Fri, 19 January 2007 More Rhodes less travelled by.
Here is another glimpse into the production process.
This is a 'Rhodes' stage piano patch i tweaked in GarageBand (to get the sound i like when i play my real Rhodes - which i've been playing since 1991). I've done a wee bit of sequence editing - to fine tune some note velocities and smooth out a few rough edges (mostly to compensate for the mechanically un-weighted M-Audio Radium49 MIDI Controller's total lack of feel; the real hammer action of the real Rhodes won't let the velocity do anything mechanically unnatural). {2008 Sept 9 addendum: I was thinking of getting a Kawai MP8, but after playing a Yamaha Motif XS-8 i'fe fallen in love with the Motif tone generators. The Motif feels like a wonderful creative tool, so, well, i can't afford it anyway, so i may as well dream about it. [heh] I was planning to use this as a musical 'backbone' for a more finished composition, but the theft of my Mac from my burgled apartment here in Seattle has brought an end to that idea.} ... This sequence is 99% untouched. Enjoy! Copyright MMVII Joan Heath Patrie
