Piano Patch [v1]

sea foam and the wind

0:00:00
0:18:05

Never had a piano, so I decided to build one.

Maybe the beginning of a series of synthesized acoustic instrument patches (?), we'll see.

—

Two humanized MIDI files to introduce the patch's sound design, and to make it easily comparable with real piano performances:

1. Erik Satie - Trois Gnossiennes (60 bpm)

0:00 with Reverb FX

5:28 without FX

2. Richard Rodgers - My Funny Valentine (70 bpm)

11:28 with Chorus FX

—

Tips:

1. Play notes only in the NoteSplitter named 'Keyboard', as the 3 Heisenberg (corresponding to hammered strings, harmonics and hammers) should be triggered at the same time.

2. At the end of the chain, 2 effects and an equaliser are ready for use: 'Chorus FX', 'Reverb FX' and 'Curve EQ'. Depending on the sounds you are looking for, you may have to activate them and to adjust their settings, or to bypass them. These 3 devices are not core elements of the patch but they can add a nice finishing touch.

3. Humanize the notes (right click on the note region) to make it more realistic.

4. If you have any question, I'll do my best to help!

Feedback is more than welcome. One of my main obstacles right now is that, having no piano, I cannot hear exactly how it sounds. While composing with this patch, if you ever encounter some weird noises that do not sound like a piano, please share it with me so that I can fix and update the patch.

Have fun :)

Currently reworking several aspects of the piano patch including brightness, width, LFO, and the mechanism sounds. Might publish the new version this week.

Listening to the demo music in the first track while reading the description made it feel very Machiavellian for some reason lol

  Third track reminds me a lot of Kenny Burrell's playing, I think you'll like him

I played the first gnossienne at piano, I'm really happy to hear it there, and I love the way you play it with the synth !

really nice. 2nd one almost sounds guitarish. very well done as usual

  Thank you, friend :) yeah, I actually came across more guitarish sounds with slight modifications to make it pluckier. I think that the slight chorus makes it warmer like a guitar and the notes in some chord are triggered one after another instead of all together, like when strumming a guitar

also i realized that unisono is set to 4 so it cannot play big boy chords unless i nerf it

  lol seriously, imagine if you press all the keys on a real piano keyboard, not sure if it would sound great either

  When you mean big boy chords, how many notes played at the same time?

as a certified non-expert of piano playing, i'd say this perfectly sounds like a piano and it makes me freaking happy to see you pushing through the FXs and the synths to learn how to make a near-accurate piano, and it makes me so happy having to hear this, and I'm gonna flippin' listen to this from start to finish (definitely helping me with drawing lol)

just flipping beautiful to listen to rn and I'm only two minutes in! ;V;
