QL PIANOS TEST (1) - BOESENDORFER 290

[MrCrgl]

Hi, are ther 2 Bosendorfers 290 in East West catalogue ? I see they sold a Bosendorfer 290 (3GB) and also sold a collection which includes a BOsendorfer 290 and 4 other pianos (55GB) Quantum Leap Pianos Gold. Do you know if both Bosendorfers are the same ?

[PianistaItaliano]

@MrCrgl  I do not know if is the same, sorry

[marto877]

@PianistaItaliano oh i see...and that's the lowest note that any piano can play? thank you!

[PianistaItaliano]

@marto877 on this piano the lowest note is A0 with 88 keys,

but there are also other pianos wich have even more low notes, for example one model of the Seiler Grand piano with 90 Keys or Bösendorfer 225 with 92 Keys or Bösendorfer 290 has 97 keys. However apart from these there are certainly many other pianos with less or more keys.

[marto877]

@PianistaItaliano wow 97!!? thats amazing and huge... you said the Bosendorfer 290 has 97 keys but yours has 88... i thought all Bosendorfers 290 were the same. thanks!

[Superphilipp]

Aw, I wanted to hear the low low keys.

[PianistaItaliano]

@Superphilipp you do not hear the low keys?

[Superphilipp]

@PianistaItaliano I do, but not the really nifty ones. You know the ones only the Bösendorfer has, down to C0.

[sax0tenor]

great playing man. at last a true pianist posting on youtube.

[MusicMan20061210]

What about the Double Escapement feature that is part of a Grand Piano,for enabling rapid trills?

Letting the key up only partly after striking a key,which lets the damper stay off the string and enabling a re-strike.

Without that feature it's a useless tool for any serious classical piano playing.

[IllBlindo]

How is the differenz between Vienna Imperial and QL Pianos?

Auf dieses Video antworten...

[jgrey]

I gather this is also the one in goliath package?

[CrankCase02]

I don't understand. What is going on here? How does the keyboard relate to the playing of the piano?

[1000LeaguesJourney]

wow....che bel video e suono e playing, complimenti, sembra che tutto quello che fai lo fai in stile !

[thescientistband]

How do you get these keys at the bottom of the video? Is that some kind of a program?

[mysticradio]

soft piano's havent gotten THERE yet........ latency issues.

will wait till v-piano goes down or trickles down in to an affordable stage piano.......

[Paramite84]

@mysticradio

There isn't any latency issues, if you have a good soundcard and computer. I get less than 1 ms latency using Ivory's full settings. That's hardly something you notice.

[mysticradio]

i sold my ivory........ and had all three titles...... i couldnt get rid of the latency and i have a powerful computer. I just use my new S70xs by yamaha........

[mysticradio]

how does this compare to ivory?

[PianistaItaliano]

Sorry mysticradio, I have not "tested" the ivory.

[dmana3172]

Does this sounds to you exactly like the real grand piano?

[audiophile71]

@dmana3172 nope

[leanbackandlisten]

@mysticradio

I use both, Ivory and QL. QL definitely sounds better and you can even mix together different mic positions. But it's very demanding in terms of computing ressources. For real-time playing, I use Ivory, for rendering I use QL. I've put up some audio examples on my channel, if you like.

[subby33]

Its way better than Ivory. I used to use ivory.

[LongDriveChamp03]

You seriously should print sheets for this music.

[eunchae49]

WoW where can i download this software tell me

[PianistaItaliano]

Hi eunchae49, you can download this piano by  soundonline dot com

at the moment special price 445$

[sikwitit345]

damn, your hardware is insane. will this work on my core duo 2.13Ghz 2GB RAM or do I have to get a new computer? :P

[AaronCEdwardsMusic]

You could run it on your duo... but you wouldn't be able to run anything else :P you'd probably have a bit of an issue with the multi mics too..

I'd highly recommend a quad core though, they should drop in price soon with the 8-core coming out. I'm running a 2.66quad core with 4gb ram and 2.25TBs of hard drive, and I can run all 3 mics without an issue ;)

[Paulsterdude]

i wish i could play good solos when it comes to jazz on piano, curious question though...

what kinda hard drive are you using for quantum leap pianos, and how many mic positions can you run through on each piano on your pc?

