There is a Steinway-B too, if you didn't noticed
I once wondered if would be nice to use just the strings vibration of any pianoteq models, and by moprhing transplant just the vibration into the CP-80 to use it with the internal amplify through the circuits. It would be like adding, for example, the Steinway-D strings (plusbody ressonance and vibrations related to string vibration) together the CP-80 circuits.
About CP70, maybe it's easy for Modartt to adjust CP-80 to behave very close to CP-70. But they would need to study the CP-70.
Time to experiment! Thank you
The key difference between the CP70 and CP80 is the fact the CP70 was a 76 (if memory serves) piano, the CP80 was a full 88 note instrument, so when you come across VST's emulating the CP70, you're thinking it's an 80 but it's not as the base notes and final upper octave are stretched in most cases. There were a few other changes which defined the CP80 as the ultimate electric grand and I have to say, I've used both software instances and the real CP80, there's just something unique about the CP80 and if I had my chance to find one and own one again, I'd do it. Saying that, the CP80 within Pianoteq is a nice example.
I've been playing around with the CP-80 'line output' model and pairing it with Native Instruments Guitar Rig 6, to experiment with different amp sims and effects. I've got some fantastic results with this combo! (I was trying to emulate the sound of Keane's Yamaha CP70B they use on a lot of their songs). I'm not quite sure what the differences are between the CP80 and CP70B in order to tweak the model to make it sound a bit closer. I believe the CP70 has slightly shorter strings, but not sure what else I would have to change. Any input appreciated!!
