Free to test Reactive Grand Piano - work in progress
-
@d-healey please don't expect fancy coding! or efficient modules usages :) This is what I can do at my level
-
@hisefilo
Thank you very much, but where are the piano samples? -
@jadg on the .zip file from the installer. Place the ch1 files into samples folder
-
@hisefilo
oh sorry ,no problem I found the hr1 file
Thanks -
I,ve just compiled and it´s okey, but , I have some question for you
Why do you use two separate (L & R) samples and samplers?
Did you run it in your system as a standalone aplication?
I,ve compiled it as standalone app in windows and doesn´t work if not add the MIdiSources and ,MIdiChannels floating tiles in preset. Do you Know that?
I,ve added and works perfectly as standalone app
-
@jadg L&R separation was to archive a wider sound. Same samples but for some reason every time I edited a sample in sampler1 affects sampler2. This is why I duplicated the files. Was my faster way to fix it
Never compiled a standalone version for this piano, and yes, a floating title for midi input will be needed. (have a snippet saved somewhere that does that)
In you opinion, this piano is comparable with which one on the market?? despite you already know how sound is generated/tweaked with syths
-
In my opinion the piano samples are good, but I think the sympathetic efect you are looking for is not found at all. Maybe this effect were better if you use real samples of piano instead sine wave generators.( I know its a lot of work). I think you must set the release time of samples a litlle bigger on simple envelope modules and add some ambience to the sound, because it is too flat or dry. ( maybe with Convolution Reverb).
This is an initial experiment, work in progress as you say and is a good idea. Just a question: The sounds of the harmonic serie that are you looking for are not already present in the samples you have, really?Anyway , very thanks for your interest and amabilty ...
I can bring you the whole folder of the project i´m working at this moment , if you want to take some ideas or what you want....
Thanks -
Just the last thing that pass over my brain:
if you use two samplers , one with a medium o short release time and another with a long release time and lower volume with the same samples do you , (maybe), get something of the sympathetic effect you are looking for?
-
@jadg yes! you are welcome! Id love to see your work :) just push to the repository or post a new one
Sympathetic is already on samples, but I feel like sampling something is like taking picture. You freeze the sound. And I feel magic happens when sound is created dynamically.
I've using this http://www.pianoharmonics.com/pianomap/ for mapping overtones but still working
Release is 80ms, yes maybe 120/130 will be indicated. I love to "mute" sound on release for jazz soloing, but classical does not needs that I think
-
@jadg nice one!!!! Will try it
-
@hisefilo
I doing at this moment some experiments about that you are looking for.i added two more samplers with a long release (something like 2000-3000 ms) (and a little longer attack time ) with the same piano samples in each and use a transposer , one with a 8ve higher and another with a 5th setted in the transposer. the volume in both is set about -15 db. Yopu can add many samplers with different transposers to get the diferents harmonics.
Really sounds well !!!, try it ...
-
i´m uploading the project folder , and you can download it in a few minutes through MEGA .
I preffer this way for the moment, because is only for you. Wait a little -
Do you have the original stereo samples somewhere?
-
@jadg cool! will try it. nice idea
-
@jadg yes, will create a .zip with all of them
