Yamaha GT20-Grand Touch Piano

Xyloband · 19-06-2012, 08:18 PM

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??

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?

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

I would need two... so I could paint the hell out of one and make it look like chris's

Ditto

I'm actually sanding down my Up-Right and I asked my dad if I could paint it black

Wurlitzer 31" Spinit

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 · 20-06-2012, 04:01 PM

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

It works!! i can play other sounds on my Gt20 with that Kontakt Player and a midi in out to USB cable

yess!

Beautiful piano! Been trying to get one for years now, but they are so rare. Did you recently get it?

Xyloband · 21-06-2012, 08:02 PM

i bought it last month, i had very much luck cause it was just 200km away for sale in a piano store house.

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

the result...

Since I can't find what keyboards/VSTs/racks Coldplay used and use now, these are only assumptions

Wow, amazing. I was looking for a GT-20 since I first heard of it's existence

Congrats!
