#SF2 PIANO PLUS#
You used 30 samples for the piano (15 notes) plus 14 samples for added harmonics. I could afford that added weight because I wasn't doubling up on the same note for the stereo R and L. I used A, C, D# and F# for every octave because I didn't like the way the two note stretch deformed the sound.
#SF2 PIANO FULL#
When you're seated at the piano, the travelling stereo sound is definitely noticeable (What does the pianist hear? YDP Stereo).ģ) You used A and D# for every octave, those two notes getting stretched to cover the full span. If you were in the audience in a concert hall, stereo sound would make no difference to you at all, seated too far away from the piano to notice that the lowest bass is less than four feet further away than the highest treble that a mono version would be fine (What does the audience hear? YDP Mono). Only one note ever gets played though (mono on 2-3 hammered strings), and it's two different ears that are hearing it from two different points of view that sound would appear to travel from one side of your head to the other (stereo). You did not take advantage of panning at all, every stereo sound centered on middle C in your instrument design, relying on the mic pickup to make the stereo. The same mono samples are played twice, but with two different sets of pans to create the stereo sound of L and R instruments when you're listening with a headset, the bass a little softer in your right ear than in your left, and gradually getting louder to your right ear as you climb towards middle C. So I used the panning feature on the instruments section to create that keyboard sound of bass on the left, treble on the right, middle C in the middle for the speakers. That's the grief that I had with the original YDP soundfont design that I made my own. wav sample twice for a left and right speaker does not make it stereo, that just makes it bloated. Let us distinguish between original instrument quality and soundfont craftsmanship quality now.Ģ) You had stereo samples to work with. Enough said about comparing apples and oranges. There are differences in tone right there. so comparing the two side by side in Polyphone to find the differences between us:ġ) You sampled from a Salamander C-5 grand piano and I was sampling from a Yamaha Digital grand piano (YDP).

Here's the link to my latest SF2 version: But what I did complete was a General MIDI Piano Category that includes the ALX-YDP Piano, as well as a lot of other presets that I use in my own MIDI sheet music creations. I had played around with making my own general midi SF2 and then discovered that was a lot of work that I put it back down for a couple of years. You inspired me to look at that soundfont again.
