Logics EVP88

[agx]

Hi, MC Para D told me how he used on his oldskool garage tunes, and Im guessing he used its EVP88 for rhodes.

Now, Ive been lookin for the perfect rhodes since 2001ish. the EVP88 comes close, but I feel like Im not doing something to make them sound like proper MJ Cole or Tuff Jam rhodes...I feel like Im missing suttin really obvious - common - and necessary to get them sounding proper.

The EVP88 is best rhodes emulator/sample(r thing) Ive dealt with (with Lounge Lizard being #1 but I cant get that to midi into Logic).

So anyone know about rhodes and Logic and stuff. Please help out.

Also, Id like to know how to make my break in Logic instead of importing/rewiring. How do you import your own drum sounds?

why not get a mpc instead?

[agx]

whats that?

Paul Rose

Lol.

[agx]

y lol? what is it?

where Zed, he prolly knows about Logic

AFAIK...
MJ Cole mics up a real rhodes for his tracks. The EVP88, although considered the best soft emulation for a rhodes, is too clean IMO. The Lounge Lizard has a more dirtier sound. You could probably add a little distortion to it or run it through a amp or something to get that sound.

Damn AG, You talk all this $$$$ about being a producer and etc and you dont know what the $$$$ a MPC is? Im sad man, forreal

FRANKIE P - THANKS FOR UR INPUT, I will try and get LL linked to Logic somehow

FLANCE: Im not a producer at all...

ag what you need mate is a internal midi router this will give you internal midi ports inside your machine so in devices list LL is set to be controled by logic

sonic foundary do the most stable one

(basicaly you have four midi ports)

connect them to any other midi program and thats it if you need audio in side you logic project bounce down to an input

[agx]

woahhhhhh Morph thanks, but in goo-goo ga-ga English please.

the internal midi router I shud get, is Sonic Foundarys? Thanks...Ill see what Kazaa...I mean, the expensive rip off high street shops, are saying.

Morph

I shouldnt be telling you this but i ran the Logic EVP88 on that mc ryder track that i remixed recently, its a VERY good piece of kit alongside the evp73 which leans more towards the electric piano's But in order to run the software you 1st need to buy Logic Audio and then Buy the plugin seperately, i think its about £150

THANKS MAN

[agx]

I thought the EVP88 was an EXTENSION to the EVP73, not something to sit beside it??

“	Originally posted by djaguk I thought the EVP88 was an EXTENSION to the EVP73, not something to sit beside it??	”

Two different instruments... EVP73 is a cut down/lite version of EVP88. EVP88 runs in Logic only. EVP73 can run in other VST host such as Cubase.

[agx]

by any chance, I dont suppose youvve made any riffs in it that you would send? Any 1 bar riffs that would skool me????

Morph
