KEYSCAPE Tutorial: Improve the "feel" & customize presets for YOUR playing style

In this video, I walk you through how to customize the settings in Spectrasonics' Keyscape for your playing style, your MIDI keyboard, and your sound. While there are plenty of great presets and starting places for the feel of the instruments in Keyscape, having a better understanding of how velocity curves, dynamics, and various dials work will give you a much more rewarding performative musical experience. Have you ever wanted the default piano in Keyscape to have a "lighter" action? Or maybe one of the Rhodes was "barking" too quickly and you want the action to feel "heavier" Well, look no further because in this tutorial, we solve those problems. Also, we talk about how to adjust the tone and character of the instruments, giving you ultimate control over the tone and feel of all the instruments in Keyscape.
