1.Steinway D-274 great setting 12/19/2020 1:10:59 AM

Thank you Buz1984. Your help is much appreciated and got me on track- Cheers!

2.Steinway D-274 great setting 12/17/2020 9:43:28 AM

I recently came across a YouTube clip showing a rendering of a file using the Steinway D-274 which I liked very much. However, the uploader summarized his setting in abbreviated form and I cant quite understand them. is anyone able to translate (or make a patch) based on the following?? 

Room-mix /-3/Stereo -100%/No EQ/No Reverb/

Condenser /0/Stereo 50%/6000Hz~ -4db/-6/

Mid /-5/Stereo -70%/No EQ/No Reverb/

Here is the Youtube link  https://youtu.be/gNrFS28Zu1I

Thanks guys!

3.D-274...Will I .. Won't I. .?!? 5/15/2020 10:04:12 AM

Thank you, Guy for your input.

I really appreciate your response and am very happy to report that your suggestion of that minor adjustment has really transformed the sound to a very comparable result.

I am relieved that I the D-274 is a piano that lives up to its name. Like I said earlier, I have been mislead in the past by other software that really does not produce the promised result. 

 

However, I am extremely impressed by the D-274 and am more and more surprised by its ability to produce a realistic sound. It really leaves everything else behind!

Much appreciated.

Hi Paul, Thank you for your quick reply.

Did you listen to the link I attached?  https://youtu.be/c_MiC_i1SWk

I have triple checked that my settings and they are precisely the same as those you have supplied. However, the question still remains – Why does the result differ so drastically??

To be honest I don’t have the patience to go through the process of buying yet another software ( and awaiting shipment of the eLicenser etc etc)  just to find that I have once again I have bought  another virtual piano that has been misrepresented on the retailers website.

I am happy to send you my midi file for you (or Guy Bacos) to produce a result that is at least similar to that featured on the VSL website.

Please let me know if there is something that I may have missed… However like I said my setting’s are in line with those you have provided.

Regards,

Carl

Hi Paul,

OK..Here is the situation. I have just bought  and downloaded the Steinway D-274  (standard) . From your reply to my previous question I am lead to believe that  the Demo of  the Chopin Etude Op 10 no 4: by Guy Bacos was produced using a default setting of the Steinway D-274 . (Concert - Room Mix) . However, After loading a midi file (same etude) I am only able to achieve a very different result. I realise that there are velocity curves to consider etc but I dont believe that this  would result in such a different outcome.  I have based my purchase on the fact that the demo was indicative of the "out of the box" capability of  the software.- As I indicated in my previous communication , I have been let down too many times by virtual pianos that promise one thing but deliver another. Please listen to the following  uploaded clip of what I mean - and I would appreciate your reply outlining how I would achieve the same (or remotely similiar result) using the same default settings as per the Guy Bacus example on your website. Here is the link https://youtu.be/c_MiC_i1SWk   My version  starts at 17 seconds, Thank you. 

6.Educational Discount 4/12/2020 10:54:14 AM

Thanks Paul,

Super keen to get my hands on the D-274. I will keep an eye out for any further updates regarding specials.

Hopefully the wait won't be toooo long :)

7.Educational Discount 4/12/2020 10:44:39 AM

Hi All,

Im sure I recently read somewhere that there might be an educational discount coming soon for students/teachers with some of the Synchron range. (Due possibly other companies etc running specials due to the current CV-19  lock down situation etc)

Im particularly interested in the Concert D-274 piano. ...I'd surely be happy of I didn't have to wait until the September sales.

Can anyone confirm this?  It would be great if VSL did offer this...

Thank you Paul,

So from what you are saying I can be assured that the Chopin Etude Opus 10 No 4 demo is not one that has had extra post rendering EQ work done. 

If this is what I can expect from using this particular preset (with slight tweaking) then I am certainly impressed!

Quick question re standard vs full.. do they both have the same amount of velocity layers? If so - how many?

Thank you again!

9.D-274...Will I .. Won't I. .?!? 3/23/2020 11:18:12 AM

Hi All VSL users,

I am on the verge of buying the D-274 Steinway but just need a little more reassurance. 

I have listened to the demos' and have found one (that is to my ears) the perfect sound for what I want.

On the page https://www.vsl.co.at/en/Synchron_Pianos_Bundle/Concert_D#!Demos I particularly like the Chopin Etude Op 10 no 4 recording.  Is anyone on the forum able to produce a similar sound? 

If so I will buy the software it tomorrow! Is this quality of sound a result of the software only or is there much EQ work done to achieve it? 

I just wanted to make sure.. as I have bought to many pianos that promise so much but just don't deliver without a huge amount of post production sound engineering. 

Thanks!
