msmcleod Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 I've had the flu for 2 weeks, so I've been limited to playing my Yamaha digital piano when I felt up to it. I got really frustrated that anything I recorded sounded radically different both sound-wise & expression-wise when using any of my usual piano sounds (MiniGrand, AddictiveKeys etc), so I took the plunge and sampled my piano. So here it is, all 88 note's sampled at 7 velocity levels: Kontakt: http://msmcleod.co.uk/sounds/GPiano.nki SFZ: http://msmcleod.co.uk/sounds/GPianoSFZ.zip SF2: http://msmcleod.co.uk/sounds/GPianoSF2.zip The SFZ/SF2 will need a release time of around 0.5 secs. Personally, I find this piano sound radically different from all the others. Hopefully some of you can find a use for it too. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExittheLemming Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 (edited) That's such a generous gesture (you must have Scottish lineage somewhere?)? Just tried it on some classical piano midi files I had lying around and it sounds great (with a very small memory footprint to boot - puts commercial efforts offered by the likes of NI, Pianoteq, Sampletank et al to shame really....)

I have Kontakt Player. Would that work? I don't recognize the other file types. Thanks, very generous of you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't recognize the other file types. Thanks, very generous of you. You need the full version of Kontakt I'm afraid. Kontakt player only plays sounds that have been specially licensed by Native Instruments (which costs money). That's why Kontakt player compatible sounds cost so much. SF2 is a standard SoundFont, so any soundfont player should play that. SFZ will work with Rapture, Dimension Pro, sfz+ to name a few. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeBro Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 I opened the .nki file in Kontakt Player and it sounded really good but plays only for 15 minute sessions. You have to quit Kontakt Player and reload. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Variorum Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Wow! @msmcleod That's a perfectly balanced, clean set of samples! And recorded totally dry (the way acoustic instruments should be ? )... It may be the nicest piano I have now. For the people using the SFZ version (which works great in the Sforzando player, BTW), paste this at the top of the .sfz file to take care of the release he mentioned: <global> ampeg_attack=0 ampeg_decay_zero=0 ampeg_decay=0.005 ampeg_decay_shape=-2.6635 ampeg_hold=0 ampeg_release=0.3 ampeg_release_shape=-4 ampeg_sustain=100 Thanks again!
