Dan,

Thanks for the info and the programming hints, I will try it out tonight.

BTW, did you program 019: VJS Reed E.Piano?..

Nope. I was deeply involved with the MOD-7 design, however.

So is there some good hard clean Wurlitzer sound I don't know about?

Anyway, one of the cards is an EP modeling card, and by the looks of it I can imagine getting a G just for that!!

Are you sure the ARX boards do not include any samples?

Not necessarily; the sound is the important thing, imo.

As part of being at Korg R&D, I've been working with physical models since the early 1990s. It just doesn't sound like it.

Also, Roland to my knowledge has never released a product which used physical modeling (they've been much more into additive/resynthesis, as in the Variphrase products). It would be strange for their first such product to be an add-on card.

Best regards,

Dan

Dan was right re: SuperNatural and physical modelling :

Interesting stuff.

Ah ahhhhhh Dan knows his stuff me thinks.....and oh the memories...RD-1000,that was a good piano.

So it looks like Roland has resurrected SAS ,with a modern twist and processing power.

Expansion Electric Piano. What! I wish. I believe that the ep programs can go alot further than the str-1. The rhodes sounds are my favorite sounds. A EXs Drums would be nice.

Just taste the words: Electric Piano EXi..

So so sweet..

Can I bribe anyone over there at Korg RD into developing it?..

I do not like this superficial discussion. I think Roland is going into the right direction to offer some - whatsoever physical model or not - emulations of good e-piano sounds. There is no dedicated attempt of KORG in this direction so far, which I think is a big failure. Mod-7 is great !!!!! But it does not suffice.
My impression is that the development of Oasys does not have the drive it deserves.... but this is another topic.

I suppose the "few" selling of the OASYS can't allow largest development.
Perhaps the development's cost of each EXI is greater than the Gain ?
Wait and see, the OASYS is OPEN and not Roland's Keyboards.

If that were the case, we wouldn't have had:

1. AL-1
2. CX-3
3. STR-1
4. LAC
5. MOD-7

Right?..

Hm - comming from the accustic piano I certainly do like real e-piano-sounds. But to be honest: I cannot see any deficits here on my Oasys. Of course, there's a big difference to a real Fender Rhodes. But once I use the e-piano-programs within a mix, it does not really matter to me. I'm happy with the e-piano-sounds offered right now and esp. STR1 and MOD7 added some really great sounds and possibilities. I can cover all types of e-piano-sounds needed for my productions with the current engines.

(Yeah - I know: different people - different taste

)

Since you've got embedded Linux in there, just implement enough WINE to support VSTs (like the Muse Receptor) and then we can load the AAS Lounge Lizard.

Call me crazy but I've actually found the CX7 makes for the best Rhodes-alike EP sounds. Not to diss any of the other EP sounds, in fact MOD-7 opens with my favourite (the one with the tines in the background and a bit of warmth) but the Rhodes has more of an organ timbre. Open up the stock CX7 programs and play around.

That being said, its still not quite right if you're after Rhodes. And we being perfectionists think near enough isn't good enough

I haven't had the chance to tweak any programs yet though so maybe its possible to get the right sound...
