Rachmaninov Moment Musical No. 5 - Sampletekk 7CG and Black Grand

[bostonmoores]

@illiustrope Hi, I don't do anymore processing in Kontakt afterwards. Thanks!

7CG sounds a lot more present and richer, while the Black Grand recedes into the recording space a little more (more ambience). Not really a fan of the Black Grand here, but very often some pianos lends themselves better to certain types of music.

I've also heard SampleTekk's PMI Steinway D which, with a great reverb setup, sounds excellent (but lacks enough velocity layers).

How did you get the picture to appear? Mine doesn't show that

@Onetruthrgv

In Kontakt 4 go into the instrument settings by clicking on the wrench and use the script editor in the instrument. In script editor click "edit" below bypass and preset. Paste this command in:

on init make_perfview set_ui_height_px(320)

end on

Then in instrument options select a "skin bitmap". Browse to a folder where you have an image you'd like to use.

This may only work in the full version of kontakt 4.

Thanks.

@bostonmoores what site did you get your picture from?

[bostonmoores]

@Onetruthrgv

I just did a search for images in the public domain for those pianos.

[Onetruthrgv]

@bostonmoores Do you have to do this stuff every time to get the image? Cause I got the image but when I restart Kontakt Its no longer there when I open the library

Sorry - you need to resave the instrument in Kontakt. That will keep the settings.
