Hello,
I have tried following your endeavour, but the pictures have for the most part been removed, as has the video on youtube, I couldn't get the videos on your website to run, either. You site potential legal trouble. I wonder what that would entail?
AFAIK you can take stuff apart and show it on youtube, it's being done all the time. I own a car that I work on occasionally and I've posted pics of how to's on forums, and neither the manufacturer nor any other user has ever implied this would illegal. You can even post videos and instructions anonymously in case it worries you.
Would you consider mailing stuff privately?
Thanks.
Let me know what info you need via the forum e-mail service.
Regards,
Chris

(Rough remember). But see how smooth the glissandos on the white keys flow velocity-wise.
I used the QRS Pianomation mode for a better dynamic range.
See what y'all think?

p.s. rough playing 'n al'!
Chris,
Sounds as though you are getting a wide dynamic range. Which preset did you use? Any edits?
Sorry I missed this post Jake. I don't remember the preset, but it might have been the Pleyel? No edits.

how did you know that Beto-Music???
]]>Chris,
If you don't mind me asking, how much do you have invested in this keyboard so far? Do you feel it was worth the time and money? BTW, your sample sounds great. Which piano are you using? Have you shared the fxp for it?
Thanks
Shawn
£ invested = approx. 2,000
Yes I do feel it has and will be worth all the time and cash I've put in. I have learned a lot and already love the feel of the keys and the difference that using optical sensing rather than rubber makes to the whole playing experience. It feels so real to me and as I said before, the action is so much more defined and positive in it's response. And I feel escapement/letoff and am so much more connected with the hammers. It's a bit like the lady who plays piano with bare feet so she can feel the pedal/damper mechanics better.
I am not sure which piano I used but I think it was the Peyel? I am now 1/4 of the way through levelling the keys and will be completely finished within a week. When I have levelled all key's triggers, I will post a demo.
Glad you liked the sample, but bare in mind that that was only a rough PNOscan setup! The finished project will produce much better sounds.
Regards,
Chris

]]>Trigger levelling needs to be done within a week.
One very interesting thing I have discovered today is that unless the keyboard is on a level surface, it is not perfectly balanced. Front too high = black keys easier to depress than whites. When on a level surface, the blacks and whites equalise. This is to do with gravity etc.. The same is true of any piano action. I didn't appreciate this before.
It's a completely different playing experience - so much more like the real deal than before. Beautiful touch and a lovely dynamic range. And as PNOscan is optimised to PianoTeq there is absolutely no need for me to mess around with the velocity curve anymore!
More soon

Chris

]]>All works correctly.
Temporary rough setup completed today. Will post link to demo of this rough setup shortly.
One thing I will alter is the reflectors. They reflect well enough, but I have a more suitable product now which was my second choice originally (the white lugs). Will post more info in the very near future.
Also I neglected to mention that I'd miscalculated the height of the black's reflectors in relation to the white's. That meant that all the whites were pretty level and all the blacks were pretty level, but a big difference between. I didn't think this would be a problem as the installation instructions pointed out that the black keys on a piano dip futher than the whites (generally). It is possible to make alterations calibration wise, but there seems little point in doing so as that is what I was doing with PianoTeq and the Forte, Mezzo hammer hardness compensation attempts. Besides, I can do both in the same action anyway - I mean, change reflectors and height-level at the same time. This way I'll have an even playing feild.
Very happy with progress. Very happy with PNOscan. More work to do but will be worth it in the long run.
Regards,
Chris
]]>It didn't!
Delivery scheduled Monday!!! Gotta wait man!
Mind you, had it been delivered yesterday (Saturday), I probably would not have taken my wife out to see the new 'Jane Eyre' at the flicks! Brilliant film!
As I said in my last post, will let you know when I have PNOscan in my hands!
The most annoying thing about the wait is that as of 3am Saturday, it has been sat in the local delivery depot literally a few miles away!
Never mind eh! I disassemble one of our old garden benches and measure it up for new wood today instead while Sally cooks a roast dinner for us - yum!
Anyhow, less of the trivia, you guys have a great Sunday and I'll report tomorrow.
p.s. if anyone wishes to see a video of the prepared keybed being tested, just send me a forum e-mail and I'll forward a link.
Regards,
Chris
]]>PNOscan will arrive tomorrow (Saturday). NUMA Nero ready for installation. Keys polished and back in position. Action feels different to what I remember. Of course there are no silicone plungers with their contact lugs in the mix any more! I actually feel let-off / escapement - especially in the blacks - but I have not fixed the action back in the frame yet so it is difficult to get a level response throughout. I have put it on the most even surface I could find in the house (kitchen worktop) and it does feel wonderful - very definate. Obviously, I am not going to be able to assess fully until the PNOscan kit is installed. I should have the whole thing completed well before the end of next week!
Will report when PNOscan arrives.
Regards,
Chris
