Stage Grand

Post by Patschi »

To me the Boesendorfer Grand sounds a bit too piercing and in a way thin, it lacks a warm round lower mid range.
Quite the opposite is the Black Upright Petrof that I like very much. But it certainly doesn't have the brightness of a grand piano.

So I just layered these two with a little detune, did some EQing (that you might adjust to yout taste and amp/speaker) and added stage reverb.
The result is a both warm and bright very wide and full sounding Stage Grand that almost blows me away.
For some additional strings switch on the synth section of slot B.

Sounds pretty good. I'm not a fan of the detune thingy but it sounds really good!

Were you going for more of an electric grand sound?

I layered the Boesendorfer Grand Piano (Grand Imperial) and the Petrof Upright Piano (Black Upright).

Actually no.
I was aiming at a "both warm and bright very wide and full sounding Stage Grand".
And no, I don't have too much time on my hands :lol:
