Pianoteq 6 vs garrtian cfx software#

MY NEW PIANO or KEYBOARD! - Share Your Story! (NV10/NV10S can't do this)Дigital Pianos - Electronic Pianos - Synths &a. N1X is very realistic in hammer/ damper duration simuation / lifted. Other DP send a silent midi note on at velocity 1 after let off.

I liked a lot N1X, because the N1X send note on at velocity 1 as soon as the damper is lifted (as soon half a key is pressed (or half hammer travel) like recommanded in real Grand regulation manual) (just assign new midi aftertouch settings to key action damper duration in Pianoteq) You can use the aftertouch of N1X in advanced midi settings in Pianoteq, and Damper duration (or smooth release) can depend on aftertouch. I've played N1X in a Store with Pianoteq 7.4.2, and Steinway HB Player wide settings : N1X doesnГўв‚¬в„ўt not send key off to pianoteq so itГўв‚¬в„ўs not there in pianoteq. I couldnГўв‚¬в„ўt describe it very well but when playing acoustic pianos, some notes sound lazy like feather and some other notes sound like.a pin. There is some nuance in the first recording that I just didnГўв‚¬в„ўt feel in other three. The key-off velocity will result in different characteristic of the notes. Maybe the smooth release of N1X also matches my preference. I don't know how much is good the Garritan CFX playability, but to me, as a listener, its natural, unlooped sound is on another level when compared to the N1X and Pianoteq too.ДЄnyway, as I expected, the attack part of the notes played by the N1X to me is a little better than the attack generated by the Pianoteq engine which sometimes I feel a little strange.ДЄnd the quality of the reverb in the Garritan is excellent too. Pianoteq should not suffer from this problem, because it generates the sound algorithmically, yet it still sounds too digital to me. When you play a sustained chord on a high-quality piano VST (and even more on an real acoustic), you hear the unlooped notes intertwine beautifully, creating a complex, detailed and breathing, live, harp sound. When you play a sustained chord on an actual digital piano sample-based, after a while you feel the digital nature of the sound because the looped parts. and it's just in the sustained long notes (like the last chords in that piece) that you hear all the limits of this old technology (that they stubbornly continue to use in today digital pianos because it can work well on very cheap little single-boards that maybe cost less than 50$). What I hear clearly is that the N1X uses just the usual sample-based digital piano engines, so you have some nice attacks but you have looping for sustained notes. However, it's worth noting that some people (mainly Phil) make very nice recordings with Pianoteq that seem flattering in comparison to others (maybe with better setup):

Really highlighted where Pianoteq is weak i.e., in legato, whereas so many Pianoteq performances are fast and cover up the metallic twang. Twas me, I remembered your post-liked it a lot.

Which is also why people sometimes prefer Pianoteq compared to other software pianos although they admit the recorded sound isnГўв‚¬в„ўt perfect. ItГўв‚¬в„ўs of course closer to Garritan rather than Pianoteq but I canГўв‚¬в„ўt close my ears and just reject what I hear However when I count in the playability, the N1X is incomparable. For some reason just listening to the N1X (since I have no fresh memory on how I felt when playing each piano) makes it sound a tiny bit Pianoteq-ish in the sustain. Well, the Garritan CFX recording is simply the best sounding piano. Somebody linked to this thread from another thread and so I listened again to my performances, long after IГўв‚¬в„ўve forgotten them.
