In a live performance by Journey in Las Vegas in 2008, as captured on the YouTube video by Traveler's JourneyLives, Jonathan Cain is seen using a Kurzweil MicroPiano. This setup is part of his MIDI configuration, where he combines it with a Fazioli grand and a Roland Fantom to enhance volume. The video provides a glimpse into Cain's approach to layering sound, raising questions about his technique, such as whether he uses these piano sources simultaneously or employs specific split points to avoid phasing issues. Additionally, the video notes his use of a Hammond XK-2 with a Leslie speaker, a change from his previous use of a Dynacord CLS-222. This setup highlights Cain’s evolving preferences in achieving his signature sound.
