Steve Walsh (Kansas)




Question-reponse avec les fans sur son forum:


- Could you give us a breakdown of your setup you are currently using on this tour?
Steve: I'm playing a PC88(KURZ) and a K2VX(KURZ) and a rack EMU B3 with some mods.

- Would you give a brief round-up of what you're using for equipment and software?

Steve: MOTU DP3 with TC Electronics Powercore in a G4 733 using Apogee Trak2 preamp-Kurzweil keys, Soundeluxe Mic.

- Also, why do you prefer Kurzweil over other keys?

Steve: Kurzweil is the most versatile synth out there. I spent a lot of time looking at the future of synths about 12 years ago, and they had and continue to have the most to offer. I will be playing a new version of the K2600 this year. It's coming out in a couple of months, and is the K2661.

Il avait même réussi à en caser un dans le système de Wright.

Oh, pas qu'un, sur la tournee Division Bell absolument tous les synthés de Wright etaient des Kurzweil; tous les sons d'epoque (au hasard, les VCS-3 de "On the Run") etaient samplés dans la machine!

Oui, je sais, mais je ne me souvenais pas qu'il avait tant de synthés que ça.

Un Kurzweil, un Hammond, éventuellement une troisième bécane et le reste dans les racks, Kurzweil eux aussi.

C'est ca, je n'ai pas regarde Pulse depuis longtemps mais j'ai le souvenir d'un K2000 pose sur le hammond, plus du gros clavier maitre Kurzweil (dont la reference m'echappe) qui pilote des modules k2000r.

Tout ca pour dire que ca sonnait beaucoup mieux que les abominables Roland de la tournee Momentary Lapse of Reason

Page McConnell - Phish


Page McConnell plays a Hammond B3 with a Leslie 122 speaker (this has been modified with as large a boost to the percussion effect as possible), a Fender Rhodes, a Yamaha C7 concert grand (7'6") piano, a Hohner D6 Clavinet (often used in sync with a wah-wah pedal), a Moog Source, Alesis Andromeda A6, a Yamaha Motif, a Moog Little Phatty, and a Yamaha CS60 polyphonic synthesizer. He also plays the theremin. The Rhodes as well as the clavinet are sometimes played through a Maestro Phase Shifter. Starting in 2009, Page has been using a Moog Liberation Keytar when playing Edgar Winter's "Frankenstein" with Phish.

Page McConnell is a polymath keyboardist, a monster player whose musical voice is equally fluent in delicate jazz-inspired piano and with hard-grooving Hammond action. For their farewell tour, he will join Phishmates Trey Anastasio (guitar), Mike Gordon (bass), and Jon Fishman (drums) to play across the country.

"Page is a vintage player," says McConnell's tech Kevin Brown, a veteran keyboard doctor who has also supervised rigs for Tom Petty and Elton John. Central to Page's road setup is an acoustic grand piano: "I play a Yamaha C7," he says. "It has a nice bright rock sound and it's very roadworthy and solid. It holds its tuning very well out there." Adjusted by Brown three times per gig - fresh upon arrival in a new location, after soundcheck, and between the band's often marathon sets - the C7 broadcasts Page's licks and harmonies through a custom-built Helpinstill pickup.

Also central to Page's rig is a Hammond B-3, overhauled and maintained by Goff Professional. "Both Al and his nephew Dave have been great throughout the years," he says. "They worked on it, fine-tuned it, hot-rodded it." The main modification the Goffs performed, according to Brown, was an overhaul of the amplifier, replacing the original tube wiring with a more roadworthy solid-state setup.

With Phish's great success comes the great temptation to tour with too many keyboards. McConnell told Keyboard , "I tried being surrounded on four sides, but it becomes really difficult to play," he says. "I don't want to be dominated by my rig." Instead, Page judiciously augments his road setup with a Fender Rhodes (through a Maestro phase shifter), an Alesis Andromeda synth, and a Hohner Clavinet D6 run through a bevy of effects: a Crybaby Wah-Wah, a Boss distortion and delay, and Digitech Whammy pedals. The crowning jewel of Page's rig, though, is a Yamaha CS-60 analog synth. "I think of it as one of my signature sounds," he says. "I find it user-friendly, I like the tuning ribbon, and it has a very warm, unique sound to it."

A collector as well as a player, Page has a home stash that includes a Moog Theremin, a Moog Source, and a Chamberlin. Several of Page's pieces have stories attached: "[The Theremin] arrived within the last week of recording Billy Breathes . I was out there every day trying to run scales with my Theremin instructional video. It's a piece of work - if anyone can really play that, they know what they're doing." Even more intriguing is the mammoth, creaky Chamberlin that set itself on fire during the recording of the same album.

For Phish's latest and last official studio album, Undermind , Page added to his collection and continued a tradition: "I allow myself to buy one or two keyboards before each album," he admits.
