Subject:Re: MKS-20 and sampled grands, OT big time

Just goes to show ya....I think the MKS 20 is still one of the best piano modules out there, at least for rock and other loud, dense musics....it has girth, body, and presence. I remember when I pulled the MKS20 out of my midi rack and replaced it with my just-purchased Kurzsweil module, and my timbale player turned and asked what happened to my fab piano sound. I mean...the TIMBALE PLAYER!!!!

I had one, the first MIDI module I bought to work with my KX88, which
is still working fine in my studio.

I thought the top and bottom ranges of the MKS20 were acceptable, but
the middle four octaves were thin and unconvincing. I was reduced to
dinking around with the unit's built-in chorus in a fruitless attempt
to get it to sound more authentic.

As soon as I heard the Kurzweil 1000PX grand piano, I sold the MKS20
and never looked back once.

The Kurzweil 1000PX piano was the champ until I heard, and tweaked,
the Grand 1 setting in the recent Yamaha P90.. a sustain layer that
really works.
