That's very kind of you, Bruno. I must thank you more than I can say because my fxp is based on your 1899 Erard posted earlier for version 6. It uses your Spectrum Profile, string length, Effects, Mic, and Equalizer settings. The sound would not be nearly as good without your hard work.

I can't thank you enough!

All the best,
Robert

Great results with this Robert - a wonderful reverb - really has a natural feel and scales naturally with the forceful sections - excellent to hear the Erard piano this way.

Thank you, Qexl. I have you to thank because the EQ Res and EQ Dur are your settings which you posted sometime ago. The Samplicity Small and Near R is set at -4.0. The L position didn't work well.

Glad to hear that the Erard and reverb sound so good through your system.

So, much appreciation to you for your EQ settings!

Cheers,
Robert

After changing my touch curve to normal and experimenting with impulse responses, I found that the Small Hall Near from Samplicty works best for my 1922 Erard fxp. The 1905 piano roll recording by Raoul Pugno was transferred to mp3 from the midi file at the Stanford University Piano Roll Archive. The slower tempo was passed down to Pugno through his teacher George Mathias who had been a student of Chopin.

Here's the result:
