Best compliment Modartt could receive?

amazing!

could you share with us how you captured the IR (is that 'impulse response'?) for that room?

Thanks y'all!

I coordinated with a local high school to let me in the gym at 5am on a weekend. (Basketball team would start practice at 7.) I brought one of my studio monitor speakers, played back a rising sine wave tone, captured it with a small condenser stereo pair. Basically followed the instructions for Waves IR. The speaker was maybe 6-10ft away from a wall, and the mics near the middle of the court, a good distance away.

Had to go back to the session. EQ was a slight cut to the lows around 100hz, MASSIVE boost to the low-lows down to 20hz. There's little info there, even +30dB doesn't sound crazy. I probably could've/should've used a sub generator. Modest cut in the mids around 700, massive boost to the highs pretty much everything above 3k. Similarly, not much info beyond 7 or 8k.

It just occurred to me that maybe swapping mics would've broadened the frequency response. I once toyed with the different mics and preferred the tone of the default setup. Though I wasn't looking at a spectrum analyzer or listening for hifi-ness.

I'll have to look into the IR files. Don't know if they're usable with anything other than Waves IR. They were of the sweep variety, not the clap or bang type.

Congratulations! Pianoteq is a real instrument. The True modeling.

Bravo Beto-Music !

I have probably said something like this a long time ago, but in that case I say again, as my compliment to Modartt,

I remember that I learned something from my pupils. They wanted to do things at speed that was comfortable for them, in own pace. I think Modartt have their own schedule and have found the place in the sun. And they are surrounded by us in this forum -  hopefully we give them a gentle push every now and then and help them keep the enthusiasm   Yes, the enthusiasm is important.

Best wishes,

I would also like to see what Modartt could possibly do with virtual wind instruments, if they are sensible with pricing,  like they are with Pianoteq.

Yes, those too, eventually.  Wind, keyboard and drums have appropriate controllers on the market.
Guitars can be played on keyboards, MPE keyboards and wind controllers. MIDI guitar controllers not so much.

One of their team has already been involved with wind instrument modelling. I noticed the same of AAS too, but I would have particularly high expectations in terms of realism from Modartt (and say a fun varied instrument from AAS).
