Thanks for the kind words man! - Jay

Reply from Jay: "Hey Bruno, It’s not the Famous E Electric Piano as this was before we sampled the E. This is a Yamaha Motif patch I spent a lot of time on trying to get it sound as good as possible. This patch has a very strange midi velocity layout as Midi 70 is just one sample not used for any other sample. I seem to remember that one through 69 is one set of samples, 70 for just one sample and 71 through 127 is the third set. I can’t remember how I dealt with that. At some point I’ll check it as to find out what happens. I always tweak/edit velocities after the part is played. Now that we have the E sample program I don’t use any other Rhodes sample but at the time it was better than other programs. Anyway, I’m glad you like the sound but have you tried the E yet? It has 18 layers of velocities meaning 18 separate samples. We recorded 30 individual velocities but after we listened very carefully, all we needed was 18 as they all are distinct sounds the Rhodes has to offer. Further, there is no sample looping as we let all the samples decay until they were no longer audible. Every time you play chords in the program, keep in mind that every time we recorded individual samples that builds up noise wise. For example if you played five notes in a chord, that equals running through the E electronics 5 times. Even though the E is very quiet, on one of the early updates of the E, Greg denoised all the sample sets to drop the noise level down to -90 dB. That leads to the fact I think this is the quietest Rhodes sample set available! If you have the E, have you tried the stereo mode in the advanced section? I think we have the only Rhodes that has a true stereo mode where are the notes pan from left to right or you can reverse it so the loan notes start at the highest point. Another thing we did was, I dislike the release samples as that was a mechanical flaw Harold Rhodes couldn’t get rid of. To get rid of the release samples, in the advanced section, you can set the decay time (release time) of the samples from 1 to 300 milliseconds. Not only do you get rid of the release samples that are annoying, if you use an acoustic piano sample program along with the E, you can adjust the decay time with that control to match the piano decay time! There are a bunch of other great features as well! So if you don’t have the E, check it out as I think you really dig it! jaygraydon.com/The_Famous_E_Electric_Piano.htm All best, Jay"

@@kerstinolofsson2790 Hey Jay, all the years I have followed your work I wanted to tell you something: one of the best harmonic cord progressions in history is in your song "mornin" in the bridge after the 2nd verse, when Al sings "my smiling face....". It is genius !! It opened a new door for me and I have to thank you very much for the inspiration !!

Were the Graydon All Stars a regular assembly of studio musicians? Can we identify them all by name? Porcaro on keys stage right, maybe? He looked 30 years younger I guess.....doesn't resemble him today, but I guess could be him. Williams did a stint as front-man for Lukather & Company when Kimball went AWOL, correct? He has that kind of voice. Didn't recognize any other Toto members....drummer is an enigma, bass player, etc. Excellent acoustics and audio overall. It sounded like music from the 80's and early 90's.

Hi Andrew, Yes, I still have that one of a kind Gibson scale Valley Arts Tele! Even though it looks like a tele it sounds like a Les Paul since it’s two humbuckings. - All best, JAY Sent from my iPhone

@@kerstinolofsson2790 That's awesome! I love the old valley arts stuff. I have a 1980 and 1991 Valley Arts. Thanks for answering!
