Free to test Reactive Grand Piano - work in progress

[hisefilo]

Hi guys just uploaded a new vi. It's a simple piano with some wave generators added to emulate resonance, release, and to compliment the main piano sound. Plenty of bugs as usual ;)

zip 90mb >> www.sampleson.com/downloads/Reactive_Grand_Piano_0.1.1.zip

An audio demo >> https://soundcloud.com/user-830166644/reactive-grand

Some weird sonud still present and wav loops is not finished

Let me know if you are able to run it. It's macos au and vst. Also snippet below if u want to compile your own

(sorry didn't know how to paste a snippet here) www.sampleson.com/downloads/rgsnippet.txt

Only for macOs?

[hisefilo]

@alexaudio10 yes but you can compile your own version from the snippet I've posted

[resonant]

@hisefilo Snippet doesn't include samples, images...etc And without samples, it couldn't be the same like the macOS versions that you've complied yourself.

Sounds very nice, but without the whole project folder we can´t test it in Windows....
Good work

@remarkablex The samples are in the download file. They are cross-platform, only the VST is OS specific.

Although we probably need the sample map files....

[hisefilo]

@jadg here you go https://bitbucket.org/Filosian/piano1/src/master/ let me know if you are able to compile

[d.healey]

@hisefilo It's asking for account details, do you have an open repo like github?

[hisefilo]

@d-healey sorry! public checkbox missed on bitbucket. now it's public.

[hisefilo]

@d-healey please don't expect fancy coding! or efficient modules usages :) This is what I can do at my level

[jadg]

@hisefilo
Thank you very much, but where are the piano samples?

[hisefilo]

@jadg on the .zip file from the installer. Place the ch1 files into samples folder

[jadg]

@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

[hisefilo]

@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

[jadg]

@hisefilo

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

[jadg]

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?

[hisefilo]

@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

[hisefilo]

@jadg nice one!!!! Will try it
