The Pink Floyd Keyboard Section (Revised)

I second Shit's pondering.

Keyboardists are smart people.


(hint: i play keyboards)



Charade I Am

im a keyboard player myself, and i must say: got-damn. if i had all that shit i would like, totaly have an all night keyboard orgy fest.

It'd be the Final Countdown

i've been thinking of buying a hohner d6 clavinet. is it worth it or should i just buy a wurlitzer instead. i'd like to have one to compliment a rhodes.

Yeah, well guitar players get more chicks. (Oooonly kidding now, guys...)

Wrightkeys, you are making me jealous!!! :smile:

I am an amateur keyboard player (I don't know HOW Mr. Wright...or any other musician, for that matter, performs in public--I would die from nerves!), and sometime, I would like to invest in a decent-quality synthesiser, and perhaps someday a Hammond setup like Mr. Wright's. But I want to keep costs to a minimum, so what synthesiser would be the most "bang for the buck"? I mean, what has the best sound and versatility, but I would not have to spend a massive amount on? (I'm on a tight budget, and especially with the Hammond in sight for the distant future, I don't want to break the bank with the other synthesiser!)

FloydWaters...or as I am sometimes known in the chat room, FloydWRIGHT! :smile:

well i'm not wrightkeys but if you don't mind my opinion i would say a nord lead 2 or any kind of waldorf synth. but that is strictly synths. if you want a keyboard that makes all kinds of strings and brass and drum sounds then i don't know.

I agree with typhoon.

".....And I Can Tell You Cause I Know......."

i use a korg triton (workstation/sampler)and an access virus (analog modeling)as well as a boss drum machine. i find that those are the only synths i could ever need. ive been eyeing a mini-moog for awhile though. maybe one day.

i also play bass guitar.

once you give the virus a listen youll never turn away.

so the virus is pretty good huh? i've only heard of it. don't know too much about it.

I don't know if any of you guys possess a quadrophonic copy of DSOTM, but during "Us & Them", there's a little piano piece in the left hand channel that normally gets obscured by the sax on regular stereo copies. On this version, it's as clear as a bell and absolutely beautiful. It's pretty much the piece that Rick plays during the DSOTM sessions on "Live at Pompeii.

FW, you'd dig it a lot.

Cheers,
