Olivier,

It sounds great. The idea to use samples for the attack and Pianoteq for reasonances is tempting.

Could you please explain the process of what you did there in détails? Especially, is it a question to send the sampled piano into Pianoteq ? And how to set all of that?
I don't have the Modern D but I would like to try that with the Ravenscroft or the Noire.
I use Reaper as DAW.

Massimo,
I was a fan of your demo of the Vintage D some years ago.
Your composition is very nice.
I am glad to meet you here,

Stam

I'm curious to hear your opinion about my idea of use a good Bosendorfer Imperial sampler combined with pianoteq Bosendorfer 280VC.

Why not try to use pianoteq Bosendorfer 280VC and PMI Bosendorfer 290 together, using pianoteq ressonances?

Would Modartt accept to create an special 280VC preset with extended keys, to match the 97 keys (extra bass) of Model 290?

Well...The reviews at the time was quite positive:

I want to know if it's possible to add Modartt's living ressonances to the upright Steingraeber by using pianoteq upright Yamaha.
First need to bring Yamaha upright closer, set same unison adjust, same damper breaking point, similar hamer hardness distribution, bring each model's dynamics closer etc...

I always felt pianoteq needed a charming old upright like that.

I found some of those to have baked in unpleasant resonances in the samples on some of the keys. No amount of EQ fixed it. No such issues with Pianoteq.

Maybe at some point Modartt will do brand specific uprights to go with the grands?

I'm almost surprised they haven't started done that already. So much on their plates though. Maybe something to come in version nine or ten?

Hi Olivier

I was wondering...
What if you try to use pianoteq ressonances with a very old piano sampler? Would pianoteq ressonances woks like "adding rockets to an old VW Beetle", turning the old libraries into very high quality VST intruments?

I believe NI Akoustik piano would be an nice test. It have an feature that was inovative for VST pianos back then, since it allowed creation of intermediary velocities between the 10 recored layers.
It have Steinway D, Bosendorfer 290, Bechstein 280, and an upright Steingraber.

Wow! Thank you!

Gig Performer has a built in midi filter to make a virtual instrument monophonic. You can also choose to use the lowest note or highest note when multiple notes are played. I haven’t been able to find that in MainStage yet. Do you know how to do that in MainStage? Do you have to use the Scripter?

Wow! Thank you!

Sounds lovely. Is it possible to incorporate your script in live performance software like MainStage or Gig Performer?

Hi,

I've just uploaded presets for Apple Mainstage :
