Topic: YFX Japanese Grand Piano

Another wonderful piano model for Pianoteq!
Thank you, Modartt team.

The YFX is a great addition to the diverse collection of pianos available for Pianoteq each with its own distinctive character, including Modartt's own K2.

Very good first impression… Much more enjoyable than old YC5. A great instrument…
Too bad an agreement wasn't reached with Yamaha, the « placebo » effect would make it even better.

Re: YFX Japanese Grand Piano

Congratulations to the Modartt team on another great instrument in the Pianoteq family.
A piano modeled on the Yamaha CFX has been long awaited and here it is.

I'm happy to see that the lack of an agreement with Yamaha hasn't prevented Modartt from releasing this great piano.
An agreement would have been desirable, and seeing the official logo would have been cool, but I'm sure this doesn't detract from the instrument's quality in the slightest.
Thank you very much for this new instrument, and let's get on with the 'Grand Italian IF308'

Really liking the new YFX; great work!

Re: YFX Japanese Grand Piano

Man you got to like the bass tone, don't you?

Personally, I do with the apparent 'upfrontness' I'm also perceiving in stereo imaging; a noticeable improvement!

Before I forget, yay is what I wanna say, of course to the return of the mic polar patterns, which are back.  (No longer I got to have a copy of version eight (v.8) opened, simultaneously, just for me to choose correctly between the various microphones.)

Some of which again I very easily will distinguish about yay apart from others appearing on my uploaded fxp's.  (Smile.)

Glad to see my ears still serve me well despite the age. I guess nobody will object to the purchase since I guessed right... RIght?

Yep, that was it. Ok, reminder for next time a new product expansion pops up.

Re: YFX Japanese Grand Piano

Fantastic! Just in time for the Black Friday sale (hopefully) later this month.

Not vanilla - concert recording preset with small tweaks but also disabled limiter and lowered reverb, used external reverb and saturators