[PianistaItaliano]

Thanks Paulsterdude, I use "maxtor 500 BG"

I can also run all the positions at the same time, because I work with a Pentium Quad 4 x 2400 Mhz, so no problem. More info there >>>>>>>>>>>

[muziqmonster]

That was BEAUTIFUL and well said. haha

I guess its nice to mention that this thing needs a windows VISTA 32 or 64bit update, huh?

I luv the sound. I have Acoutica's Pianisssimo and Sonivox's Eighty Eight.

They are each amazing quality and superb gems, indeed.

I barely purchased this Vst recently and Instantly am grateful to its developers

Peace out, Mistro. Bravo!

[PianistaItaliano]

Thanks muziqmonster, it works also on vista 32bit and windows xp 32bit.

[Boboua]

I absolutely love this sample. In my opinion, it has the best, and most realistic Bosendorfer sound any company has ever made. We have a Bosendorfer 290 at home and we bought this for our digitals. EWQL has some great steinway and some other pianos as well.

Great improv!

[internalmethods]

Is this improv from a lead sheet or just off the top of your head? Please please tell me it's off a lead sheet...I love this song.

[PianistaItaliano]

Thanks internalmethods, but sorry...this was a pure improvisation, I just tried to demonstrate in this music-vid the quality and dynamics of this instrument..

[internalmethods]

Oh well, it was worth a try. My jazz piano teacher agreed to teach me some gospel type jazz. I would love to hear more of this style if you ever get the inclination. Keep up the good work....it's very inspiring.

[flapane]

ciao!

bello, è campionato, sarà di quelle librerie di 10 12 gb, giusto?

Cosa ne pensi di pianoteq? provato?

p.s Non è formalmente corretto dire che hai 9600mhz a disposizione, sono 4 core da 2400 :)

[PianistaItaliano]

Salve Flavio,

si,sono campionati... comunque, magari.... avesse solo 10...12 GB, qui per completare l'installazione dei 4 QL Pianos con 24 Bit Audio, su un sistema 64 Bit....hai bisogno di ben 270 GB di disco fisso.

.....ah pianoteq, io personalmente lo trovo molto sintetico, specialmente sulle ottave alte.

2400 Mhz x 4= 9600 :)

[flapane]

si, ma non vale la moltiplicazione, sono 4 core da 2400, e quelle poche app che sfruttano più di un core, lo fanno con una efficienza reale limitata, un pò più del 50% ;)

[ankhaton]

You play very 5*s beautiful

and thanks for the midi display!

[PianistaItaliano]

You are welcome ankhaton, thanks :)

[Lot2learn]

I really like this sound and the playing. ;-)

[PianistaItaliano]

Hi Roger, yes this vsti got a really nice sound, thanks.

[DaCrazyDiamond]

very edgy and slightly sinister sound... the bass notes really stand out to me... i wonder if this VST is available for mac?

lovely improvisation btw

[PianistaItaliano]

Thanks DaCrazyDiamond, yes VST is available for mac.

[bubbajiff]

OH... WOW

you have NO IDEA what i would give to be that good! you have totally inspired me with that song, it was beautiful

was it improvised?

x

[PianistaItaliano]

Thanks bubbajiff,

yes that was an improvisation :)

[TheBrokenGentleman]

It sounds really good...

[PianistaItaliano]

Thanks TheBrokenGentleman

[PianistaItaliano]

Danke Frank!

[7notemode]

Alphonso,

Your playing is very loose and spontaneous. It sounds great. The QL is very powerful sounding. It sounds like you will be able to get a lot out of this software package. Congratulations.

[PianistaItaliano]

Hi Tom, thanks and Happy New Year my friend!

...Is really an interesting "software" ... even though, frankly, his dynamic "yet" I was not totally convinced.

However, I do not ever stop making new attempts :)

[BocaFriend]

A marriage made in heaven! This is just wonderful. The Bosendorfers have always been my favorites. And, Alfonso, you sounded inspired with a gospel influence here which reminded me of Tom (7NoteMode) -- a style I'm anxious to hear you continue ... : )

[PianistaItaliano]

Hi Terry, thanks for your kind comment.

Yes,I tried to play the piano with different keystroke, and then of course also a little Gospel :-)

....I have also heard the Gospel playing work of Tom (7NoteMode), Fantastico Simply Great.

[RL82]

That is an INCREDIBLE software piano... your playing is fantastic as always my friend.

[PianistaItaliano]

Thanks RL82, I am glad you like it :-)
