![]() In common with all EMU soundcards, the 0404 uses "Patchmix". Two AUDIO cables from the soundcard AUDIO OUT to the piano AUDIO IN (left/right for stereo). One MIDI cable from the piano MIDI OUT to the soundcard MIDI IN.Ģ. Thanks! Yes - I'm doing it right now (well not this instant, but I was ten minutes ago).ġ. I'll be doing this using an E-MU 0404, if it matters. In correlation, could I then kill the sound the piano generates on it's own, so the only audio heard through the piano speakers is that created by pianoteq? I have a Yamaha YDP-223, therefore, is there anyway for me to have the audio that pianoteq creates play BACK through my speakers in the piano using the AUX IN? Not to derail the thread, but a quick question on pianoteq. It shouldn't but for the life of me I couldn't get rid of drop outs unless I increased the buffer size of my TC Electronic 24D interface to a sufficiently large number that minimizes the drop outs but still keeps the lag bearable. I fixed it by using a hobby knife (a narrow bladed box cutter will also do) to shave off about 3/4 of the thickness of the felt pad.Īn alternative is to use a MIDI filter to re-map the foot controller values to 0-127, but that can cause latency issues with your software. The felt pad between the pedal and the case was too thick. The Roland DP-10 was not sending MIDI 0 when not depressed, so I was getting a little bit of damper lift, causing notes to ring a little. Alternatively you can re-wire the controller's plug to reverse the polarity, or achieve the same by re-wiring the pot in the controller itself.Īnd yet another thing to watch for with those darned foot controllers. I was getting no damping with the pedal completely released, and full damping with it depressed! I eventually had to buy a Roland DP-10 controller. I used a Yamaha controller with my Roland A-80, and the polarity was reversed. Oh, a word of caution about continuous foot controllers. Yes version 2.0 is on the way, and has been for some time now. After spending $$$ on those two I eventually dug deep and forked out the money for Pianoteq. ![]() I also had the same problem with Virtual Grand Piano 2.0. Not perfect, but much more than you can do with TruePianos.Ībout half-pedal support, I thought TruePianos had it, which is why I bought it first. They are currently working on v2.0, yes? Here's hoping that they improve their sound engine so I can get a warmer, softer, more Steinway model from it.Įither way, this is an exciting time for modeled I'm saying is that Pianoteq allows you to take any of the supplied or downloaded pianos and then tweak it to your satisfaction. Pianoteq would excel in that area for sure. I play solo piano so I don't really have a need for a bright tone that cuts through other instruments in a band setting. It could go the other way as well - if Pianoteq had the tone of TruePianos I would choose that one! If TruePianos could provide the level of adjustability that Pianoteq provides, I would have my piano model of choice. I like the velocity adjustment in particular in Pianoteq as well as the hammer hardness sliders. My only gripe with it is the the chorus effect that they seem to be using to spread the tone a little wider across the stereo image. I can hear a difference in at least three different pedal positions (pedal fully down, almost all the way up, and pedal up). Right now it's a bit wide for my taste.ĭigitus - TruePianos doesn't support half-pedalling? I was under the impression that it did. First off, I would like to have the ability to adjust the stereo width of the tone. But having more flexability with the four "pianos" in TruePianos would be nice. I have no interest in selecting from a variety of pianos - I prefer to find that ONE piano tone and develop my own sound from that. Can it be that we are now at the future of recording piano?ĭoes anyone here have the full version of TruePiano that can comment on the other three piano models? I never thought a piano model would sound as good or better than Ivory. And the middle and upper registers are very warm - not brittle as I expected. Now when I A/B a MIDI file between Ivory Steinway and TruePiano's Diamond (warm) I lean toward the TruePiano! It lacks a little of the thump that Ivory has in the lower register but it makes up for it with clarity. Wow, was I surprised! I think they've taken modelled piano to the next level. ![]() So I was really expecting the same thing when I tried out the TruePiano. After trying out the Pianoteq piano I, like everyone else, was blown away by the playability of it but felt that the tone was a little too thin for my tastes (I love a nice warm Steinway). While we all wait for the perfect sample library (by perfect I mean with respect to playability) I downloaded the TruePianos demo.
