Thanks Reuben. Will load them tomorrow and let you know.

Updated Version 5.2 released July 10, 2019.
Minor Tweaks to Piano:
Improvements to pedal-down sympathetic resonance, lower polyphony use on Large Concert Grands and better EQ.

Changes to Fender Rhodes:
Now with the ability to add amp overdrive via Mixer/Tuning, FX Send, Master 3 (Master 2 adjusts Tremolo Depth).

No changes to PCM samples or location of Sounds from version 5.1.

This should be the last update for sometime so sit back and enjoy.

Update for the Mini Version that uses just 39.8mb released July 28, 2019.
Verion 3 of the Mini now has extra virtual velocity layers giving it a much more dynamic response but sample size remains the same.
Download link is at the bottom of the first post.

Just wondered what sound fonts are compatible for import I've downloaded some but some import some don't ?

[Reuben]

Just to allay any confusion here - the Pa3x cannot import soundfonts (while the Pa4x/1000/700 can import some soundfonts successfully - depending on their complexity).
The Yamaha C5 piano files posted here (both large and compact versions) are not soundfonts but Korg .set file formats that load directly to Pa3x/4x/700/1000.
The .set files are safe to load and contain no global data which could change your setup. They contain soundbank and PCM data only.

I have installed the new .SET from Reuben. Do the set use a portion of my 128 MB Sample RAM.
When I look at the info it says Available memory 12590728 bytes.

[Reuben]

Yes. You have about 12.5 mb free (presumably 128 standard factory Ram and 115.5 mb being used by the Yamaha C5 Piano).
It is a 6 velocity layer piano with long samples so it was designed to fit comfortably on factory issued Ram.

Version 5.3 released September 7 , 2019. No changes to acoustic pianos or sound positions - just an update to the Rhodes EPs that now sound like the real thing!

[Reuben]

Version 5.4 released September 20, 2019.
Adds support for Repedaling.
Repedaling is for the fussy (usually classical) pianist that allows playing a note or chord with the pedal up then releasing the keys followed by quickly putting the pedal down to give a lower level ringout of the sound.
I should have added this from the beginning!

Hey. Please tell me, is the mini version suitable for the PA300? If not, can someone know a good piano sound for the PA300?

[danevogel18]

Hi, I have a pa 800 64 mb ram, tried to edit by myself but isn`t sound ok
Can someone help me with this please?

[danevogel18]

Can you edit for pa 800 for me? or explain to me what to do? how to use 2 layers to sound like 4? teach me please, i`m new here

[Reuben]

Generally the sounds are not backward compatible to the older Pa series.
You would need at least 80mb of ram to run the mini version of the C5 pianos.
One member on the Pa900 forum did manage to uncompress the samples so they might be willing to share this.
See http://www.korgforums.com/forum/phpBB2/ ... p?t=118639

As for creating virtual layers - it can be done by duplicating oscillators and increasing Filter A frequencies to brighten up higer velocity sounds then limiting those oscillators to those velocities. On the later Pa series you can also adjust oscillator EQ.

[danevogel18]

It`s possible to use this mini version on a Pa2X? Have enough ram, can someone convert it with korg pa manager? How to set up virtual layers for pa2x? Some help please.

How can I do this? ""it can be done by duplicating oscillators and increasing Filter A frequencies to brighten up higer velocity sounds then limiting those oscillators to those velocities"" Searched but didn`t find anything.
