They were used by artists including Genesis, Peter Gabriel, Phil Collins, U2, Howard Jones, Billy Joel, the Grateful Dead, Frank Zappa, and more recently Keane to name just a few. Before later models went full-digital, the early versions used hammers to strike strings as in a standard acoustic piano, but then added transducers to convert the sounds into amplified electronic signals. The CP-70(and 80) were “electric grand” pianos produced by Yamaha starting in the mid-1970s. After cutting the tempo in half and laying down a Moog bass sound and a very glassy pad, I decided I wanted to go full Peter Gabriel on it and include a CP-70 kind of piano part. I’ve been working on a song the last few days which, unexpectedly, took a turn from a straight-up rock guitar song to something more atmospheric.
