Topic: Recreating the Alexander Piano 569cm Grand

Hello everyone! I came across this video before, and I wanted to recreate it ever since I got pianoteq. It takes advantage of the string length and has an amazing bass register, which is why I really want to make it into an FXP file.

Video:

I have tried and kind of failed in making a recreation of it using the SK-EX pack. It's decent but not a one to one recreation of the Alexander Piano.
Here is the FXP:

Could anyone help me learn how to recreate this? And if possible, is there a way to somehow analyze the YouTube video itself to automatically give me a decent spectrum profile?

Any form of help is apprieciated

Interesting thoughts! My preferred way to do this would be to combine several pianos based on their qualities at various registers. It takes a while my way and involves trial and error and testing on various specific systems, but its like a meditation so i don't mind it. I mean the ultimate way to do this would be to hire / fund Modartt itself to use their tools and methods, but I guess thats not as fun. Let us know how it goes. Great to have a project!

MOTU M2 using native ASIO driver, Windows 11, weird tweaks needed to make it work, but seems fine now.
I have posted several times about tweaking Pianoteq
