theyre fun to play but if you dont have enough money to get a nice one then just get a cheap one :mrgreen:

#302

Yeah, theyā€™re really cheap. I got an electric keyboard for 95C$.

#303

I donā€™t know about prices (Ine USA, GB, etc) but a GOOD PIANO here costs around $2000 - $10000 (ARS)
its like $400 - $2000 (USA Dollar)

#304

Yeah. I think my piano will suffice. Itā€™s pretty good. The only downside is that it doesnā€™t have foot pedals.
And I think I donā€™t want to waste $4000 on a piano. Iā€™d rather buy something else.

#305

I like plugging my $100 piano into my computer to make it sound like a $2000 dollar one (or any other instruments)

#306

How do you do that?

#307

Magicians never tell their secrets

Iā€™ll give you a hint, though. (itā€™s not advertised for the my use, but It works well)

#308

Yeah I might save up for a keyboard. I already have a piano so it doesnā€™t have to be a good one.

#309

My suggestion isnā€™t actually an instrument, but rather an organization of the instruments. I think that all synth-y sounding instruments that are in the ā€œKeyboardsā€ section should be moved to the ā€œElectronicā€ section, because I feel that the techno bass is lonely. All other sections with techno instruments (synth brass, synth bass #1 and 2, synth strings, yes they all start with synthā€¦) can stay put.

As for an actual instrument, I nominate the harp to be the first considered to be put in.

#310

Or perhaps just move the techno bass to the Strings section?

#311

Well no I donā€™t think that would help. The problem I have is that it would be nice if I was making a techno song to have all the synths in one place together and it would help clear up the keyboard section. And if the Techno Bass was moved, what use is the electronics section? I just donā€™t like that there is a whole section with just one instrument in it, I think that along with my earlier suggestion all new synths should be placed in there as well.

#312

Well, heres my suggestion:

  1. Splash Cymbal

  2. Cymbal bells

  3. Right sounding snares >

  4. A more thwompy sounding base drum

  5. China cymbal

  6. More toms (Like a 14" tom) Note that All the suggestions spell: Scracm, WHAT DOES IT MEAN???!!!

#315

I really want a crash cymbal in the ā€˜drum kitā€™ section. Thereā€™s nothing I hear that is like a crash cymbal in it and I need it for a big project Iā€™m working on.

#316

Try to use the Reverse Cymball #1 in C3 (not C4)ā€¦

#317

I know this thread is pretty much dead (Iā€™m a poet and I didnā€™t know it), but in all seriousness, there are a couple things I can think of that would add some more diversity.
1: A distorted guitar. For a distorted guitar sound.
2: A plucked electric bass, for maybe rock ballads or whatever.
3: A slap bass. For heavier songs.
4: This isnā€™t an instrument but the alto sax should be able to play long notes.

#318

The metal guitar is distortedā€¦

#319

I think everything here is pretty much dead.

#320

Ya, iā€™m a zombieā€¦

The drum variety needs an improvement IMO, there needs to be more toms and cymbals.
