Of course William Coakley piano samples are much more well balanced than the ones in the disklavier... this is obvious. A lot of work is still needed to improve the soundfont in this area. I've noticed that the disklavier is recorded very dry (probably on purpose), so adding a reverb is almost essential; otherwise it sounds like if the head is put inside the piano :-) William Coakley piano samples contain some ambiance, and I guess they are recorded in real stereo (unfortunatelly this can't be done in the disklavier soundfont, since source samples are in mono). _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
