New Free Sampled Piano for the Pa3x - (116mb)

[Reuben]

Version 2.5 now released February 28, 2018.
Improvements:
Fixed Tuning removed to allow for Global Tuning adjustment if required.
Key release tones now mapped to Ram sound rather than Rom.
Slight increase in expressiveness to Bright 4 Grand.

Changes are only subtle but needed if for instance you wanted to tune your piano to a slightly non standard tuned acoustic instrument.
Enjoy,
John

Version 3.0 out now (April 13, 2018).
The number of presets has been expanded from 8 to 16 and now includes some new Darker sounding pianos, some Uprights and Honky Tonk settings.
Also included are a couple of EPs.
This new expanded set does not take up any additional Ram (still uses 116mb compressed equivalent to 232mb).
I have 2 versions that are identical except the first one loads to User 1 Sounds while the second one loads to User 2 sounds.
EDiT: See the first post for latest sound set.

Hi Reuben

Many thanks for these Pianos, I've loaded them into my PA4X and I think they are excellent, I particularly like the Bright Upright.

Thanks again, excellent work.

Cheers

Martin.

Sam calls it a quick and dirty demo but I just wish I could play like that.

... but I just wish I could play like that.

You better scratch my name off your fav keyboardists list ASAP! I'm extremely out of shape like you can't believe. I can't even play the literature I used to play years ago. Once upon a time I had a strict practice routine....but no more.

I'm extremely out of shape like you can't believe.

I'd love to be as "out-of-shape" as you my friend....

Pedal down sympathetic resonance is now included with version 4.
This adds a very subtle but realistic resonance ring of 5ths and (to a lesser extent) 3rds to notes played with the pedal down.
Sound names and locations have not changed with this update. Download links have been updated in the first post.
Enjoy.

Excellent work as always Reuben and beautiful playing Sam, thank you both.
I needs some help. I have C5 V2.4 in user 1 together with your SteinGTMk11 (memory was expanded to do this). In order to easily compare I loaded C5 V4.2 into user 2 and as a consequence loaded another set of samples. This seems to have overwritten the Steinberg samples. How do I clear the sample memory to be able to start again??

Just had a thought - I suppose disconnecting the mains for a few days and letting the battery run down would induce amnesia but I am hoping for a quicker solution.

If you have backups (or you can download again) then it’s safe to delete the multisamples in Ram.
Go to Sound Mode, hit Record button, use dropdown menu to delete all mutisamples, dropdown menu exit. Now load the elements you want from your backup. Rather than loading everything you can choose load, open open, sounds, open, navigate to the sounds you want and load these.
The multisamples for the C5 Grand don’t change with updates - only the registry parameters so you don’t actually need to reload samples in any case.

Thanks for your help John, very much appreciated.

Hello. If I copy only a single sound С5. Without programs. Without full installation SET. It will not sound like you intended?
