Vsl pianos are the best And their bosendorfers (290, 280) are the best of vsl pianos I love them so much❤ Thanks for the video
Beautiful arrangement and nice play! 👏
I don't like every creative choice you made here, but by golly this is freaking awesome.
You're playing and mini-compositions are amazing!!! very inspiring. :)
Amazing. Excellent job !
Have you ever compares the action of this with the new Numa Piano X GT with fully wood fatar action?
Very nice. Where did you learn to play the piano and compse please ?
How much does it cost please?
Great demo. Such a great VST.
FANTASTIC DEMO!!
Love your idea! great job!
Will install into the mpc live ll?
Not sure
Absolutely beautiful playing!! Sounds amazing 🎉
Thanks man 🙏🏼
Awesome! What percussion library are you using to supplement SOLO?
Thank you! It’s a mixture of Musio collision, NI Middle East, and some stuff I sampled myself
It's looks like you have 2 bonus fingers
Looks awesome! Love your choice of scale/tuning for that demo song.
Thanks man, would love to see more videos from you. That pianoteq demo was awesome. 👏🏻
@@LeonThomasian You're too kind, thanks Leon! Your arrangements are consistently amazing -- I especially love the middle-eastern flavors you sprinkle around in them.
Presentation simply una bellezza bravo music is truly universal .28 from EARON EARTH JUST LIKE YOU NYC PEACE
Thank you so much! 🙏🏼
Composition playing, editing... everything top notch dude! Subed. Can you do a video and compose a 80's style or cyberpunk synth music. I really wanna hear how synths sounds with your fast playing style.
Thank you so much, I appreciate you! 🙏🏼 yes that sounds like a fun project. Do you want it to feature synths from the Casio?
@@LeonThomasian Whatever synth you like. I use Vital and Baby Audio BA-1.
@@dragonstone6594 nice! You should check out the synth stuff I’ve done with Twin from FabFilter ;) I think you’ll like them.

@@LeonThomasian Nice, very cool.
Which is your favorite piano VST?
From PianoTeq or in general?
@@LeonThomasian In general, I love Pianoteq 8 btw.
@@dragonstone6594 lately I’ve been using Synchron Fazioli F308 from VSL and it is incredible. Super heavy especially with all the mic positions available, but it is so worth it in my opinion
@@LeonThomasian Thx for sharing :)
Best piano test playing I've seen in a review. You put others to shame. Great job!
🔥🔥🔥
Sounds amazing!
Love all the ethnic instruments!!❤

Sounds incredible
Beautiful cover mate!
What speakers do you use to listen to pianoteq through live whilst you play may I ask?
In this studio, it was through the focals twin 6 be
The composition you are playing with the concert hall patch immediately caught my ear. Excellent melody and execution!! Do you have that recorded or featured on another video?
Thanks a lot. No I don't think I've used this composition in another video. I normally come up with fresh compositions for every video I record.
What keyboard he using?
Casio S3100
Hi Leon, I am wondering if you have a midi file for purchase on this arrangement very happy to donate await your reply kind regards Noeline
Hi Noeline - thank you for your interest, yes I do have the MIDI available. Please get in touch with me on my website: www.leonthomasian.com and we'll discuss it. Cheers!
My ears are bleeding from this beautiful song
Thank you ❤
Эти упражнения определенно рекомендовал Ференц Лист! Я помню их из книги Уроки Буасье.
Кто тоже хочет такие большие руки..
Пойду поплачу с своими маленькими руками и отсталой техникой :((
Wonderful composition and playing!! 😍
Wundervolles Arrangement
Love this!
Very very nice music ❤
I love them. I also picked up their suite of pianos. They are excellent. I'm continuing to build my composition skills..
Wonderful! Keep it up 👍🏻
Absolutely incredible demonstration and exquisite playing that just blew my mind. Superb video production and editing as well. Thank you for demonstrating this incredible keyboard, it's now on my purchase list. 👍👍😁
Than you very much. Glad you found the content useful. Hopefully you'll come back and report about your experiences and new musical journey.
Nice, are these the Casio sounds or is the Casio just being a MIDI controller and then using software patches on the computer?
Yes, these are all Casio's factory sounds.
Awesome! I've just recently started to get into scoring for film. I starting to learn my way around cubase but it's a big challenge. Could you do a video or explain in the comments how you set up your template (such as the one in the video) or any orchestral template you use?
Thanks! It definitely has a learning curve but you'll definitely get there eventually. I'll be posting many videos soon, but also some videos on this particular subject that you mentioned. One in particular would be about preparing click tracks. Stay tuned!
Wow who did the epic visuals?
My friend and I worked on the visuals together. I'm mainly a musician, but I'm also interested in photography and graphic in general.

This year has been ups and downs for me. I work really hard for a month and get overwhelmed and crash for a week or two with little to no productivity and then come back up with positivity. On a positive note, here is a new video I uploaded on UA-cam. If you can do me a favor and take 10 minutes of your time to watch it and drop a comment, I would really appreciate your support. Even though I’m rarely responsive, I love reading your comments/reactions. Working on this video has been an eye opener in steering my UA-cam channel into a direction I have wanted to take it for a long time. This just may be the year I make that dream come true. Your thoughts and feedback on this matter are widely welcome.
