Pianet sample noise!

[tombitondo]

Hi folks,
Is it me...or does the Hohner Pianet sample (found in the legacy section) have an unusual harmonic present in it? I tried to EQ it out. I'd actually need a notch filter to knocking out but there is obvious knitting like that on the Electro 5D.
Your thoughts?
Thanks in advance!

To me it sounds Just like a Hohner Pianet N is supposed to sound.
Miss the release sounds though..

Vintage keys can be noisy, yes...

Nord could release a npno version of the Hohner Pianet N, right?

[Mr_-G-]

They could, but the pianet was not much touch sensitive due to the mechanism to made the notes sound (it even said so in some original pianet brochure i read in the net). It should be possible, though, to create a 'super-pianet' that responds to velocity more than in the original and include some barking too, but that would not be a recreation of the original anymore.

Any Hohner afficionados know if there are sonic/expressive advantages to the Pianet T, as opposed to the N?

I purchased a multilayered T sample set a while back... so long ago that its publisher appears to have gone under in the ensuing years. It was considered a "stocking stuffer" in a much larger sample library.

All this talk about Pianets has me wondering whether it would be worth converting the T to a single-layer in my Nord. Thoughts?

The Pianet N is so much nicer and more expressive than the T.
It has more of a wurly bark to it while the T is pure bell.
It is possible to do nice samples of it though.
I made a two layer version for Soundtrap (http://www.soundtrap.com) that turned out very nice, although the software does not support release samples.
I also made a single layer for Nord very long ago but it´s still in the library.

Anyway, examples of Pianet N:
Elton John - Sails
Sly Stone - Family affair
Beatles - Savoy Truffle, The Walrus
Corduroy - Chowdown
