Hi dazric,

Yes, I go back and forth myself. The Bechstein does give a bit of weight to the 3-piano blend, as you say, and I like that quality. Now all we need is Modartt to invent a cap or hat to wear when we play that can read our thoughts on the sound we want and make the necessary adjustments automatically!

My best,
Robert

I agree with Philippe that the Debussy that you've chosen is a perfect vehicle to convey the dreaminess potential of your presets.

Thank you, David. You're most kind!

I guess I'm at that nostalgia state of life and maybe the presets reflect that.

Pleased you like them!

My best,
Robert

It dawned on me today that those who don't have the 1899 Bechstein won't be able to use my fxp posted earlier. So, I took the same presets for the 1922 Erard and the 1926 Pleyel and morphed just them together. The weights/ratios are changed slightly.

This way anyone can have access to the new fxp if they like it. I posted the same Debussy piece with the fxp for comparison.

The sound is quite similar with lots of tone colors and resonances.

Have a great weekend everyone!

My best,
Robert
