Simply amazing!
He used the new Korg Oasys and that thing blows the rest of the
clones, pianos, synthesizers etc. out the back door. You can now
sell all of your Yamahas, Rolands, Kurzweills, Nords and get one
keyboard that does absolutely eveything and does it beyond
perfection.
I am the most critical player in the world and I look for the weak
points. As far as I've heard there are none.
It has a full blown CX3 loaded inside as well as a Karma and three
sets of synth engines not including sampling.
His organ work was beyond perfection.
At one point I thought he surely had some sort of clone or rack organ
gizmo or something. But it sounded too real to be a clone. The
Leslie effect was also amazing.
I had the good fortune to meet with him after the show and peppered
him with questions, which he graciously answered. He told me that
every sound he used during the show came from the Korg. He did use
some sort of a ribbon controller that triggers a V synth. Cool but
nothing like the Oasys.
I'm headed straight to Best Buys to get their new CD. I guess ti's
time to put in some practice.
Chuck
