Supernatural Piano ARX Census 2010

I don't think a card dedicated to piano would be very cost effective for them or the consumer. The piano's on the FG are not that bad. NOT BAD ENOUGH TO MAKE ME PURCHASE A $400-$500 EXPANSION WITH JUST ACOUSTIC PIANO ON IT.

NAW SORRY... just not worth it.

There are a few other things that would be a little more important to me. (I can't even really think of sounds that are just really really lacking on the FG... , maybe the organ card. That would be nice I guess.

(watch someone say a bass guitar ARX... LOL. I guess they could do a guitar card that would allow acoustic guitars, bass guitars, and electric guitars with tons of different effects. that would be a nice addition for the people that use a lot of guitars. If they were going to do pianos I think they should have put them on the expansion with the Electric Pianos. And the orchestral card could have been all in one with the brass. (just a way for them to suck more money from consumers) The drum card is a nice expansion... but I wish that it would offer more parts (than just 1... at least I guess.) They way they have it now, you can only use one kit at a time AND I've heard that making any type of change even if it's just to one sound that is on one key, it forces you to use a user slot (and I'm not sure how many of those there are)

But back to the focal point, no there is no real reason for them to bring out a supernatural piano card.

I did like the piano sample that was so generously given to us by B, but it didn't just blow me away enough to make me keep it saved in my sample memory. At least not for my main project. I may pick it back up later on (as a part of my main church music project... not like I'll need the sample space for much else...)

The pianos on the FG are not that bad though. And don't even mention the pianos on the user/custom download nav site. We have plenty of piano.

Well, to make a piano ARX is a question what else are they putting in it. I think that only one sampled piano wouldn't be right.

But what about an additional upright, or clavs and other piano-like instuments (without EP's), this would add and spread the possibilities. So, the name would be ARX-Keys or something like this. This would be nice and maybe worth the $400-500.

But more important would be a B3-ARX and a full Orchestral-ARX with choir, strings, percusion.

what do you mean other "piano" like instruments? who needs clavs enough to pay for a $400 expansion? not me. !!!! LOL

for those of you who did not see the sign at the beginning of the thread...

@apex

You are really negative!! Then just don't buy anything!

Like I said they could put in this card other types of piano like, clavichord, cembalo, Geigenwerk, Lautenwerck, and so on.

Are there enough examples. So, if you don't want clavs, don't want to spend money, and don't want additional instruments, I don't know what you are searching here!

Cheers

how was my response negative? LOL. not negative at all. I simply asked a question... "what other types of piano instruments were you talking about?" and I said "who would need clav sounds enough to purchase a $400 expansion?"

so, those of you friends out in Europe, please keep us posted on any ARX announcements this week at messe. :p anything piano related i am all ears.

oh, and please check out the Nord Piano88. I think i might get that instead of the CP1. i just cant get myself to like Yamaha keyboards these days. i think it has to do with the DX7 and SY era... hahahaha.

be sure we will be happy to communicate any new stuff for the Fantom G, whatever it might be...

I personally would appreciate a well done, multitimbral VA ARX over anything else, including a B3 clone (second on my list) or a (for me not so urgent) V-piano board. I'm not talking about the OS in this thread

I won't be whining either, because I know what is coming from Roland at Musikmesse.

jessej- please share~~!!! but they roland will have to kill you. hahaha.

Sorry I can't. NDA.

Just kidding. I have a new group up for the SH-01 on facebook, including pics and videos of the beauty.

It is (almost) everything I wanted for a JP-8000 Mk II in 2010. Great job Roland!

huh, that's pretty cool~

why are we even bother talking bout ARX ? I am beginning to think we are going to be stuck with three. now the possibilities are now just a sales pitch. mmmmm...well, new focus is cheap stuff (quick bucks) and so on. Time to stay away....

en76- i checked out roland's site with the new releases. i have to agree.
