A quick question to jenpal and @David B 🙂.
In your demos on Youtube, the tone seems much cleaner (less vintage? less "untuned") than mine. Is it because you added some compression?

Thanks for your feedback.

Florian75 No compression on mine.

jenpal Well played and uplifting 😊

For the VSL Concert D 1887 video above, I have not added any compression, and it was recorded raw and exported directly from Synchron Piano Player as a WAV file. I also used David’s patch for the Concert D 1887 except for the velocity curve. However, for some of my other YouTube videos, I used Ableton Live Standard for layering other sounds and Ozone 11 Advanced with its available presets for mastering.

Jay Lane Well played and uplifting 😊

Thanks Jay. 😊

Many thanks to both of you for your quick answer 😀

Thanks, Florian75. Just bought the VSL Bluthner Full version at 50% off. For some reason, I prefer the vintage pianos recently, and will be playing this in alternate with my VSL Concert D 1887. 😎

jenpal Just bought the VSL Bluthner

Enjoy!

A couple of years ago I was in love with this VSTi for quite some time. I never got to purchasing it though -- I wasn't prepared to expand my computing power towards satisfactorily running such a huge library. I still am not, by the way.

But the sound I heard in trustworthy demos (in particular those by @Gamma1734 ) really tickled me in a good way. I don't very often have that with piano VSTis.

Cheers and happy playing!

Thanks, HZ. 😊

I also saw Gamma’s YouTube video about the Bluthner instrument. It was actually his demo that made me appreciate the instrument. I had been considering this VSTi before, but Gamma mentioned it’s best for late romantic music, so I didn’t prioritise it yet then. 🤔

I played it for a bit, and I love the tone of the VSL Bluthner. It’s quite different from the Concert D 1887. 🥰
