Topic: Toto - Hold the line

Hi all,

I want to break my piano keyboard with Hold the line by Toto and am looking for suggestions on what Pianoteq piano might be a good fit for this song.
Thank you very much in advance!

Guessing the cp80. Best of luck

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

In their video for the song it's probably a CP70, so a CP80 which sounds virtually identical lathered in FX as both nearly always were in commercial records.

Actually what's on the recording isn't blindly obvious in that regard - it could be a regular acoustic piano. In the 70s and early 80s using an electric grand on stage was easier for touring, not necessarily what they used in the studio.
The main thing is to use flange and chorus effects, EQ and compression controls to match.

In the recording there is a lot of brightness and compression. Maybe a bright grand plus a reed piano as an alternative. The nonfree instruments are ahhh very nice for sound tweakers with pro pianoteq
