Xyloband Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Hi I've got an Yamaha Gt20 Grand touch Piano but it doesn't sounds exactly like Chris' ones, but it's the same Piano! There are Midi in and Midi out connections. So is it possible to play the same sounds on my piano like Chris Martin uses them in clocks or Fix You?? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86Timewarp Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 The problem is that I bet Chris's piano has been sampled with more instruments or some sound engineers tweaked the midi sounds so that's the possible reason why. But holy shit that's a beautiful piano! Price? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

86Timewarp Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Something like that; the problem is most of the sounds are customized ether by custom samples, or different sounds layered to make one sound. I don't recommend spending $120 for those products though :wreck: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack1505 Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 That piano is beautiful! I would need two... so I could paint the hell out of one and make it look like chris's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack1505 Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 OMG after you paint it black what are you going to do? I imagine unless you went professional it wouldnt look as smooth/shiny/amazing as the stock paint on the piano in OP, wouldnt it look kind of matte? if so, paint it like the MX piano!

86Timewarp Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 :lol: true! But I'm still in high school and my parents are gonna have to eventually sell it if I cant take it with me to college. I was gonna paint it black and put the Viva logo on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimmyD Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Beautiful piano! Been trying to get one for years now, but they are so rare. Did you recently get it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xyloband Posted June 21, 2012 Author Share Posted June 21, 2012 i bought it last month, i had very much luck cause it was just 200km away for sale in a piano store house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agostino Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Yes, the sounds of the "Coldpliano" are everything but natural: maybe they actually mixed the GT-20 with some piano VSTs, but I think they could have modified the actual piano sound too. If you put the microphones in a certain way and you re-equalize the result, you can reach an unnaturally bright sound like the one of Lovers in Japan. I think in the Coldplay songs they simply processed the piano, but someone else modifies the actual piano. You all know the sound of a "tack piano", obtained by putting on the hammers tacks like these [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qRPF2Ux21yk]the result...[/ame] Since I can't find what keyboards/VSTs/racks Coldplay used and use now, these are only assumptions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
approximately Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Wow, amazing. I was looking for a GT-20 since I first heard of it's existence :D Congrats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bearcat1229 Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Chris's piano sound is a custom made patch from a very rare rack module. It would be near impossible to reproduce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agostino Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Er... Er... don't you know what that "very rare rack module" is? :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

agie90 Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 I Saw a video from Coldplay side stage, include instrument midi rigs. there was "Triton Rack" and "Muse Research Receptor". the technician (Miller / @Millerworld) also mentioned that the Fix You organ came from the "Triton Rack" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mollyxyloto Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Omg that piano is gorgeous, wish I could have one. I don't know the difference but I was sure Coldplay had the Yamaha gt10? :chris::jonny::guy::will: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86Timewarp Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 I've heard way back on the Viva era it was GT20 too, but then again, Chris has like 4 pianos :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
