Hi

If you talking about this one:

Well it is not a synth. It's a MIDI controller (korg kontrol 49 to be exact) and the unit doesn't have any sounds of itself. They connect it to a rack with receptors & modules with VST's (NI KOMPLETE & others) than out to the main pa console.

 

Here you have a nice video which explained how it works (MIDI keyboard > receptor > opt out > FF800 analog out > main pa console)

thanks so much!

That's an interesting video! :)

If we could only get a hold of their laptop. Just think of all the sounds, and keys, and everything. Great video!! :)

i can only imagine

The laptop perhaps contain all the tracks and sessions from the studio, but the first thing I will put my hands on is the special module (based on a tack piano) which is the key of Chris piano sound.

ahh..imagine..:)

I was looking for a video like this one as well :lol:

Thank you so much!
