And there is a Dry button that mutes all effects. As far as effects go, there is Chorus, Phaser, Reverb, and Delay. Yes, Sustain Pedal resonance and even Soft Pedal are recorded and/or programmed into the instruments. In addition, there are Sustain Soft Pedal knobs. Yes, you can see which microphone you are adjusting.īesides the five microphone volume and pan knobs, there is ADSR, Tone, Cutoff, Key Off, Noise, and Velocity curve and filter knobs or sliders.
And for me, the first microphone perspective (SCX 25s, if you want to know) was all I needed.
I do not have a surround set-up, so I only tested the instrument in stereo. It is designed for use in stereo or 5.1 and 7.1 surround, and that means that you have the ability to match different microphone perspectives to the mix you desire. The sound of the piano is on the dark side of piano sounds. The Grand EW preset comes in at 22.66 GB, and the sound is large enough to match the size. This instrument definitely fits that “Monster” and “Massive” description.
This Fazoli piano is a good example of the detailed work that went into the recording and programming of this collection. And while I would stop short of saying it is a benchmark collection, I can say with confidence that it is quite impressive. This is a massive keyboard collection! It is a massive download that will take up approximately 40 gigs of hard drive space. And that, my friends, is what brings us to this review of the Q Up Arts California Keys. Fortunately we live in a software-rich world. And my home studio isn’t nearly big enough to house these instruments. I have a hard enough time hauling my equipment around when I only play a Yamaha CP4. I love a piano, be it an upright or grand! I love an Electric Piano, although as I’ve gotten older, I have less patience for the seemingly endless adjustments they require. Is it a “Monster” keyboard collection or a “Massive” keyboard collection? Either way, this is large, expansive cornucopia of keyboard sounds.
