My Desert Island Piano VST - VI Labs Modern D

pipAT

pianow Well, they make clothes in different ways. PTQ may have more PhD holders than sampled piano developers do. The way I see it: PTQ uses knowledge of math and physics to model pianos and doesn't record so many samples . Sampled developers use their experience of recording, mastering techniques etc.

People could build houses with wood, bricks, concrete, steels as well as 3D print materials. PTQ is synth-like. Sampled ones are like brick-based walls. Both are difficult to handle. I appreciate all their devotions to the development of piano as a wonderful musical instrument.

David Lai the great Modern D

Wow!

The poor baby isn't even 48 hours old yet and already has cult status.

HZPiano Haha, from my experiences, this is it! Like I said as the thread title, this is my "desert island piano VST," meaning that if I could do a digital setup on an island, this and this only is what I'll bring with me.

Hi,

My favorties mics:

C414 and Hammers M49 with Convolution Reverb

but i've open a ticket ofr the SR resonance not working between pedal down/up transitions when keys are still down when you release pedal : they want a midi example ? strange it's so easy to reproduce…. don't understand.

They have to fix that, with a checkbox option that allow the engine to play SR resonance samples even when pedal is down to allow SR resonance transition between pedal down up.

They are afraid about CPU ? just add it as option…

but don't understand why they ask me a midi and example ? they don't see the SR problem ?

anyway this Piano sound magical.

Regards,

Olivier W. Frappier


David Lai

OlivierW Thanks for sharing your new preset.

I've discussed with them, and yes, it's helpful to provide a midi example, I do this all the time. I've also provided a midi example for them.

Meanwhile, if you have Modern U, it behaves exactly what you describe regarding sympathetic resonance.


HZPiano

David Lai if I could do a digital setup on an island

Bring a generator that runs on coconut milk/oil.

OlivierW

David Lai it's important for me. I want it in Modern D, as an option if they are afraid about CPU


pianow

imagine vilabs sample a fazioli f308 next

Pete14 Perhaps this goes without saying, but Pianoteq does offer this “minor” detail, and I’m not 100% certain, but it might even allow note-per-note control over partials & fundamentals (perhaps one of you could check for this?)

It does (in the pro-version).



Infinito

Oh my god! I will buy it instantly. Was waiting for this for a long time...

Never liked Ravenscroft.

I am a proud user of Modern U already, with that, this one, and keeping my Bosendorfer in PianoTeq I have the end game (With VPC1)

Such a great day!


David Lai

Infinito I'm very happy for you! I think they've really done it with the Modern D. And it's a great piano for productions as well as for practice.


Pete14

Infinito Oh my god! I will buy it instantly. Was waiting for this for a long time...

But won’t you at least give it a “test drive” before committing?

Surely, VI-Labs must offer a 30-day free trial?


David Lai

Pete14 Hi Pete. If you're didn't get the memo already, there's a thread I hope you'll read before returning here and posting daydream-like posts, thanks.

Pete14

Sadly no demo version. None of the piano libraries I’m most interested in have trial versions (Premier Kawai Legend, Garritan CFX and Ivory 3).


Pete14

David Lai

Deflection, a common strategy……”look at the other hand, Pete.”

But thank you for your “non-answer,” because now I know that VI-Labs doesn’t offer a free trial, but do you know who does? 😁

Okay, I’ll see you at “the other thread,” for it seems like my objective perspective is no longer welcome ‘round here!


David Lai

Pete14 Okay, I’ll see you at “the other thread,” for it seems like my objective perspective is no longer welcome ‘round here!

Nope, not here. You've been digressing, and introducing a synth into the thread. I'm only moving discussion topics to related threads. So, have a good read there before you post, as your default position is known well by me, and I don't want to hear another praise of PianoTeq from you! Read it my concerns, listen to the video, and bask in the synthetic qualities of this "piano" sound. You're welcome!


pianow

David Lai and I don't want to hear another praise of PianoTeq

pianoteq is great and it sounds identical to real acoustic pianos, and i need a doctor RN


David Lai

pianow LOL, it's alright… I'm tired of blind PianoTeq worship and dreaming, too. I'm glad we have more beautiful sounds to listen to on the likes of Modern D. And the almighty acoustic itself, which you can find in performance halls and professors' studios.
