Forgive the question, but is there any way to tell for sure that the update has been successfully installed? I think I did it properly, but it would be great to know for sure. Also, if we had created user presets, will this update automatically take effect if we load such a user preset? Many thanks!!

Hi,
Happy to hear such a positive feedback on the piano update!
@wolfgang: You can tell by looking at the sample content. You will see a file called "SY-Steinway-D_Patches_Update01.vsynvolume" (see attached screenshot), which overrules the existing "SY-Steinway-D_Patches.vsynvolume" (newer file wins).
This file organizes the way the samples are structured and will also affect your existing user presets.
Best,

Can we delete the previous "SY-Steinway-D_Patches.vsynvolume" file, or do we need to keep it with the rest of the sample content even though the Update file has now usurped it? Thanks.
God Bless,
David

Hi David,
You can delete the old patch file.

Nice update. I ended up backing out my MIDI velocity scaling as a result of this change, to a value between 5% and 12% vs. 20% (depending on the piece), but otherwise this update improves the dynamics handling and consequent timbral balance between bass and treble.

I meant to post my tweaks to the pianos a few weeks ago following the recent update.
Several hours were spent on the Steinway, with verification in several jazz projects.
The Yamaha is a work in progress, as I haven't finalized it in a project context yet. File Attachment(s): SynchronPianoPresets.zip (102kb) downloaded 28 time(s).You cannot view/download attachments. Try to login or register.
