscroft. Don't know why. I also don't really like Garritan CFX either. I settled on Pianoteq. I enjoy the tweakability of it and the continuing updates Modarrt puts out to make it better. The small footprint of the software around 50mb. I use two sound sources...4 speakers...and pianoteq allows me to assign room mics to the speakers behind me...which I love.
@daylespenzer feel you. Truthfully dayle it’s such a situational thing…. The material… the purpose… the function. And truthfully , “the feel “. Some of the stuff I do, this piano wouldn’t fit- but where it does, it’s very much a great thing.
@@maulcs Try it again....I know that when I first found the pianoteq demo...something was telling me it was cheap...just because they were allowing such a good demo for free. It's a psychological thing ...I believe.
Hi Robert, No Adsr? Or full on off sustain? No mid range sustain? The keyboard is a controller, the functions of Adsr and sustain are dependent on the vst instrument plug-in being used... so yes in that regard, it’s fully capable of all those things
@@robertsteinberger5667 well for full transparency I am quite unfamiliar with the iOS version... but I can tell you Michael spreeman (founder) takes his work with serious passion, that being said I would expect quality. However, that being said, in theory “sustain” just like any other cc control in a daw is an automatable parameter. I couldn’t imagine piano without some sustain unless of course the music called for that .

I played that keyboard you’ve acquired at their shop- it was a magical place :). Congratulations to you

@@thejacevekexperience I play using "Chord AI" app on android...play along with CZcams or MP3 files downloaded from CZcams.
@@zumadale sounds fun
Pianoteq is rough - I'd never be satisfied with it personally, at least for classical.
@@maulcs Try it again....I know that when I first found the pianoteq demo...something was telling me it was cheap...just because they were allowing such a good demo for free. It's a psychological thing ...I believe.
A lot of options but no adsr? or just full sustain control? Probably on with sustain is too much and off is too little or is it playable?

@@thejacevekexperience i am thinking of getting the ios version. So lack of sustain pedal is no problem for Ravenscroft?
