Topic: New tutorial

Hi all,

we have published a new tutorial on Pianoteq's site:

Why does a piano sound like a piano?

Enjoy!

Philippe

Re: New tutorial

Very nice! Enjoyed it a lot. It's in french, no problem for me of course, but I just wondered if that is an adaptation to my french OS or maybe a wrong link. I don't mind of course but the pianoteq site being all english makes me wonder.

Thanks for the link to the thesis. I'll sure try to read it through. There is also a gold mine of other scholar works at that site...great!

Re: New tutorial

Glad you enjoyed it! As I guess your browser is configured in French, you saw it French, and it will be in English for the other. Et voila

Re: New tutorial

Very nice indeed.  Introducing some of the math elements with motion and sound is very nice.  I hope this will continue to expand and wind up on the home page. 

Kudos, 

Lanny

Re: New tutorial

Oh pardon . . I see it now under support . . then drop down to Tutorials . . .  I will pass this along to some of my music friends.

Re: New tutorial

yes, well done !

Re: New tutorial

Wonderful presentation.

I especially enjoyed the logical progression of steps taken in the tutorial.  Surely the "final product" form of your tutorial belies how difficult it was for you to take a concept and make it look so easy and organized to present!

Cheers,

Joe

P.S.  You may wish to revisit the sine wave tone of Middle C (C4) in your first audio example.  If you listen through headphones, you may hear a soft third harmonic (G5) creeping in to the audio.

Wow, you are right, it is soft indeed (something like -60dB, you have golden ears ) but it's there, thanks for pointing, we will have to eliminate this intruder.

Re: New tutorial

very interesting

Many Thanks

Re: New tutorial

Very nice...


Don't forget Philippe is also a teacher, and  he probably looks for creative ways to teach people about complex themes.

Let me symbolize how difficult it's Philippe's work to create a natural modelled piano sound:

It's difficult as being in the center of the field in a japanese stadium, and figure where is the chinese man in the crowd.

First example revisited, thanks again Joe.

Re: New tutorial

Great presentation: concise, accurate, inspirational, beautiful - like pianoteq itself :-)

Thanks Philippe !

Re: New tutorial

Very good and clear tutorial. It makes me appreciate the task that Modartt faces from its customers demands trying to create the difference between Steinways, Bosendorers, fazioli, Yamahas, etc. How many of us could identify the sound of a piano blindly listening to its sound? I can't.

Re: New tutorial

Very good tutorial. Only in first chapter  "Why does a piano sound like a piano?" , from page "Hammer-string interaction" , I can't hear the sounds samples.

Strange, the same happened to me, but then I tried again and it worked. Maybe the server was too busy...

Re: New tutorial

With me it take two or more "clicks" in the "speaker image" icon to get sound.
