Gunnar, it seems that you could quite easily share this, unless I'm missing something, by saving a single PCG (DISK-->FILE-->SAVE-->SAVE PCG & SEQ). Do a CLEAR ALL and then select USER-AA in Programs and User-C in Combinations, then OK to save. All of the relevant combi slots reference AA078, so people would need to either have that free or adjust accordingly. I don't know what you've got going on with the string sound in G116, but that's not factory anyway so people could ignore it. The other string sounds are factory but reference the programs as they exist on the pre-Kronos 2. Seems that the strings are ancillary anyway, yes?

If you'd like to send it to me I could test.

Thanks,

Busch.

Thanks, Gunnar. Your explanation is enough to get me started down a similar path.

My own challenge is a little different. Rather than solo piano, my goal is to create a piano that will cut through a rock band without having to be consistently banging away in the upper third of the velocity range. One problem is that when playing very fast, lightly-hit passing notes can disappear into the live mix.

I've been dealing with that via the Velocity Intensity adjustment, which makes quiet notes louder. But I think your approach might work better, because it gives greater control over different velocities, e.g. brightening the lower-velocity notes or softening the upper end.

Here is the PCG

Bitflipper: I am glad to hear that this is maybe a good idea for you to come closer to your goal for the pianosound. And: I am very interested in what you may have come to .
Because I also play in a jazz-rock band where your result maybe can help me there.
Remember the soft pedal ON !!

Very beautifully done, expressive and artistic...also, of course, great tone on the German grand. Smile

I have only tried Kronos on two concerts, and the last one was something like a disaster. It was not enough just playing good, the piano didn't want to sound like I wanted. I HAD to do something. (I thought about Ravenscroft 275)
Although I am also a classical pianist I wanted lesser dynamic, not expressive but in volume. I was afraid of playing to hard because it came some sudden 'bangs" in the loadspeakers when using another velocity than 9. and 9 is not good in pianissimo.(Bb4 and Db5 is harder than the tones around, my main problem now, but nothing to do with it)
So the way of arranging the velocity fixed that and the equalizer of each part of the velocity . But this didn't change the sound of course.
The main thing here was to use soft pedal ON, with GS velocity 3.
This combination made it possible to get a nice sound in piano and pianissimo with expressive fortissimo but not to high volume. That was what I needed. But a rock piano needs something else of course. I can use string ressonance but I feel it is a little bit distortion in it, and didn't want to use it.
The main thing is that I have a piano I can use. But I will be glad if someone else likes it and can use it. Other comments are also welcome.

Hello
I didn't understand what you can do with a laptop connected? to the Kronos. Because you didn't mention a software piano as eg Ravenscroft 275.
Curious about that.
