In this video, Eric shows him how the Fender Rhodes is wired to the laptop which is running Keyscape:
• Rhodes USB output to Laptop USB
• Laptop Headphone output to Rhodes Suitcase audio input
At 2:00 minutes in the video, the audio switches from micing the Rhodes Suitcase speakers to the direct digital output of the laptop...with just the pure sound of Keyscape.
Keifer is such a sensitive player and it was a joy to hear him audition a variety of sounds from Keyscape. With his recent release of the fantastic “Superbloom” LP, Kiefer is a true force to be reckoned with...check out the record!

NOTE: Kiefer is using a custom Fender MIDI'ed Rhodes to play Keyscape in this video, but all but all audio is from Keyscape (except when comparing the actual Rhodes sound to the Rhodes from Keyscape).

My God the beauty of this guy’s playing....
-
if spectrasonics made a standalone hardware keyboard with keyscape, trillian, omnisphere and Stylus RMX in it along with premapped expression wheels, faders and knobs, id buy it in a heartbeat.

5:47 Kiefer: I don’t even know (scratches his head) Also Kiefer: Crafts one of the most beautiful improvisations I’ve ever heard. If you ever have an opportunity to catch Kiefer live, do it. You won’t be disappointed. Great job with Keyscape, Eric. It’s so subtle, dynamic, and expressive.

plays the most amazing shit ever "yeah so that was just all the major chords in random order"
-
Imagine taking this back to the '70s, '80s and blowing the minds of people. No, this is not a Rhodes, it is anything you want it to be. The CIA would probably want to stop you for this "supercomputer advancement". This demo blew my mind. A MIDI'ed Fender Rhodes playing Spectrasonics Keyspace through the Fender Rhodes. Too much internet or just enough? I adore the Spectrasonics stuff. Top class.

"I don't even know how I would play over something like this..." Creates the beginnings of one the greatest compositions of all time
-
I love how you can see Eric's passion for the product. Just smiles, smiles, smiles.
-
Kiefer: uses his own hands to do magic* Also kiefer: that's crazy...
-
The sounds are spectacular, but man Kief is one the greatest modern producers/musicians I've ever heard
-
Keyscape has a unique depth to the sound, the sounds are so good, that i could eat them with ice cream and waffles.
-
Eric has given us almost unthinkable realities through his ingenuity and creative skills as an accomplished musician, engineer and scientist! I can't even fathom having had something of this caliber back when I was coming up actually playing these physical instruments. I'm still stunned every time I call up both factory and my own patches in Keyscape, Omnisphere and Trilian. Constant inspiration every time! Thank you Eric Persing!!

Me: This guy plays with so much emotion Kiefer: THAT WAS ALL THE MAJOR CHORDS IN RANDOM ORDER
-
There are so many players that are amazing, but no matter how many chords they play, it's the 'Touch' that really makes you feel the emotion in the song or loop. Kiefer has a majestic touch on the keys, that many don't have. Deffo one of my favourite players.
-
Honestly, this is not just a Sample Library, this people of Spectrasonics have made ART in the form of Sample Libraries, the fundamental elements to connect with the music you want to portrait, the Keyscape software just allow you to feel it. My congratulations to all the team of Spectrasonics, you really nailed with this product in a way that is difficult to achieve to anybody else!.
-
What!! Kiefer... you guys are just getting all of my favourite artists!! He just blew us away at a live show in November... INCREDIBLE musician, incredible performer, and just a great guy!!
-
Kiefer makes such chill music. His next EP should be full Keyscape and Trilian :)
-
I cant tell you how much i relate to the guy coming up smiling ear to ear telling him how it works and pulling the classic "ok ill shut up and leave and let you do your thing" as soon as dude starts playing
-
I met up with Kiefer for a lesson a few years ago and we were discussing gear. After telling him about my Fender Rhodes, he said you should always stick with analog gear cause it’s better. I think Keyscape is one of the only exceptions when it comes to digital gear for me.
-
I never expected to be lost in time. I'm so thankful for hearing this unique melodic style
-
Eric's sounds are here to stay. And that's very hard to archive in the ever so fast changing software industry. Look at Trilogy for instance. It's a very old plugin and you still can't find a better sounding plugin for bass. You don't pay for spectrasonic products, you invest in it.
