Hi Stephen,
I loved the binaural effect you achieved on one of your demos for the Imperial. Any chance you can share the settings you used and/or offer some general advice on how to achieve this?
Thanks,
Michael

Here is my VSL's Pianos Velocity map that reference from Pianoteq 7
why reference from Pianoteq 7?
because I have played quite a lot piano vst and find out that every piano vst have they own touching.
But not for Pianoteq [Physical Modelling Synthesis Plugin] not [Sampled Plugin]
Pianoteq is my BEST about RESPONSE
But I prefer love VSL about SOUND.
So I pull response from Pianoteq to VSL.
"Here is my method."
set E3 [because it's almost a middle note of 88 keys] on Max velocity to calculate sound volume [monitored by Fabfilter L2] compare with Pianoteq 7 which is I miking as close as VSL's Pianos were on "close" mic [I use Ribbon sf24] and disable Repetation Smear for easier look.
using 15 possibillities Velocity [+8 from 0] and set those point by reference from Pianoteq 7.
Edited with Notepad
Hope you love it.

I have Deeply researching it for a month and here is my method.
*PROBLEM
VSL Steinway on Default Velocity Curve, I kinda hate how it sound so hard.even thouogh I play pianissimo. Unlikely CFX, I kinda love CFX response feel.
*SOLUTION
1.I need to find out how many Layers they really have by using Fabfilter L-2
and I got 60 Layers (Silent key included)
2.Make it True Linear by X = Layer*100/60, Y = 100-(100/128*midi signal)
3.I load the Velocity Preset on CFX and play. WOW it more response But Steinway's response feel still so hard.
4.I use MIDISHAPESHIFTER to curve the True Linear by reference from CFX.
5.I change The X to make it curve like SOLUTION 4.
at first try, I don't even trust that I made it so I leave from it for a moment to rest a bit,eat some snacks and play it again.the resource still unbelievable!!.

Hi,
Fazioli presets. On special request by Mike. I'm not sure about this library. The basic sound is beautiful. But as mentioned here before there's absolutely no Punch. The Oemph is not there. I've been tinkering with the settings as Mike has put it. But I'm by no means an expert. I tried to find and release the beast. But doubt if its there at all. Never the less I included two preset patches. See if it helps.
Best,
Willem

I'm new to this forum and the VSL pianos. Thankyou for all the presets everyone has shared on here 😊
I have downloaded all the various CFX presets but don't know where the user presets folder is on my Windows 11 PC? Could someone help me find this please?
Thanks

Hi, Olivier!
Thank you for sharing your presets. Yesterday, I tested your previous patch and I found it very playable, so congrats for your excellent work. However, I find it extremely dry so I personally add a couple of surround mics to feel it more wet and nice; I will use it often. Thanks again.
What is this fix about?
