Topic: "Old YC5" no longer available in v.5?

Is it the case that the "Grand YC5" from the old Rock pianos add on (v.3?)is not usable in V.5 ?

I tried to load a preset from the old YC5 and the message box says the instrument is no longer available and it does not appear in the legacy instruments list.

It's the same case for all v4 instruments. That's why Pianoteq 5 doesn't overwrite Pianoteq 4. Keep both installed side by side for compatibility with your existing DAW projects, and older iteratinos of Pianoteq models.

Hard work and guts!

This specific issue with the message saying that YC5 is no more available when attempting to load an YC5 preset from older Pianoteq versions is a mistake, it will be fixed in Pianoteq 5.0.1

I miss the Clair de La lune mp3 demo.

What about render the midi perfomance with the Kremsegg Bechstein or U4 and K2 and add to the website?

excellent!

Beto,

while the midi for that particular demo doesn't seem to be available (I assume you mean the Hugh Sung one from the Pianoteq 3 examples), many of the other examples are based on the E-Piano-Competition, and sets of midi files from several years of that can in fact be downloaded, starting with the most recent year available here: <http://www.piano-e-competition.com/midi_2011.asp>.

This can (in my opinion) be a great way to try the sound of Pianoteq's various instruments, even with the trial version, on a much broader scope than just any single person's repertory. Only recently discovered these myself, and find them a convenient resource for certain experiments with the instrument settings, if only as a first step, as several aspects can only be judged when actually at the keyboard, taking into account the adjustments (however minute and subconscious some of those may be) we make in our playing based on the response of the actual or virtual instrument.

Maybe some other readers will find this useful.

Best,
Dan

PS: Be sure to use the XPMIDI files and set the MIDI dialect in Pianoteq's options to Disklavier XP.

Thank you for the speedy v5.0.1 fix . My presets from the v4 YC5 are now loading ok in the v5 version
