If you want a minimoog sound, but can find the real thing check out these tow great plug-ins. One is the Arturia Minimoog V and the other is the Minimonta by G force software. Rick Wakeman himself endorses the Minimonsta. View the video to see Rick’s statement about the Minimonsta. Nothing beats the real thing, but these come close. Many people wonder about the value of some of the older electric pianos. Most are pure junk, but the RMI piano has maintained a unique position in the world of antique instruments due to the fact that both Tony Banks from Genesis, and Rick Wakeman from Yes both used one. The action my not have been great, but the sound was unique. Here is a great British documentary about electronic music. Includes interviews with Rick Wakeman (YES), and covers all topics that have to do with electronic music. Techno, prog (progressive) rock, ELP (Emerson, lake and palmer), YES, Bob Moog, the Minimoog and much much more. The RMI 368 was one of the most important keyboards that helped shape the sound of prog rock in the early 1970’s. Before piano sounds could be successfully reproduced on larger stages, this was one of the only alternatives. Famous users of this Piano include Tony Banks from Genesis and Rick Wakeman from Yes. There are a host of other famous users. Hans-Peter Lindstrom is the king of Cosmic Disco. Think of the anticipation and euphoria of the best Trance music coupled with the rambling analogue synthesisers of Jean-Michel Jarre and the madness of Rick Wakeman. Sounds Odd? I agree, but the result is far from cheesy. Check out the 29 minute title track ‘Where You Go I Go Too’. The Pat Metheny group has always interested me because they are somewhere between progressive rock and jazz fusion. Check out the number of Keyboards the keyboardist uses. It looks like a setup Rick Wakeman might use in Yes.
