My Desert Island Piano VST - VI Labs Modern D

David Lai

SH4DOW Glad to hear it. Yes, this is a very faithful presentation of a New York Steinway. Remember to play around different microphones, adjust the resonances, ETC. You'll be able to find a good sound and play. Save a preset for yourself, or a daw project, and then you're good to go.

that's actually completely normal, idk what to say

sometimes used pianos has a more complex sustain, and longer decay
but this one is brand bew (the steinway they've sampled is)
so it's normal

pianow

SH4DOW never noticed that short of a decay using other VST's like Garritan CFX, Pianoteq

well not only that garritan is a cfx (so there's no logical reason for a direct comparison to the steinway d)
but it's also a somewhat used piano, they've recorded thousand of things with it before sampling it so that's to be expected
as i said the modern d is a sampled version of a very new and fresh steinway d

about the pianoteq, that thing isn't natural when it comes to decay, you can play a chord in the lower octaves and you'll see

dickiefunk i can run 3 mics , just change the Memory buffer in UVI workstation. Run wirh 3% CPU on my m2 Mac.

OlivierW

pianow yes, the Pianoteq decay Main Tone is not natural but the resonance is very good when sidechained with real sample Piano in Logic 11 or Reaper. Even better than Ivory 3 resonance

Wonderful phrasing. Congrats. I think this is probably one your best recordings (who cares about the wrong note at the end? I certainly don't…)

Do you have the same Nocturne recorded with VSL (or VSL with pianoteq)? I briefly searched your posts and could not find it… The same piece played by the same hands on the same controller is the best way to compare tone and VST adaptability.

I was going to post exactly these two videos, as thrown at me by the YouTube algorithm.

I like these! A welcome addition to/diversion from the classical context we've been in so far.

Cheers!

HZ

PS: Also not buying now.

David Lai

HZPiano Well, yes, he's a great player, and he knows a thing or two of what he's talking about, haha. 🙂

Thanks for sharing, HZ!

watched these last night, the guy was really impressed with the quality of the modern d

that's amazing, 99% of the online impressions are positive and most of the pros are buying it right now

OlivierW Very balanced and playable, with player C414 mics and others mics, without mod a lot velocity curve with my Yamaha N1X.

Thank you, that sounds promising.

OlivierW

pianow thanks 🙂 this Steinway is incredible. My N1X is now a Steinway 🙂

OlivierW

johanibraaten yes it's the fist VST/AU that don't need velocity fix. Good out of the box

now i use : This settings

Please to be sure to set your UVI Workstation or VST, to the right buffer and Settings i can reach 3 mics :

CyberGene

OlivierW seems like this is an evolution of my preset but it also adds third set of mics. I will test it.

David Lai

So we now have the man behind the tune Late Night Rant doing a video playing through all the mics and with some tips and tricks on the screen. Hope this is useful to someone.

OlivierW This is very close to my current settings as well, although I substitute the close mic for the hammer and use the "Pink Concert Room" reverb, which has a funny name (why is it Pink?) but sounds very warm and inviting to me.

Like you, I don't find much need to adjust the velocity curve settings as it plays very well right out of the box on my Numa X GT.
