Thank you so much for this .fpx! C3 is my piano of choice, and after almost 2 years of using Pianoteq, I've never heard the C3 sound so alive! I think this will hold me off until PT4...which still better be soon

Here is a link to an mp3 demo of .fxp of same title which I'm about to post in FXP Corner

http://www.filehosting.org/file/details...Felice.mp3

This may sound strange, but for the very first time I can actually hear the strings!

Hopefully I am not dreadfully mistaken and if the case be that I am not, some of you may hear them too!

WARNING: It's late, I'm tired, my ears are tired so listen with CAUTION!!!

Seriously, I personally like this one. Opinions good and bad coveted!

Chris

I pleased you like the .fxp FJ

I am going to create another one based on what I did with the one you used, and advice from Joe Felice that he posted on the forum last year.

In the mean time, here is a link to a variation on a file that Joe felice created 23 Nov. 2010

Download variation on joe felice's file 23 Nov.mp3 from FileFactory.com

Acknowledgements and thanks to you Joe

herve,
you are very welcome to contact me via the forum email service. I would be happy to help if I am able.
The Dynamics slider is under the Volume slider. For the default C3 Solo Recording Preset it is set to 60.
Hope this helps,
warm regards,
Chris

thank you Chris,

as often, i make a mistake between velocity and dynamic...

herve,

I looked for your concerto, but couldn't find it. What is it called?

Also, when I am at the keyboard, I use a Dynamics setting of 62.
I find that works well. However, it seems to be better to use a
dynamics setting of 60 when playing back the midi file through
pianoteq on my computer, whether listening through speakers
or headphones.

What dynamic setting do you use for each?

Warm regards,

Chris

friend,

like all my writing, i share my music only with my close friends (who were never very many, i recognize to be quite lonely and like it...my ex-wives, and actually, a single girl who play piano) ... but it is true that i already thought to contact you for certainly ask you some advice about the layout of the song that haunts me for the past forty years ... i believe that our deepest thoughts and all "these" live music within us: can not and should not be shared with all rest of people ... i have always enjoyed staying in the shadows and only reveal myself for the few people that i consider worthwhile and trusted...

if needed, and if you agree, i will contact you for advice to arrange my music...

(as my english is really poor, i hope that Google traduce not too badly what i wanted to say

if i understand well: for Dynamics setting, since i own Pianoteq Pro, i use standard velocity, (i cannot make dynamics settings on my vmk 188+ as you may do on your numa nero) but, now, i enjoy the sound of C3 (with some personal tweak) where before i prefer K1...

amicalement votre,
hervé

Oh, and Velocity Curve (NUMA Nero):

Velocity = [6, 19, 34, 87, 100, 112, 127; 0, 11, 29, 98, 113, 123, 127]

For those who are interested, here are the alterations to the original C3...

Equalizer = [123, 283, 505; -0.3, -8.5, -0.3]

Volume = [-6, -6, -6, -6, -6, -6, -6, -6, -6, -6, -6, -3, -5, -8, -9, -9, -8, -6, -7, -6, -7, -7, -5, -7, -3, -8, -10, -9, -8, -7, -6, -6, -6, -6, -6, -6, -6, -6, -6, -6, -6, -5, -6, -3, -5, -5, -5, -5, -5, -5, -5, -2, -5, -4, -4, -4, -4, -4, -4, -4, -5, -5, -5, -5, -5, -5, -5, -5, -6, -6, -6, -6, -6, -6, -7, -6, -6, -6, -6, -6, -6, -6, -6, -6, -6, -6, -6, -6, -6, -6, -6, -6, -6, -6, -6, -6, -6, -6, -6, -6, -6, -6, -6, -6, -6]

Hammer hardness:

Piano 32
Mezzo 85
forte 67

Sympathetic resonance 92

Level compesation: ON (Enabled/Lit)

Reverb: Auditorium audience in this case

I think that's it!
