Free Steinway Piano for Pa800 and Pa2x
I'm reposting this info as a new thread because of feedback from several forum members telling me either they can not find the info, or that the original links did not work. The original thread is here if you want to read the whole story.

1. This is the full Steinway sample set for the Pa2x and it requires 71 Mbytes of sample RAM all by itself. It takes about 2 minutes to load on the Pa2x. This file will not load on the Pa800 unless you have one of the Pa800's that has been modified with 128 Mbytes RAM, for example by EMO in Turkey. The Steinway piano is constructed using a double set of 30 layered stereo samples, one set recorded FF and the second set recorded MF. So there are 60 samples in total. This is provided free of charge to all Korg Forum members by Rob Sherratt and the University of Iowa Electronic Music Department. The files must not be resold or redistributed without permission. File size = 33.64 Mbytes
http://www.irishacts.com/downloads/index.php?cid=11
Select the option that says "SteinwayPa2x".
2. This is the cut down sample set for either the Pa800 or the Pa2x. It requires 31 Mbytes of free sample RAM. It takes about 1 minute to load on the Pa2x. This version of the Steinway piano is constructed using 30 stereo samples, recorded FF. It gives a very bright sound, but without the nuances of less percussive MF samples that are present in the 71 Mbyte version. This is provided free of charge to all Korg Forum members by Rob Sherratt and the University of Iowa Electronic Music Department. The files must not be resold or redistributed without permission. File size = 17.64 Mbyes.
http://www.irishacts.com/downloads/index.php?cid=11
Select the option that says "SteinwayPa800".
3. This is a demo recording called "Messsin About" by Rob to give a preview of the full Steinway sound for the Pa2x.
http://www.irishacts.com/mp3/messinabout.mp3
4. This is a help file in Microsoft Word 93 format, written by Rob Sherratt in Feb 09 to tell you how to merge the Steinway sounds and samples with any other sounds and samples on your Pa2x or Pa800. This file will eventually be incorporated on the forum's new Wiki site.
http://www.irishacts.com/downloads/index.php?cid=11
Select the option that says "Merging PCM samples from various sources".
5. If you don't have Microsoft Word on your PC or MAC then you can download a free viewer from Microsoft here:

Hi Umair,
The version using FF Steinway samples for the Pa800 is at least as good as the factory pianos which are all single layered samples. The version for the Pa2x is a combination sound with two layers of recordings, one set played FF and the other set played MF.
You might well ask the question "when am I going to release a complete version for the Pa2x" with three layers of samples including a set recorded PP? The answer is that I am not. The PP samples available to me were recorded with too low a gain on the MIC and preamp, and as a result I cannot get a sufficiently high normalised amplitude for digital processing without the quality suffering due to too much noise.
In the case of the Pa800, someone with more time available than me might be able to get the two (FF and MF) layers of samples to fit by tailing each sample more aggressively and then looping the tails and then using ADSR envelope shapers to handle the decay to zero. It is a large amount of work to do that properly. I did try to do that initially but I gave up part way through because the results were disappointing, probably due to my inexperience.
Although I've done a small amount of extra work to make one single layer Steinway piano subset that will work on a Pa800, I really did the two layer Steinway job for selfish reasons for my own use on my Pa2x taking advantage of the extra memory.
Best regards,
Rob

Hi Rob.
If you ever fancy getting involved in making a commercial one, let me know.
I have the samples, but I don't have the keyboard so I would be looking for someone to do the PCG programming. The Samples (all 250MB with 4 stereo layers) are ready to load into the Pa2X and you wouldn't have to do any work on them at all.
Here's a demo of the samples running on the OASYS.
DEMO 1
And here it is in a mix.
DEMO 2

Hi Sharp,
Yes, I'd be pleased to be involved in producing a commercial piano for the Pa2x. If you place the samples on your FTP site and let me know the password in private mail, I can start on this when you are ready.
Two questions:
a) Do you think it is feasible for two layers of the samples to be used in order to fit in 128 Mbytes - the standard RAM capacity of the Pa2x? We could also produce a full 4 layer version but it would require people to purchase an EXB-M265 expansion card, and they are hard to get hold of unless you live in the USA. I have some suggestions about that.
b) Are the samples topped and tailed, unlooped and without AGC applied? I know we discussed looping and using AGC to remove the natural decay envelopes. I abandoned that approach. Because I'm not up to the required level of knowledge to get the ADSR envelope functions on the Pa2x working.
Best regards,
Rob

