    Excellent Guy!

    I wouldn't have suspected for a second that this was a sampled instrument. To be able to play like that.  [:(]

    Look forward to the videos.

    P.S.  Op25-11 cuts out at 3:28 even though it downloaded to 4:11

    All classical so far, still hoping for a contemporary/modern piece.

    Contemporary pop or contemporary dissonant... Ligeti...?

    Pop please.  Even one demo would be helpful.

    Sorry Guy, I hadn't heard your demos, just the Saint Saens with the bassoon and was just hoping for more isolated piano, but now I see you've done that with little or no reverb, thanks, Gary

    Any chance that some of the Bösendorfer Imperial demos could be re-rendered with Vienna Imperial for comparison?

    I'm going to be starting to write a piano concerto sooner or later so if there was an orchestral demo I would very likely buy this.

    I've been working on Tchaikovsky piano concerto no 1,  1st mov, about 10 min. Should have it here any day now.

    Thanks Guy, it should be easy to compare with the other Boesendorfer Imperial demos then.

     Here is another wonderful Chopin Etude op 10/3 which demonstrate very effectively the dynamic range of the Vienna Imperial.

    Jay Bacal supported us with two versions, player and far perspective.

    What a great joy to listen to this Etude Jay.  I especially liked the programming in the melodic section, absolutely perfect!

    Hi to the forum,

    just wondering about the midi file of the Chopin Etude in E major done by Jay. In opening it there are several tracks with names such as

    top right piano - Vienna Imperial - Player Position, middle right, bottom left, and so on.

    Just wondering what these track names mean if you could please let me know. Is it just one piano playing, and not more than one for this demo , [I am guessing that it is so, but just wondering about that also].

    Also, an excellent performance to Jay!

    Thanks if you can answer my questions regarding this.

    best regards,

    Steve[:D]

     Hi Steve,

    I find it easier to adjust the voicing of the separate musical lines (melody, countermelody, bass, middle voices, etc.) by breaking the piece into separate midi tracks for each musical line.  Feel free to merge the tracks together if you prefer.

    Best,

    Jay

    question.....are there randomizations for each note of each layer?
  • JBacalJ

     I didn't use computer generated randomization on this piece.   But I did draw the note velocities by hand (and by ear) so there is inherently some randomization.
