My Keyboards (Page 2)
Hohner D6 Clavinet
The sound made famous by Stevie Wonder in the track Superstition, the D6 is an actual string instrument with pickups. I fell in love with it when I heard Rick Wakeman's "Journey to the Center Of The Earth" album. Another keyboard I had to have. Don't use it live at all anymore. I just keep it around because I love it. Pick up Wakeman's album and give it a listen...you'll see what I mean.
Akai MPK 88
I needed a complete digital mother keyboard for live peformances and recording. The Akai MPK88 was the perfect keyboard. I use it in conjunction with a laptop using Propellerhead's Reason as a sound generator (see below). I use this combo live, and Blake is becoming a master using it to record. You will hear some of the original recordings soon on this website as recorded using this keyboard and the Propellerhead Record software.
Reason/Record Duo
This software package allows for thousands of preset sound generation created digitally on a computer and fed through the Akai MPK88 to create infinite instrumentation for live or recorded performances. It also allows the MPK88 to be used as a recording controller to create unbelievably dynamic studio recordings via computer. It is the basis for Blake's studio recordings and soon to be mine.
Technics SX-PX106M
This piano is my baby. I've had it for about 15 years. It has a very unique sound and uncompromising control. It runs in true stereo and has a Celeste stereo function that gives it a fullness I have not heard in other digital pianos. Used in conjunction with the Roland JV 880 midi orchestral controller, it has a sound that must be heard to be believed. Check out one of my solo shows and you will be a believer as well.
