Can I have a request for FXP preset? I'm not really good at piano modeling in pianoteq, but I want to get really close to a sound that produces Roland V-Piano model. Here is how it sounds:

V-Piano also uses piano modeling, so I guess it could be achieved in Pianoteq.
I can even pay for this up to 50$ if someone will be able to reproduce that sound.
Thanks.
Hello Mr. PGPP,
I listened to the above video, and have derived these characteristics of the V-Piano by listening to them:
1) Notice that the player's high notes are panned fairly far left, and the lowest key notes are panned fairly far right. This suggests an AB (vs. BA) preset with the Stereo Width slider raised to a high value.
2) Notice that the dynamic range of the video is quite compressed -- I would suggest a dynamic range setting of only(!) 14 or 16dB. Although this suggestion sounds ludicrous, I am not kidding.
3) All of the video's notes sounded as though the hammer hardnesses were set high, regardless of velocity value.
Noting that you were using the D4 preset, here are my suggestions for you to try:
A) Select the D4 Jazz Recording AB preset as your starting point.
B) Raise the three hammer hardness settings to 1.40, 1.70 and 2.00, respectively, to develop the "clarity" you perceived.
C) Reduce the Dynamic Range slider to 14dB; adjust the overall volume slider such that it doesn't go into clipping when you play with high note-on velocity.
D) In the Sound Recording mode (where you can view and modify microphone settings), increase the Stereo Width slider to 4.50. (The purpose of this move is to make the high notes come from hard left panning, and the lowest notes come from almost hard right panning. Again, no joke intended.)
E) In the Voicing screen, increase the value of the very first slider by 1.40dB in the spectrum profile.

If you find this to be a workable modification, please contact Modartt to obtain jcfelice88keys's mailing address to which to send your $50 reward.
Seriously, these are rather drastic modifications to the D4 Jazz Recording preset; however, these are modifications that I believe will achieve the sound in the youtube video.
