Not to be a downer in this thread but I have to warn people...I have used the 750 single cycle waveforms and its crap on my original V-synth. V-synth wasn't meant to use single cycle waves. None translated into the high keyboard range. So I cannot use them. Secondly, you don't get any character of ...

I am also a jazz fan for 20+ years and am on Rhodes No.4 atm (a Stage MkII) Here are my answers to your comments. a) no b) not available to GX either c) I hate the SN stuff but I am a big fan of NY Epiano... beautiful chill out rhodes esp when you tweak the MFX knobs a little! Overall the SRX-12 is ...

<t>About the key wear, I think this is largely an internet based myth... (correct me if I'm wrong, but I have not heard Roland ever oficially state this, just some unsubstantiated posts which could have come from anywhere) <br/> <br/> I bought my RD700GX in the first week they were out... v1.03 OS. ...

I saw the GXF last week in London actually... think it was Rose Morris.

<r>Sounds like a good plan <E>;-)</E> <br/> <br/> Mind you the Nord is great too.. I'd be hard pressed to really say which rhodes sound was better on the SV-1 or Stage EX... my main concern was getting it into a car for gigs and the price... as the SV-1 was a lot cheaper than the Stage EX here... i....

oh, I've had tons of keyboards... maybe 50 in all that time, JX10, JX8P, Juno 60, Motifs, EX-5, VL-7, etc... it goes on an on... ;-) I meant I have 14 now... and yes I think I am crazy! The editing of noises on the SV-1 is done by hitting the FUNCTION button and rotating the bass knob to taste... I ...

<t>> SV1 puts too much emphasis on parts of the tines piano typical folks want to hear....after a while it sounds redundant, fake, boring <br/> <br/> <br/> I thought this when I first heard it a year ago.. but a friend informed me that all those fake little noises could be toned down... and I went i...

<r>haha, good on ya mate <E>:-)</E> <br/> <br/> SV-1 is a nice keyboard for gigging with esp in the 73 key version. I actually find having another digital piano sound really nice in the sense that I don't get bored of the RD's sounds so much now... and when I get bored of the Korg I have the RD soun...

and this shows the acoustic piano sound...

The sound this time is direct to the mixer...

<r>Hang about KPro81, weren't you the guy who said he was happy with the SN Rhodes and offered lots of settings here on the forum? ;0) <br/> <br/> Well glad you share the common consensus that no amount of tweaking really helps those sounds really... <E>:-)</E> <br/> <br/> Anyway, I also have had th...

<r>Difficult to say because the RD1000 had many different piano tones (at least 3 distinctly different acoustic piano sounds which were customisable to some degree). <br/> <br/> The E Grand preset mixed with a little of the Ultimate might get you some way..... I use this to do a kind of pseudo CP70....

Not sure it is... the GX worked perfectly with my iMac before the update...

<t>Hi, <br/> <br/> I'm using the new GX piano expansion board with my 27" iMac and I find that the RD doesn't start properly if the USB is hooked up to my iMac. If I disconnect and retry it works... <br/> <br/> But its a pain, surely I should be able to just turn on my RD with USB connected to iMac/...

Very true about an editor.. AFAIK at the moment you cannot make different patches which use the same set of samples e.g. different variations of Jupiter Pad for instance..... it would be nice to have the ability to overwrite some of the weaker selections...
