I don't know what that means in competitive marketing terms, other than unusually LARGE gaps between versions might cause concern. Just looked back at the V4 release date - Apr 2012. For me, if Modartt would make a model based on any of the new innovative pianos coming out of the woodwork, maybe I would then consider buying. The Bluthner was a good first step in at least showcasing variety in piano sound.

To be honest, I'm also tiring of the Steinway sound usually captured in many software VSTs. More tightness to a sharp-focused one.įLUB : I uploaded the FXP while not logged in, so I'm appearing there as a Guest. Less tightness is analagous to an unfocused photo. INSERT: your recipe is FIRST get an adequate stereo-microphone setup happening, NEXT crispen up the localisation of notes by tightening the Hammer Hardness levels. Also, I don't know if Acoustic instruments lose THEIR localisation with soft strokes, I no longer have one.Īny that haven't got Bluthner, try the same with a model you do have. Why increased localisation should track hardness, my idea is that if your model for piano sound is ADSR, harder makes the A section peakier, and the ear hangs all it interprets during the following die-away on that first cue. For it (begins to at 3 sliders) allow both spread-of-hardnesses AND tightness at the one setting - not true of the en bloc competitor - a little like an Acoustic does, but that little is a crucial step into simulating the real world of Acoustic pianos. Nothing like 40! Pianoteq is taking a righter approach than the competitor product.

In a nutshell that's why I want 5 levels not 3 (and 7 would be better yet). Look at the FXP and see my changes are not en bloc, (but somewhat are, in that where piano HH tightens toward forte's, the tightened mezzo HH keeps the Bluthner default's middle proportions to its untightened companions same while tighter effect).Īnd there were my iceblocks, all in a row! And Phut went the above-mentioned beef, correct enough, but flimsy with just a bit of under-the-hood tinkering. Called that a clue did I, and set to work. At core it tightens the Hammer Hardnesses, Why, since I noticed a certain (sampling) competitor-product in effect changed all HHs across the keyboard en bloc, and the localisation of notes at softest was fuzzy, at hardest had the precision of iceblocks all in a row. I'll post an FXP of my best effort to date, and warn I'm a bit deaf in my left ear right now, so make allowance.

And if my 'Pletnev' example turns out to be 'Pletnev plus engineers' then it was no example for the Others, or anyone, so let's forget it, talk turkey instead.Ī certain recent poster's beef (one of them) with Pianoteq boiled down to fuzzy location of the notes, and it happens such an aim (better location in space) of the notes is one I've had a long time. Others can play better than me no risk, and I want to speak of Pianoteq as an instrument, one that has set out to compete with Acoustics, and is doing very well by most comers, including the special Others Cloud out there. It happens in commercial piano recordings that the piano gets "darker" and/or "brighter" withOUT a corresponding proportional decrease and/or increase in volume.Īccepting your points all (shall say how, as contexts arise), let's open by remarking I myself can't claim anything LIKE 40 levels of control (or 20)! But I can achieve the levels even if by accident the instrument makes this a cert, and besides, I'm not all alone on earth. exhibited a live sound that was since compressed. What this means is that the German Steinway that Pletnev used. In addition, the referenced Pletnev-Scarlatti recording has been post processed by the recording engineer and mastering engineer. I suppose the answer is that it is possible for this to be true, but I know of no person of any time period who was able to reproduce 120+ gradations in touch. Now, I imagine one asking, since Pianoteq has 127 non-zero note-on velocities whether is it possible to have 127 gradations of volume in Pianoteq. A world-class concert performer, performing on a concert-prepared instrument, has approximately twice as many gradations (possibly more) of volume and touch.

Does this pianist apply a range pp different from his p, another range ff different from his f? Surely so, you can hear it.Ī decent piano player has approximately 20 gradations of volume on a decent piano.