Hi Rob.
All the layers are true stereo layers in stereo multisamples, so it will be interesting to see if the Pa2X reads them.
I'm confident that the 4 Layer Piano will sound as good as the demo's I've posted of the OASYS edition, but there will be a loss of transparency between layers in the dual layer edition and a loss in dynamics.
You might have to work with the second and fourth layer to get the best response, or if that doesn't work well, then it will be the third and fifth.
If you work on the 256MB edition first, then it will be easier to switch off layers to see which two work best together for a 128MB edition.
All the samples peak at a perfect 0dB and have natural decay and no loop points. You won't even have to worry about the volume of the different layers when assigning them to a program. Chances are that you will use the same volume setting for all 4 layers. There is no hiss or noise whatsoever in any of the recordings, so even the softest samples will be crystal clear.
You won't have to work on the sample data in anyway at all. Simply load the KMP files provided into your Pa2X and start PCG programming.
I'll even provide a midi file of me playing for you to record the demo.
Regards.
Sharp.
If you create an account on the shopping cart I can add the Piano to your account. It's going to be a conversion of the OASYS data I just released, so it's ready to go. The OASYS edition is 5 stereo layers, so you will be using 4 of those dropping the one called Layer 1 (the softest layer). This will get you just under the 256MB.Yes, I'd be pleased to be involved in producing a commercial piano for the Pa2x.

I think if you where to do that you would have to produce 2 versions. A 128MB and a 256MB edition. Both can be offered together in a single download and people can then choose which one they can load to memory.Do you think it is feasible for two layers of the samples to be used in order to fit in 128 Mbytes - the standard RAM capacity of the Pa2x?

Hi Sharp,
Thanks, I have an account (rob dot sherratt at gmail dot com), with the following registered Irish Acts products:
Infinite Organ Assault
Irish Low D Flute
Piano Evolution
The Golden Trumpet
Laser Harp
I will have to do some multisample manipulation I'm afraid ...
There is a fundamental design difference between the two OSCs on the M3 and the 16 OSC's on the Pa2x/Pa800. This leads to additional compatibility constraints on using Korg Triton/Trinity multisample files. The constraints are not documented by Korg and I have only discovered them by experimentation.
On the M3 each OSC has a true stereo multilayer capability. You can assign stereo multilayer multisamples to one OSC and the Korg Triton/Trinity multisample file can have velocity triggered layering of at least 4 layers of samples.
On the Pa2x/Pa800 each of the 16 OSCs is a mono OSC with no multi-layering capability. You can not import multi layered Triton/Trinity multisamples. You can import stereo single layered Triton/Trinity multisamples but they are played back as mono. It is possible to construct sounds which are multi-layered and stereo, but all the stereo samples have to be separated into R and L mono samples first. Then you have to use many OSC pairs to handle the multi-layering for velocity triggering.
Like the last project, I will have to split all your stereo Triton/Trinity samples into two sets of mono samples and then build new L and R multisamples from them. This process is well automated in Awave Studio, so don't worry about it.
Best regards,
Rob

Hi Rob.
A single stereo multisample is still two complete sets of files stored in two separate folders. One for the left and one for the right. You should only need to load the KMP file for the left first, and then load the one for the right. This will give you two multisamples of the same name, only with an _L and -R tag on the end showing that they are a stereo pair.
So if you copy the entire contents of the download to your Pa2X this is a list of the multisamples you will see.
GRAND000.KMP
GRAND001.KMP
GRAND002.KMP
GRAND003.KMP
GRAND004.KMP
GRAND005.KMP
GRAND006.KMP
GRAND007.KMP
GRAND008.KMP
GRAND009.KMP
To get the samples in memory for a 4 layer (256MB) Piano this is the breakdown of the files you need to load one by one.
Don't load these two as all as this will give you 1 layer too many.
GRAND000.KMP
GRAND001.KMP
Load these two to get Layer 1 into memory.
GRAND002.KMP
GRAND003.KMP
This will give you layer 2
GRAND004.KMP
GRAND005.KMP
This will give you layer 3
GRAND006.KMP
GRAND007.KMP
This is layer 4, your last layer.
GRAND008.KMP
GRAND009.KMP
This should give you 8 multisamples that you need to assign to 8 OSC's.
OSC 1&2 for Layer 1 (Pan L&R)
OSC 3&4 for Layer 2 (Pan L&R)
OSC 5&6 for Layer 3 (Pan L&R)
OSC 7&8 for Layer 4 (Pan L&R)

