Topic: 33 samples of Pianoteq 8.4.3. presets

Hi all:

I have prepared a set of samples derived from the last few bars of Chopin's 24th Prelude to give you a quick way to evaluate some of the wide array of sounds available with the Pianoteq 8.4.3. package (especially for the deep bass) . They are available at Bandcamp [https://davidaporter.bandcamp.com/album...43-sampler] for free. Bandcamp is clearly used much more by popular music creators and fans, but it actually useful for streaming (and purchases). You can just click on the play button next to each track (preset sample in this case) and play the entire track (really brief, again in this case). The video is also available at YouTube [https://youtu.be/kKxVDPWXRIY].

Thank you dapperdave for this comparison. Well done! I'm just wondering why not YC5 too. I was waiting and waiting but no, no YC5. Because, there has been different opinions about this piano so it would have been nice to have it in this comparison. Especially the bass sound. There are clearly very different bass sounds in these pianos. You might add YC5 to this too, if I can ask politely. YC5 version 8 sounds better than the first version released 2009!
Maybe those who don't think much of YC5 could be pleasantly surprised. It is the smallest Pianoteq piano with a short string length.

Best wishes,

Stig
