This is the new release of the Yamaha Disklavier Pro acoustic grand piano soundfont. It is much improved, including a total of 5 velocity layers. 132MiB (yes, it's getting big) 116 samples, 44100Hz, 16bit Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 license It has a new stereo panning effect. It's not real stereo, but it helps to make it more realistic when playing live, as somewhat imitates the pianist's perception of the piano. Loops are not required anymore. I've selected and included only full length samples (around 20 seconds of sound for each sample, for low notes). Listen to this example music rendered trough it, a piano arrangement of the famous Pachelbel's Canon in D: http://zenvoid.org/audio/pachelbel-canon_20080910.ogg I've added this time a very slight reverb to the demo, through jack-rack and ladspa plugins. A convolution reverb added with jconv was more realistic, but the license of the impulse responses was bugging me. Download the soundfont here: http://zenvoid.org/i/audio.html A note about the dynamics: I've placed the velocity layers at almost random points. They work OK with my MIDI keyboard, but please tell me how well does it perform in your MIDI keyboard (and what keyboard model you are using). You should be able to reach the last layer at forte (strong) levels, the first layer at piano or mezzo-piano (soft) levels, and around the layer 2 or 3 under normal pressure. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
