We have been having a blast playing around with the new keyboard. Here’s a little more about some of the features courtesy of Roland Corp. We said it once we will say it again… WOW, what a great unit! Can’t wait to get started on our next project with it.

We are excited about starting to work with a new keyboard. Up to this point most of our projects were done on a Roland KR-15 Digital Grand Piano. We plan on keeping the KR-15 in the studio and will continue to use it on select projects. We just got our hands on a Roland Fantom G. WOW, what a great unit!

A short list of just some of the features:

• Advanced sound engine with double wave capacity of previous flagship workstation
• 2 x ARX expansion with SuperNATURAL the worlds greatest performance-expression technology
• Graphic user interface with extra-large 8.5 wide color LCD and mouse connectivity
• Newly developed onboard audio/MIDI sequencer with 128 tracks including 24 audio tracks
• Multi-FX for each part; up to 22 effects routings can be programmed simultaneously
• Top-of-the-line keyboard action, weighted PHA II Ivory Feel keyboard
• Heavy-duty casing with aluminum panel
• Advanced Sound Engine Driven by a powerful new audio processor
• The list goes on and on… Check out the video to learn more.

From time to time, we have mentioned the equipment that we use to do our recording on. We recently finished up an upgrade to a 64 bit O/S and the addition of dual monitors. The dual monitors make it much easier to display all the tracks during the recording and production process. If you are wondering, the piano is a Roland KR-15. Some of our tracks use sounds directly from the Roland, while others take advantage of the sounds in Dimension Pro, a virtual synth, that ships with Sonar version 8. On tracks where we use a patch from a virtual synth, we still use the Roland as a MIDI controller to record the tracks.

Here’s the end result:

Roland KR-15

What does it sound like? Take a listen to one our tunes called Fiesta.
