Hi,
I am having Soniccouture Hammersmith Pro and I like ist sound in general very much. However, I get some strange resonances, which sound quite unpleasant, especially in headphones. When I listen to audio examples on the Hammersmith's page, I do not hear any such artifacts at all.
For...
Really enjoying this Piano plus other instruments.. they should change the name I guess since it does run harp, guitar, steel drums and more.
To me this is Piano sounds great and it's kind of fun to layer and morph with other instruments.

Hello, I like using Noire and Una Corda with their mechanical noises.
Note on velocity makes the mechanical sound louder or quieter, which is what you would expect.
The mechanical release sound however is always at maximum volume, regardless of the note off velocity.
On a real piano you should...
I think this was like a 2nd piece I ever seriously composed from the years back. Recently found the old project on my HDD and decided to release it.
Released today :)
Hello,
I haven't posted here in a while.
Here is my latest track. It started as a piano only composition while messing with my keyboard but I ended up giving it an orchestral arrangement as it was quite "military".
I would love some thoughts. What would you have done differently ?

Ok, so this is embarrassing, but I've never programmed in KSP, so bare with me please.

Hello all,
Currently I have two piano libraries, Art Vista Malmsjo GVI and Pianoteq. In the past when I've worked with piano and orchestra it has mostly been a more close-mic'ed "intimate" piano, but now I'm starting to need to place the piano back in normal orchestral stage placement, so it...

Ok so this is probably a dumb question, but are there any plugins that use piano to give reverb?
For example pianos have aliquot strings (extra unplucked/unstruck strings) that give it extra depth and color by vibrating alongside the other struck strings.
Also, as they have such a big body...
