Topic: Getting the Right Piano Sound - Spin Off

I have been looking at altering PianoTeq's NY Steinway offering to better suit a given vocal timbre...

Now I'm going to look at 'harmonising' vocal timbre, piano to musical genre...

Disclaimer: I know next to nothing about singing, I'm not a singer though I can hold the tune (ie sing in key). So, this will be a real voyage of discovery and I'm sure I'm going to get it wrong along the way - feel free to critique.

The initial voices to try:

Akito (Japanese)
Allen (English)
Asahi (Japanese)
Brian (English)
Lucas (English)
Matthew (Engish)
Naoki (Japanese)
Taku (Japanese)

And here is what they sound like accompanied by Steinway B Wide (Modified: Effects / Microphone):

Enjoy!

Is this Organteq in the background or (Accordionteq?)…. If so, which stops used, which organ, how modified. Would be nice to hear it with a bit more volume…
It sounds really good!

Best wishes,

Stig

Oh Stig,

This is a real accordion and no, Modartt haven't released AccordionTeq... and if they did, I doubt I'd be asked to beta test it, let alone release it on one of my silly postings!!!

This was a disaster and you couldn't really hear the piano !!!

So without stupid drums, etc - here's a clearer delve into piano, musical genre and synth voice setting - after all that's what this spin-off thread is supposed to be about! I just got side tracked into some awful direction.

Enjoy!

Good work DEZ! Disaster is now a gem I like that it is like the singer is a bit away from me, on the stage, and the piano might be between me and the singer but below in front of the stage. I think you understand what i mean. Anyway this is how I experience, feel, it. Thank you.

Best wishes,

Stig
