Members pogo97 Posted June 20, 2008 Members Share Posted June 20, 2008 This is interesting. They're very different from each other. I'd be curious to try your midi with a couple of Pianoteq's pianos. Would you mind posting the midi file? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ElectricPuppy Posted June 20, 2008 Members Share Posted June 20, 2008 Yes please post the MIDI file, I have one other piano, I'm curious to see how it stacks up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not at all.... Here it is, in standard MIDI format: Walthius Piano Demo MIDI File It'd be interesting if people posted recordings of their different pianos using this tune for comparison purposes.

Members Birdienumnum Posted June 20, 2008 Members Share Posted June 20, 2008 Nr 1 sounds like the Concert Grand D of Akoustik Piano.I was going to say that too, but I was too cowardly to post in and be wrong . . .I knew it was software, it was way too good. I guess keybdwizrd had them ranked in order of quality: software, motif, fantom, jv. Except that like some others here I quite prefer the fantom to the motif.

Members ChristianRock Posted June 20, 2008 Members Share Posted June 20, 2008 Let's post piano sounds here!How about running that midi through an Electric piano, how do you guys think it's going to sound? I think it would sound pretty good actually! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members pogo97 Posted June 20, 2008 Members Share Posted June 20, 2008 Thanks for the midi, keybdwizrd. Here are five examples from Pianoteq. M1 and C2 are sort of generic pianos (at any rate they're anonymous) and Bechstein and Erard are modelled after specific individual pianos. Graf is an individual pianoforte (and is, by default, in Werkmeister III temperament). I used dry untweaked versions for all of these.

Members ElectricPuppy Posted June 20, 2008 Members Share Posted June 20, 2008 Neat, Doug, thanks! Overall, for a modeled piano this is very impressive. I liked the M1 best. The Bechstein started out good but then turned plasticky in the mid-lows near the end. I swear that the Erard sounded like an old Elton John recording.

Members ChristianRock Posted June 20, 2008 Members Share Posted June 20, 2008 Good job, Doug!Yamaha C2 for the first one? Kind of does sound like a Yamaha doesn't it?Petrof makes an upright that they call the P 131 M1. No idea if that's what the M1 is, I haven't heard one. It could be an upright or a baby grand... I think it's my favorite of the bunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members pogo97 Posted June 20, 2008 Members Share Posted June 20, 2008 Astounding. A gorgeous little grand like that and it still takes a wall wart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ElectricPuppy Posted June 20, 2008 Members Share Posted June 20, 2008 I'm embarrassed to say, "no, it's not." My interests tend to ebb and flow, and right now they're centered on synths. I've no doubt that I'll get back to the piano eventually, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members davidplasti-k Posted June 22, 2008 Members Share Posted June 22, 2008 #3 is my favorite because I can feel not only the sound but a real environment specially for solo piano. #1 is my second but maybe Icould like it more if there is some drums and guitars or something. #4 is the last. Too bright for my taste but for salsa and latin could work very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members keybdwizrd Posted June 22, 2008 Author Members Share Posted June 22, 2008 Here are five examples from Pianoteq. Thanks for sharing these, this is very interesting. I think my personal preference amongst this group is the M1. I would love to hear what Synthogy Ivory sounds like.... does anyone have Ivory who could post some MP3s?

Members Reptilian Posted June 22, 2008 Members Share Posted June 22, 2008 for me number 3 is the best, definitely (it was in fact the only piano I actually liked). I would recommend you to sample a Kurzweil piano, it rocks in pianos. ps: keybdwizrd you have a very great collection of machines as i saw in your videos, those really rock!

Members Oscius Posted June 22, 2008 Members Share Posted June 22, 2008 I like 3rd one the best then the first and second and the worst is the 4th one.Too bad there is no kurzweil grand cause that's the best . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members keybdwizrd Posted June 22, 2008 Author Members Share Posted June 22, 2008 ps: keybdwizrd you have a very great collection of machines as i saw in your videos, those really rock! Thanks. Like many people I am often trying out different synths, so I don't necessarily own them all at the same time. For example: "Keepers" I have now: DSI Prophet '08 Virus TI Polar Moog LP Tribute Korg Micro X Yamaha Motif 6 Yamaha Motif Rack Yamaha MU80 Roland Fantom XR Roland JV-1080 Sofsynths: Arturia MinimoogV Arturia ARP2600V NI Absynth 4 NI Pro-53 Gmedia Oddity MOTU MachFive 2 MOTU Ethno USB Plugsound Pro Morphine Synths on my wish list (to purchase and try): Roland JP-8080 Moog Voyager RME Korg Radias Korg Triton Rack Roland Juno Stage (when it comes out) Arturia Analog Factory Experience (with the keyboard) U-he Zebra 2 Korg Oasys (yeah, I'd love to have one....) Synths I bought, played, and sold: Moog Rogue (no real use for analog monosynth with no MIDI or patch memory) MiniKorg (ditto) Korg EMX-1 (cool box, sounds great, but my workflow just didn't jive with the beatbox/drum machine concept) Roland TR-707 (ditto) Access Virus Indigo (sold it when I got the TI) Waldorf Micro Q (lots of people love the Waldorf sound, I wasn't one of them) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would add the PC3 in that list to make it perfect in my opinion. I agree with most of your tastes, they all should rule. this is my personal wish list: -Virus TI Polar-Moog/Minimoog Voyager, I dont care which one I just need a good Moog Product-Kurzweil PC3 -Korg Microx-Roland V synth What Synth do you like more, Motif or Fantom?, is it true what users talk about the Fantom x? is it that great?. I tried it in the store, but I think I need to explore more that machine to have a better opinion because users are all happy with it. take care and keep playing!

Members Khazul Posted June 22, 2008 Members Share Posted June 22, 2008 Not at all.... Here it is, in standard MIDI format: Walthius Piano Demo MIDI FileIt'd be interesting if people posted recordings of their different pianos using this tune for comparison purposes. Thanks for posting this - ill run it through some of the stuff I have around here Someone who has a Kurzweil PC3X *PLEASE* do the same - would be really interesting to get that thing in the comparison.

Members Khazul Posted June 22, 2008 Members Share Posted June 22, 2008 Synths on my wish list (to purchase and try):Korg RadiasKorg Triton Rack Radias - have one, and TBH I fiddle with it lots, find some cool stuff on it, record it, then usually some time during mixing I start getting irratated and replace it with a virus ti sound, so it been mostly used for spot fill work, occasionally adding air to virus ti sounds etc. A really fun machine, but basically thin. Triton rack - while most of the stock sound IMHO fall behind the fantom xr and motif es, there are some real gems in this thing. Synthy and processed sounds seem to have more character than the others too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paolo Di Nicolantonio Posted June 22, 2008 Members Share Posted June 22, 2008 Cool post! I always enjoy when people post audio, instead of text only. They all sound pretty good, including the Pianoteq, but to my ears, the Roland Fantom XR sounds the best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cygnus64 Posted June 23, 2008 Members Share Posted June 23, 2008 OK, I ran it through my modest low-budget romplers.http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=301701The mm6 is the "classic piano" patch. The X50 is the "StereoPiano mf/f."The X50 isnt quite is horrible as people might think, then again its not going to win any prizes. It might work in a Bruce Hornsby song.

Members Cygnus64 Posted June 23, 2008 Members Share Posted June 23, 2008 The X50 isnt quite is horrible as people might think, I just listened to it. I take that comment back. It sounds pretty crappy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
