Puremagnetik PM-70 KONTAKT screenshot
KONTAKT | 361 Mb
8 multi-sampled instruments emulating the Yamaha CP70 Electric Grand Piano and its rich variety of tones. At the core, the CP-70 is a piano with strings and hammers with a pickup system for electric amplification. Originally released in the 1970’s as a "portable grand piano" for use on rock tours, the sound was made famous by Genesis, Kansas, U2 and more recently Keane.

The CP-70 can be compared to that of a Rhodes or Wurlitzer electric piano, but due to the use of strings instead of tines, it sounds much more like a traditional piano. The metallic strings amplified by electric pickups further characterize the CP70 as its own class of piano, giving it a guitar-like sound at times.

Puremagnetik worked with The Distillery to capture the pickup details using a prototype germanium-based DI from Sage Electronics. The twangy saloon like piano tone was recorded with a stereo pair of matched 414’s through a Focusrite ISA 828.

Additionally, Puremagnetik has programmed some patches to emulate the CP-70 tremolo circuit and tube amplifier. As evidenced in some of the more exploratory patches, PM-70 also explores the piano as a spectral source to create new fictional synthesizer tones.

I remember back in my high school, my orchestra had a old CP-30 hidden away in closet. I always asked about it and my director told me that the school had bought it in 1978, but It hasn't been played 1995. Being the free spirit I was (and strong lovers of all things keyboard), from sophomore to senior I worked on restoring it and making it playable again. Finally I finished it in 2004 (and I got to play it at my last school concert!!!!) and now my school has a working CP-30 again! (and I still drop by and play it from time to time!)

That's a really cool story Jennifer, thanks for sharing it. I've actually dropped by your Soundcloud and listened to you play the piano. I would give just about anything to be able to play like that. It's really frustrating because I don't have an instructor and I'm trying to learn on my own and obviously not a kid anymore where it can be picked up easier. I'm also simultaneously studying theory so it's been a really frustrating experience. I come from a technical background that can be creative but programming isn't exactly music.

Awesome story indeed! Can't find the soundcloud to hear but I may be able to help you Cat. Could possibly teach you both at same time. I need to add voice or annotations or something to my tutorial vids I did in C,need to make the other 11 keys too.One of these days

I know theory up until counterpoint which I'm studying now. The playing part is really killing me, that takes a long time to get good at.

Lol the same as me.. i tend to get frustrated though as i want to learn it to quickly and i end up giving up..

Rick Snoman does an excellent video on Counterpoint. If you haven't picked it up I highly recommend it. Go slow though, it can take a while to work through all the species and get it all sorted. Of course even that video is just an introduction to a topic that alone has about a billion tomes devoted to it.

Yea i know i tried to watch them all in one day and got information overload. I need to start watching them again and as you said just take it slow.. that's not the only thing im trying to study though as im trying to learn how to read music (musical notation etc) and play the piano (midi keyboard) properly which can take years and then on top of that their is Synthesis so im not sure what one i should priorities first. Then their is Mediation and Taoist Breathing, keeping my fitness up and my personal life.. (Im weird i know lol)

if we're talking really basic subtractive synthesis then it's pretty simple stuff. You're going to want to know about oscillators, envelopes, filters and modulation. I actually helped a guy learn about envelopes on a thread on AudioSex complete with pictures (believe we have a video up in AudioSex Academy), filters we have some videos in AudioSex Academy for sure. FM synthesis gets a lot more difficult but it's worth it, you can make timbres you can't any other way. Synthesis is the easiest thing of the studies you've listed so you can start there if you're looking for something a little lighter. I can highly recommend DMP: Synthesis 1 and Rob Papen Secrets of Subtractive Synthesis is great especially for beginners. You also get to learn some cool stuff pertinent to the Predator synth when you get to the designing sounds part on the latter suggestion so that's really cool.

Ahh yes on the endless quest for knowledge myself.Trying to learn 3-4 things at once sounds very familiar.In the middle of one of those as we speak.

You are absolutely right that it takes a long time.I'm not gonna say I'm great because I've seen guys that'll walk circles around me. But I understand what they are doing.

I'll say there are certain lil fast or intricate parts I can play that a beginner would have a tough time with.But also took me 15 yrs to get that way.
And am definitely willing to share most anything I know how to do.
I need a narrator

Articulation takes awhile to get down with playing.The two hands thing especially.

It's all patterns though,memorization of major and minor chords & scales.Then others,pentatonic,etc(Not gonna go waist deep in theory) There's lil add note or go to note patterns (5 to 6th tone or 2nd to 3rd tone,4th,etc) lil things like that.Those thicken up chords or can make interesting melodies,or dramatic effect.

When I teach I use the #'s system. Basically number scale intervals 1-8 (They have same harmonic value) Maj and min triads are always 1,3,& 5(except inversions,same notes though) I can get into relatives & 7th,9th,and so on.Much more I'm just not typing it again.

But man I know what you guys mean by trying to learn it all at once.I've watched a lot of the Gospel Musicians tutorials,to learn some different elements of playing and neo soul techniques,there's times that guy makes my head hurt.

Cat sounds like you know a thing or two about synthesis,I understand the functions of most of it.Have made patches before on hardware and software synths.Could stand to learn a lot more though,always..I just tweaked until i liked it.

Am thoroughly fascinated by synths,I always wanted to toy with an Ensoniq Fizmo that and an Alesis Andromeda for like a month,each

Also since I'm here Love the CP70 an interesting sound a bit different than most the other ep's.Good for Jazz too

Sorry for the book fellas

Hey guys. Recognize myself in a lot of what you're sayin. I started out learnin to play keyboards on organ and piano. Then synths, drum machines, samplers, home recording and computers came along and I was just as interested in learning how to use all that. Sound design, makin beats, recording, mixing, producing. Plus I found that I really wanted to develop as a composer/songwriter and arranger.

You know what they say, if you wanna get really good at sth that requires serious skills you have to really focus on that one thing for a long time. That's why great instrumentalists aren't usually the top producers and vice versa.
So even though I've been learning and playin keyboards for decades since I was a kid, I've accepted I'll never be nowhere great at it. I'll stay at level decent.

But I'm thinkin that maybe my collected knowledge can be a skill in itself, givin me some original ideas and helpin me make cross connections that creates sth that can be pretty cool in it's own way. We all gotta follow our own path and make the best of that.

All I want...

And yeah, CP-70 is a nice instrument
