    if they can sample an NY steinway it'll be beyond dreams for me

    i love the warm and rounded tone of american steinways

    thanks for sharing - hope they see this

    I have heard that the European "taste" in voicing a piano is for a bright, more crystalline sound, and that the American "taste" in voicing a piano leans towards a warmer sound that is not brittle. If this is true, the way that the piano is voiced may be at least as important as the choice of room in which it is recorded.

    that was actually my first opinion and i still think it'll be the best choise (ny steinway)

    i wish they see your valeable opinions and make it happen

    I'm not sold on the idea. The paino will still have the same fundemental tone regardless of its recording location. If someone really likes the current D-274 sound I can see the desire for a different variation of it, but for those who are looking for a warmer (American Steinway sound) stage B alone wouldn't do it. 


    How many people who currently own the D-274 (like me) would buy it again just because it was recorded in a different soundstage? Not me. However, I would definetly consider buying  a new Steinway concert grand sample library if it had an entirely different tonal character (warmer). I own all the VSL Bosendorfer grands becasue they are all different and they all sound different. 


     


    God Bless,

    Of course, these are just general trends. There are many warm-sounding European pianos, and there are many bright-sounding American pianos. However, in general, it can be said that European and American tastes in piano sound differ.

    I would love another piano like Vienna Imperial with the same pedal options (the 2SUS button for repedalling) and una corda samples instead of all the mic positions. Another Steinway would be great, or maybe a Blüthner or a Bechstein.

    Us Bösendorfer players are free to choose, between the one in Synchon Stage A and the one in the Silent Stage… 😁

    Please do a New York Steinway B on Stage B! There's so many orchestral oriented libraries out there, but none that target a broader range of musical genres in the quality and flexibility that the VSL Synchrons provide.

    I would love to buy a VSL Steinway D on Stage B. I have the VSL Concert D-274 on Stage A, and no matter what I try - the sound has just too much of 'room' in it. I would prefer a much smaller, initiate, 'Player' feeling Steinway D. Hope this happens one day!

    Hi @oshogg

    Just an idea - but maybe what bothers you is not so much the "room" - but the release sample which comes from the instrument itself. You can change the value of "RS Level" on the Edit tab of the Synchron Pianos Player. Lowering it to "-inf dB" does disable the release sample sound completely.

    Best,
    Andreas