Here's my own critique of the free Steinway piano sound, see if you can hear these problems?
a) The MF sounds (quiet) have a higher noise floor than the FF samples. This is because the original Iowa Steinway MF and PP recordings were not taken at peak recording level, instead just sampling FF MF and PP at the same gain which was presumably set so the FF sound did not distort. It was impossible to use the PP samples to produce a 3-layer piano sound because of this.
b) I had to normalize the gain level of the MF samples, and in so doing it lifted the noise floor of the MF samples to an unacceptable level. I then applied a noise filter but it had the unwanted side effect of spoiling the HF dynamics of the samples. This is noticeable when you play quietly - the sounds are not so sharp and clear as when you play loud.
c) All the Ioway Steinway recordings were taken in a concert hall, not in an acoustically damped studio. This means the recorded signals were all captured with a high level of reverb. It is impossible to remove this reverb from the resulting sound on the Pa2x. For many purposes such as recordings, a high level of reverb is unacceptable.
These "problems" will be fixed in the work Sharp and I are doing to produce a commercial piano set for the Pa2x based on Sharp's definitive Steinway samples for the OASYS. The best quality version will require over 200 Mbytes RAM for the complete 3 or maybe 4 layer piano samples. We will also produce a 2-layer version that will fit in 128 Mbytes RAM for the unexpanded Pa2x, but for those who want the absolute best multi-layered Steinway piano, get your EXB-M256 cards now!
We haven't decided on pricing just yet, but you can see from Irish Acts web site that the vocal assault sound set for the Pa2x is 50 Euros. I can promise you that it won't cost 100,000 Euros which is what Steinway charge for the Concert Grand Model D!
If you are interested in purchasing a commercial Irish Acts Steinway Piano for the Pa2x at a price of let's say 50 Euros, please indicate your interest on this thread? This will influence the priority of the project compared with other work Sharp and I both have in the queue!
Best regards,
Rob

As part of the Pa1X Venture where a number of you got together and purchased a Pa1X Pro for me to work on, I made the following in return.
Converted 683 Styles to Korg Format
i3 and i30 Complete ROM styles.
512 Conversion of Program sounds
Vocal Assault
Irish Low D Flute
Orchestral Choir
The Golden Trumpet
Piano Assault
Piano Evolution
Infinite Organ Assault
36 Pads
Trumpet Shakes Sound
Sampled 01W Sax
And so on and on............ Most if not all I gave away for free to those who took part in the project.
This was the first time other arranger users could access third party data like that, and other than the ones that took part in the project it seems there is still very little interest or understanding of what is actually possible, or what people are missing out on.
Sure we would all like free sounds, but it costs a lot of money and time to develop them. I can honestly see all third party developments disappearing over time guys. The majority of people seem to be only interested in Factory Presets.
It's a crying shame really.

Hi Sharp,
Please don't loose heart before it's launched
I think a really good pro quality 4 layer Steinway piano to rival the best dedicated Pianos such as Roland's V-Piano and of course what you did for the OASYS would be so desirable that most Pa2x owners will want to get an EXB-M256 card at $99 and pay 50 Euros for the samples and sounds that we are producing.
I think the new Steinway we are working on will rival the best Steinway acoustic grand pianos which cost upwards of 50,000 Euros. The free one I produced earlier was more of a proof of concept, and I cannot improve it because of the reverb and gain level problems with the original samples. So it sucks for professional use. But the new commercial one already sounds fantastic based on the octave I produced with un-edited 20 second samples. I just know that everyone will be amazed by it.
I'll be working with my contacts in the USA to get the new Steinway piano for Pa2x reviewed in one or more USA keyboard publications. I hope also that we can persuade Korg to publish some information about it as well.
Personally I think this is going to be the "killer app" that substantially increases sales of the Pa2x ... especially in the USA. I hope Korg might decide to give you a free Pa2x to reward you for all you do to promote and enhance their products. Maybe Santa Korg will drop one down your chimney this Christmas?
Best regards,
Rob
