Sebastian--just had some time to go and listen to some different things on your site.......
Really dug the pieces recorded in the symphony hall ! Beautiful Rhodes sound and an excellent recording of the whole group--your Nord really shines. You have very cool rhythmic figures going on when setting up those different grooves....very hip sounding. I really liked it.
Excellent arrangement of Spain too! Nice stuff all around, a pleasure listening to it..

This is great. Can you tell me which piano you were using on the Nord, and what the settings were. Reverd / comp / EQ etc. Better still would you be willing to post the setting so that I can upload it. Is that possible with the NP88?
Thanks

Here's part 1 of an example of the Nord Piano 88 in action. This was recorded into PT HD a few weeks ago as part of a year end student project for the composition class at LAMA (LA Music Academy) . They were required to write a melody or "head' on All the things you are.
On this track I think the engineer used an API module taken from an old console at Wally Heider studio to record the piano and Trumpet (Howie Shear). Nothing fancy from the piano, just basic accompaniment with a walking bass in the middle.
This is the Nord Piano 88 with the Bosendorfer XL sample
Part 2 with the a solo in the full group with the Yamaha Bright Grand sample will be coming soon. It's part of a vocal tune that the engineer still has to mix. So should get it sometime next week. But thought I'd post this here as is right now.

Happy New Year to you as well vigankuci and thanks.
I was reading an old thread were I originally posted all of this at the Keyboard Corner/Music player forum and I noticed another older CP5 clip with the S6 sample. I'd never posted that here and thought people might be curious to hear it.
The CP5 S6 has never been a favorite of mine live but here, recorded, it sounds pretty good I think.
Anyway this is an attempt ( ) at a up-tempo Salsa version of the great Kenny Barron tune "Voyage" with the CP-5 drum track.
Here's the second tune from that LAMA (LA Music Academy) session with the Nord Piano.
Again this is for the composition/arranging students at the school. They write out the arrangement and we play it. This was a first take and we had no scratch vocal to play off of.. The vocalist here is one of the students.
I received the file in its entirety like this. When I get a chance I'll edit it down but for the time being if you want to skip the vocal-the comping and Trumpet solo start at 2:00.
The Piano solo comes in around 3:05..
