FXP corner upload questions

Thanks Qexl,

In the comment I wanted to clarify what I was trying to do, so it seems like there's 120 character limit in the "Give a short description:" field, and I've seen comments longer than that when I press the "i" info button in a table entry, do you know how that's done? Well I guess failing that I can always follow up here with a post. I've scooped up lot's of FXP presets, including most of yours, looking for the sound I've been trying to emulate. It took me brief while to figure out how you did "C. Bechstein DG Submarine", the power of the Spectrum Profile, which incidentally, is no small part of my trying to create my preset. I believe I read a comment of yours regarding types of mics and their placement to sculpt the sound, I wondered if they can adjust the attack, and still preserve the other dynamics, like volume? These tech details are not my forte, but we struggle on

Update: figured it all out, and uploaded https://forum.modartt.com/file/108x3o1r, so you can see if its any good

The convolution reverb “Cakewalk Perfect Space” v 1.4 came with a chunk of IR .wav files, “Hard Stage” is just one of them, which I’ll use in Pteq and otherwise.

The main Equalizer is meticulously tedious, take 2 samples, 1 reference (Akai), 1 target (Pteq) and create a matching EQ curve, use a 100% match amount, and smooth the curve to a percent where eq points (freq & dB) can be identified, and then comes the tedious part documenting them. A 0% smoothing, though maybe ideal, is too complicated and typically beyond the dB range. The matching can be done with iZotope Ozone, but getting accurate eq points may not be so easy it depends on the version and a creative use of the vst’s available eq controls ...   

For the spectrum profile checkout this post for basic details: https://forum.modartt.com/viewtopic.php...31#p966231

The initial profile can be a tad extreme so, in order to rescale an 88-note profile I wrote a simple program to accomplish the task, which incidentally doubles to rescale an EQ curve!

Now the “Res”, for this I checked out various reference (Akai) notes with Voxengo’s SPAN to see the lingering frequency center for the decaying spectrum, and initially made a simple res & duration, but finally borrowed Amen Steinway B Gentle (Res) Borrowed.fxp res & duration, which was in the ball-park and to my ear sounded good.

All my secrets revealed

First no thanks are necessary, you share your presets!

I'm not a preset maker perse, I just missed the Akai tone, but with only 4 velocity layers the dynamics can be abrupt, hence the desire to make a Pteq version, which I hasten to add comes close but no cigar! Any way I have one more version "Steinway D Akai Splendid Grand II", slightly gentler in which the Spectrum Profile was taken and created in a somewhat different manor, plus an Eq3 tweak. I wasn't planning to upload but if you're interested I will...

Okeydoke, will do
