			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>I&#039;ve been getting good results using this free Saturator VST named Ferox: </p><p><a href="http://www.jeroenbreebaart.com/audio_vst.htm">http://www.jeroenbreebaart.com/audio_vst.htm</a></p><p>Try loading one of the recent S.Erard fxp&#039;s and then, in this saturator vst, use either the preset How About This or the preset Analogue Circuitry Sim. </p><p>At the bottom of the interface, turn the saturation up to around 4 %, give or take a percent. TURN DOWN YOUR VOLUME SLIGHTLY. </p><p>I know that it seems strange, if not simply wrong, to apply an effect that degrades the sound to that of a recording. Consider this as just a way of getting another sound from Pianoteq. Also worth trying, more for a general timbrel change than a change in the bass, is reducing the tape speed. Putting it past the midpoint causes notes to repeat, but in the range of 80% and above, it changes the harmonics quite a bit. Generally speaking, the lower the tape speed, the higher you can raise the Saturation. But be careful about feedback. (One thing that&#039;s nice if you use Cantabile\Cantabile Lite, or a similar program: you can attach these controls to midi cc&#039;s, and thus have new timbrel controls--do try varying these settings along with the parameters in PianoTeq.&nbsp; The saturation and tape speed changes are not needed, but they do offer a very different take on the sound each time you change a PianoTeq parameter.)</p><p>AND: The midrange may not always sound good with this saturator\tape emulator, but try playing fairly hard in the middle of the keyboard. Hit a few low notes both at ppp and at ff--a fat but precise, close sounding bass. The upper treble is interesting too--there seems to be less variation in the timbre from soft to hard strikes, but the sound is its own and worth having as a variation.</p>]]></content>
