I'm still getting a bit of 'zing' on C6 on the Steinways, although it seems more pronounced on some presets, especially with the NY D. I'm going to try your idea with the Steinway Ds, too. Yes! After doing some of my own testing, I have to say I agree about the Steinway B Wide - I think it's going to be my go-to preset now.
#MODART PIANOTEQ 5 TPB UPDATE#
Modarrt, please add by default in future update the same "Steinway B Wide preset", for NY and HB Steinway D (With same effects, MIC positions, limiter and dynamics than your excellent "Steinway B wide" of 7.5.2) I use this preset, and General Freeze option for effects, dynamics, limiter, and mic positions, and use it to make " NY Steinway D WIDE", and "HB Steinway D Wide), based on this. "Steinway B wide" preset is the clear winner of this 7.5.2 internal revoicing update I'll try theses new ones as well but the response in touch of the previous one was outstanding. It is just a matter of taste but I am glad I saved in a preset the previous hammer hardness voicing, it was truly wonderful in terms of dynamics so much so that I applied on the different concert presets I made. modification of the micing in some presets (only a few ones), as for example on the "NY Steinway D Classical". modification of the presets orders, also an aesthetic choice. various small modifications in the presets such as voicing, hammer hardness, hammer noise, volume (normalization), etc., general revoicing, both at the 'factory' level (not visible in the UI) and at the preset level (visible in the Spectrum profile NE of some presets in Pianoteq PRO), making the sound of individual notes nicer and fuller from ppp to fff, adjustment of the hammer hardness, to have a better progression and timbre dynamics from ppp to fff, adjustment of the quadratic modes, some were a bit too hot at fff, adjustment of the longitudinal modes (responsible for the 'buzzing' sound): in the bass and medium range, some were a little bit too pronounced, Here are some details on the work done on the NY Steinway D (quite a similar work was done on all revised pianos): I didn't understand the criteria used to place Classical in first on NY's list and Jazz in first on HB's list. Less power, sound is fading faster.Īnother thing I didn't understand was why the order of the presets is different, the Prelude is no longer the first in several models. Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems to me that Decay is shorter on all pianos, especially the NY Steinway. The Hammer Hardness (piano) was set to 27 instead of 30. The effect gain was increased from +1 to +2 In addition, the reverb setting was also changed from Small Hall to Concert Hall But the HB Steinway Model D preset remains with just two. There are now 4 active microphones instead of just two. The miking parameters of the NY Steinway Model D preset have been modified. I hear this particularly if I just press and hold a bass note on one of the Steinways. The notes seem to evolve differently in space, almost as though I can hear them rippling across the soundboard and evolving. I must admit that I have not had the time to play Pianoteq over the past month, so I may be hearing things that were present in version 7. I agree that the sound seems more natural. Something is better, but can not put it into words, in any case I'm happy.
I think I hear a fuller sound with 7.50 (with my old ears). I compared my piece ”Adagio covid and omicron” (Petrof Mistral) using the new version 7.50 and the old version. The revoicing is very good Steinway D, NY and HB are more direct.
Preview: for advanced users, Pianoteq can be remote controlled with a JSON-RPC api when started with the "-serve localhost:8081" option. Unsaved MIDI mappings can be restored from the midimapping menu, in options / MIDI. Metronome volume and speed are now MIDI controlable. (Standard & Pro) New temperament menu entry for importing the current MTS-ESP tuning as a Pianoteq tuning.įixed sostenuto pedal when used with diatonic mode.ĭelay reduced when playing with the Celeste pedal at a very low velocity. It is now possible to disable external tuning (MTS-ESP, MIDI tuning) in a preset.Įxternal tuning can switch between continuous (sounding notes are re-pitched) and new notes only (sounding notes do not change).Įxternal tuning now sounds much better when the amount of retuning applied to notes is large.
