Topic: Erard-Pleyel fxp posted

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

Both FXPs are well-done, bringing forward a comforting feel of nostalgia...use one in a movie score, anyone?

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

Hmm, I can't decide which blend I like better - well, they're just different! To me the 3-piano blend seems slightly 'heavier'.

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

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
