Topic: Pianoteq through your piano speakers/soundboard

Hi all,

I sometimes use PTQ through the soundboard on my CA97 (line-in).

It sounds fairly decent, I can live with it and have no major complaints.

However, I pretty much like more the way PTQ sounds on standard studio monitors.

I wonder if there's any way to tweak PTQ in order to let it sound on my CA97 as similar as possible to the monitors (active speakers).

People who do play PTQ through their piano sound system (whatever brands i.e. Yamaha, Casio, Roland etc.) may want to share their settings and see whether it helps somehow.

Thanks in advance.

Same problem for me too.
The new model B sounds great through my headphones but not through my Clavinova CLP 575, so I've ordered some monitors.
I have uploaded the FXP I have been tweaking for ages for my Clavinova, its on the FXP page if any use, called Steinway Clavinova.

Appreciate it Steve, I'll have a look on it, though I'm afraid this FXP will be most useful for those who own your same piano indeed.

It would also be helpful maybe to share some guidelines like how to set the equalizer or any other specific parameters when using PTQ on piano speakers/soundboards, since the rest of users then can try to adapt them to their instruments.

Use one microphone, do not use a delay, do not use the reverb. Try playing parameters "cutoff" and "Q".

Sounds senseful, will try it later on.

EDIT: Tried it and didn't work for me. I guess the speakers on the CA97 are set up in such a way that they suit the requirements of the onboard sampled pianos, maybe even colored with some sort of filters or whatsoever to enhance those samples, the thing is that those speakers don't - obvioiusly - behave like studio monitors so I'm kinda unlikely to get PTQ sounding on them as nice as on studio monitors.
