Create a simple, loopable track and whilst is plays and plays and plays tweek the Pianoteq parameters to achieve the sound you want then save as preset...
In the following example I have taken the NY Steinway Square Piano (Original) with an initial change to 440 and Well-Temperament
The loop sounds like this:

And changed various parameters to give it a more youthful flavour, particularly with regard to the soundboard and unison width to get this:

You may prefer the original as set by Modartt.
I just happen to be more interested in what the composer might have heard and been inspired by when it was 'fresh from the artisant's workshop', not the old, dried out, dusty, detuned shadow of it's former self we see and hear in museums today.
I might upload a 'performance' on the present later ...
]]>Custom FX
Easy instrument switching
Layering
Quick A/B-ing of sounds
Playalong tracks (midi/audio)
Easy recording of performances
Easy panning of audio tracks for multiple instances (layers)
I use Ableton to play PT8 usually two with different EQ profiles for left and right.
]]>It's a useful tool as demonstrated by so many here - thanks for all your input and encouragement.
]]>Another simple example...
Cubase, for some bizarre reason doesn't allow for curved tempo curves - you can have straight ramps and steps - no parametric curves!
Well, there's always a way... The exported tempo map reveals an xml object and this can be created using MS Excel...
Here's a simple demo...

As the good book didn't say "Get thee behind me Synful plugin!"I suppose we can all salute your dedication. Oh No! Don't do that: I'm over 60, fat and lazy!
It's always there to install again when you want to add/learn some wind, brass and strings arrangement. True!
As I said before, "Thanks for sharing the link and info..."
Heh heh, none of us are perfect.
If you are still trying to learn new things at 60 that's not so lazy.

To use it with the now free Synful Orchestra synth!
https://www.synful.com/It ain't sampling or physical modelling but in the right hands this synth technology is right up there, especially considering it's age.
What a great gift - thanks for pointing it out for everyone !
I downloaded and installed it and had a quick play... then I uninstalled it as I will have to shelve this for the moment as it's too tempting and will definitely take time away from more important considerations at this time.

This is a necesitated redo of an earlier experiment. GSi's plugin "DRUM-80" doesn't remember it's setting you have to save a preset - Grrr! Still using my 'new' favourite DAW - Cubase Pro 12 though.
The original (for comparison) is to be found here:

]]>The original recording (see blue/red vertical lines under filter)
Here's the filter applied (giving a smoother / less dynamic recording - great for mixes perhaps)
Here's what it sounds like:

Here's the opposite effect with a different curve (much more dynamic to the point of being almost annoying)

JUST A THOUGHT: Using MSS as opposed to EQ and the like you are retaining the original character of the instrument! Just a thought...
