I've renamed all of my personal presets, to be more recognizable in the context of which piano as well as close vs. stage etc. But the last time I tried to rename attachments here, it kept the old ones and added the new ones, creating confusion, so I'm just leaving it be for now, as I didn't really tweak any of the settings yet anyway. Hopefully the descriptions I provided earlier are enough to help, if the preset names are confusing or seem genre-specific where they shouldn't be.

I may have a couple more (new ones) to post shortly, and I did modify my Yamaha preset but I'm not posting it yet because it hasn't made it all the way through a production cycle, which is what I consider the proof in the pudding.

UPDATE (6 March 2021): I have tweaked all of my presets now, and was about to post them (including new 280VC and a heavily revised CFX), but then there were two updates by VSL (one to CFX and one to all of the pianos) right afterwards, so I need to integrate the new features and do a final review before posting, as well as see whether I learn anything from the new presets in Rabih's post that follows mine.

My presets for the 280VC (Standard library only).

- Reverb is off in the mixer but it's highly recommended to either turn it on or use a 3rd party reverb (like i do). 

- Velocity curve and sensitivity both left untouched. Up to you to tweak according to your controller. I personally leave everything at default because the 280 VC feels/sounds great to me as is when played through my Yamaha HS80M monitors. 

- Some volume adjustments were done on the upper range in the edit page. 

- Some minor frequency taming was done on certain notes on the upper range in the edit page. 

Enjoy.

Added a velocity curve to my previous post. I think it's a great starting point.

I'm new to the forum and the Synchron Steinway D-274. Someone in the thread said, "Just place the vsynpreset file inside Documents/VSL/Vienna Synchron Pianos/Presets." Is that all there is to it, or is there something else that needs to be done? I appreciate any help you might offer. Looking forward to getting to know this instrument.

Please note that Overture4 preset is also for VSL Synchron Concert D-274 not the VSL Yamaha CFX. You may wish to correct it in your post.

Hi - Thanks to everyone providing presets. I am new to the pianos. One question do have is where do I find the preset folder?

Thanks

Patrick

Hi,

Here is more information about the preset folder.

Please save at least ONE custom preset, so that the necessary file structure is established.

Best,
Paul

It's a versatile patch for playing a modern style live with the compromise of a warm and possibly hard expression that works with the full version of the Steinway D-274.

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

For practice. Intimate and crisp sound. Higher dynamic range.

Fixed volume and timbre variations of some notes in upper register.

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
