This sounds gorgeous! I'm curious if it's possible to get a sound somewhat close to this using the built in stage positioning thing, timbral presets and a reverb send or if you did something drastic to shape the sound.

Hello! Congratulations on your videos! But I don't understand the reason for using midi tracks instead of instrument tracks. Please, is there anything better to use midi tracks, performance?

I could listen to you all night! Beautiful playing and interesting settings on the EQ.

Hi is this patch you did or it comes with the library ? and what is the name of this patch ? Thanks

As good as the original E Model Rhodes was, it definitely couldn't do pitch bend! LOL. Listening to you play takes me back to those Jarreau/Graydon/Canning/Foster heydays.

Thank you so much for coloring in the background for me. You are an excellent teacher...

Wowed!! Stephan, you are brilliant musician and designer. I have implemented so many of your; ideas settings and sound design. I just ordered FC3A for my old Clavinova 150. Is it still possible to purchase the Vibraphone you are using? Thank you Sir always inspiring to listen and watch you work.

Please help! What do you use to control the expression and drawbars.... I have a Roland Piano full 88 keys, Can't figure out what to do or if I need something with faders..Dave

Great work Stephan, i miss your content and especially hacks, they have made a huge difference in music. The vocalist has a great timbre, brings to mind a cross of Gino Vanelli an Bobby Caldwell. Very Best!

Simply amazing as always.

without the swing it sounded like it was trying to sell me paper towels

Do you still use this Rhodes? I love the sound

Just got it awhile ago. It is the best emulation I have ever played or heard. Utterly flawless

Absolutely amazing! 👍

Very well done! 👍

Yes the volume drop IS normal switching normal-soft. The hang up you experienced is the trouble with being tied to a VST/computer.

Why not add the midi track to ample bass guit...that ll sound better...

Beautiful

Master of the Masters!

Also, I know this would be additional work, but in lieu of velocity dynamic - could you overlay a FC to get the dynamic inner lines?

Which volume control pedal do you use if I may ask? I've had a really hard time finding a good volume pedal that works well. Thanks!

Your ear and mock ups are amazing man! Great stuff! Thanks for sharing your thoughts and talent with us!

So in the articulations editor, I've noticed options such as Midi CC stack, Note Vel stack... What I haven't figured out is what MidiStackSm or VelStackSm options offer that differs? Been racking my head around it and couldn't find anything in documentation on what Sm stands for

Hi, I'm from Brazil. Congratulations on the work! tI saw in another video you posted using the LAA 3 that you played Violins, violas, Cellos... on a single track at the same time. I would like you to make a video showing the step by step you did, whether you used an instrument or midi track or both, etc.

Go Jimmy. Keep up the good work.

Love your playing. Excellent musicianship.

I miss my pedulla buzz, oh will there be one for this sound. I thought of sampling it before selling . Hope you do 🥰

Hi Stephan .... good preset man!!! Is there a way to obtain this preset from you ? I own the Studio version of PianoTeq 8.2 Cheerzzz -Rem (from Amsterdam, the Netherlands)

Stephan, this is INCREDIBLE! GORGEOUS! Didn't know you relocated. Great stuff, man!

Fantastic work!

amazing stuff! how do you get all the routing for individual mic positions?

Check out the breath controller for brass :-)

Really great to see you back Stefano... This arrangement is delightful and your mastery of the craft is fantastic... Interesting to see you using LASS 2 instead of the latest LASS 3 version. Take care and many blessings, Max

Beautiful arrangement Stephan!

Congrats on your new masterpiece the arrangement is absolutely gorgeous and we need more videos like this. Tips: Valves Pro form NI and also Expanded legato from audio bro’s MSS is amazing for this kinda vibe. Cheers

Superb👌

Good to see you again Stephan!

Stephan, good to see and hear you again! It's truly a joy to listen to your tasteful arrangements. You are a magician when it comes to bring virtual instruments to life. It's inspiring. Thank you for sharing your knowledge Stephan. That said, watching your videos is not without risk, at least not for me... I just purchased the Samplemodeling Brass Bundle. 😉 and I will probably play those instruments using a breath controller. Keep up the good work and keep posting videos. They are some of the best one can find on youtube! 🙏

When I listened to the first few seconds of the video I was certain that this was a real orchestra 🤯 I am completely blown away. This is so incredibly beautiful. 😍 Well done🎉

Hallo Stefan, bin ein Riesen Fan von ihrem Lied „merci“ und das schon seit meiner Kindheit. Würden sie vielleicht mal eine live Version davon singen? Habe das ganze Internet abgesucht, aber leider nie etwas gefunden. Es ist so ein perfektes und schönes Lied, welches mit ihrer Stimme einfach nur unvergesslich schön ist. So oder so: vielen Dank für dieses wunderschöne Stück ❤. Alles gute 🍀 ❤

This is not a Pianoteq question, but I am interested in the MX88. How do you feel /What do you think about the MX88's action/touch/etc..? Anything weird/unusual/undesirable to point out (maybe noises, or anything really)? Thank you for your input/help!

You could play a turkey sandwich and it would sound great. Now I want a turkey sandwich.

I dig the drums, what are they ?

Nice demonstration!!! Is it possible to shift the overall sound in octaves so that is possible to layer it to a piano sound for example?

Came for the review, stayed for the harmony

Nice tone and ambience in general, and great playing, but I'm not a fan of the unnatrual way in which the Teldex room sound swells loudly after the sound from Pianoteq stops completely (e.g. around 12:48). I'm not familiar with the plugin so can't say what setting is causing that - maybe too much pre-delay - but it's pretty objectionable to my ear.

Stephan you explained the Brazilian Suinge so well! And this video and the “how-to” in ProTools to create it from a production standpoint is simply outstanding. Thanks for posting and your knowledge is simply beyond!

🤗

Saudações do Brasil. Você é muito bom.

I like single instruments but the chords sound so warm and lush. Its like watching an old film with these strings. Hey thanks for the videos I really appreciated the hard work.
