Well, it's basically a physical modeling piano....

Lol... they always used to say how digital pianos are really expressive and now they are telling us that digital sampled pianos "meet their limits" :redface:

What happened to the time, when all you needed was 1 acoustic piano... jeez...


Nevertheless, it's quite impressive... And it would be also cool, if it would include physical modeling electric piano... why not? It looks like one...

A gate valve (http://www.yonglongvalve.com/), is a valve that opens by lifting a round or rectangular gate/wedge out of the path of the fluid.
????? That was random:confused:


Anyway, seems pretty cool, but I think I'll stick with acoustic instruments for now:cool:

In case you haven't noticed, this forum is overrun by spammers. :redface:

Yeah, from now on, I'm investing only in analog equipment... piano emulations? Get a VST for gods sake...

I guess I'll have to hear the "never-before-head futuristic hybrids" before saying I'd still get a Nord Electro 3 before this. :tongue:

bleh i'll stick to my akoustik :biggrin:

Well I've been wondering when somebody would come up with this. But if it's probably going to be a lot more expensive than sampled piano's then I don't think it's worth it.

I don't care about freaky hybrid piano's, I just want a realistic contemporary tuned piano. But the elimination of velocity switching is very cool. Modelling could be the future, since sampled pianos are getting a bit too crazy (http://www.sonicstate.com/news/2009/01/17/wnamm09-the-biggest-virtual-piano-ever/). 120 samples per key? Come on!

I think it's good that Roland are pushing the envelope into physical modelling territory, especially of stuff like pianos where feel is very important - it's probably more my imagination than anything else, but i've always preferred to play a PM'ed piano than a sample set; they just seem to feel more natural to me.

Regardless of this, it'd be nice to see physical modelling take off in a big way with support from the majors - getting kinda bored with subtractive synthesis.
