How are using it, on board sounds or triggered? Yamaha certainly figured out some voodoo on getting a keyboard to be expressive, I am convinced Chick knew this and ran with it full blast.
@@evankeal I usually have my KX-5 hooked up to to any synth i use during recording sessions. For example a roland juno 106 or yamaha dx7. So yea i have it being triggered by other synths, from my use the KX-5 doesnt have any onboard sounds, it acts more like a controller with MIDI. The way chick corea used it in this vid is he had the KX-5 paired with the KX88 synth to share its sound patches.
@@EpicBlargman understood, I would love to know what exact sounds from his TX's/DX's he layers and plays with the KX88 (and subsequently sources the KX-5 with as well). I've been wanting to build a chick patch with (Rhodes/FM Electric/pad and even a little lead synth) he used very often on the first CC Elektric Band album. I know he had a ton of incarnations of his standard sound, I like them all. I could probably afford the equipment he used as rare and costly as it is these days, just not sure if I went that route would I get it all to work as I am very MIDI challenged. Have a decent patch going on a Roland DS, though nothing but a Yamaha is going to have that keyboard expression and touch that made it appealing to Chick. My Reface DX is the only Yamaha synth I currently own.
@@evankeal Same here, i wish you good luck with that MIDI can be tricky. I myself am a musician, ive been playing keys for a decade and a half, from pianos to synthesizers and i own alot of 1970s, 1980s, and 1990's analog and digital synthesizers, Chick Corea was one of my many inspirations (RIP)
Thank you! Do add a few words) Chick uses modded KX-5. He didnt like ribbon pitch bend, so he asked Yamaha team to install pitch bend wheel instead of volume wheel.
I hate pitch ribbons too. I have DX-100 and prefer the wheel because it's more natural to how I do bends on a guitar. They may have flipped it backwards too. At 2:47 he bends up by pushing the wheel towards him, which is opposite the way my wheels work.
I like pitch ribbons. I just hate the ancient technology the pitch ribbon uses on the Kx-5 😭😭😭 If it were the same as modern pitch ribbons, I would love it.
I absolutely loathe saxophone solos. Sopranino sax is fine, for light, background colourings. But, big honking scratchy alto solos? I'd much prefer a moderated flugelhorn, or small trumpet. Why don't I own any David Sanborn, Bob Berg, Roland Kirk, Clarence Clemons records? Oh, yeah...now I remember.
THIS IS SO LEGENDARY OMG
Somebody get a fire extinguisher please for Eric Marienthal's sax playing as he is absolutely on fire here. What a player! WOW!!!!!
And he is a REALLY nice guy. So is Chick.
I met and got a pic with Eric Marienthal back in 2018 when he played in London with fellow sax player Michael Lington, he was such an awesome dude
Amazing song, amazing band. I bought a Yamaha KX-5 because of Corea.
I just ordered one not too long ago

When Marienthal plays with Chick he is at the top of his art !
The definition of a Band right here,this was so pleasant to watch/hear
Miss those days... thanks for posting!

The timing is all in the mullet
Peak 80s
What sound uses frank gambale on guitar clean
Some sort of digital processor by the sounds of it, lots of compression and a tight gated reverb.
Que bárbaro!!!! Recuerdo que los miré en vivo en Guadalajara. Muy buenos músicos
Also sounds like the bridge and middle pickup out of phase with each other, classic jangly Strat rhythn sound.
The chord voicings..
How many sax solos can my ears handle?

Well, he was playing the lead melody. It's not an improvised solo.
