5:19 that c7 sounds so beautiful

[@KeepingOnTheWatch]

Listened to this several times during this past week. You get my vote.

[@carmenbrancob]

Absolutely adorable. I'm about to begin piano learning and finding such beautiful piece only makes me desire to practice more and more

[@SergeyPushkin]

I really loved your Lento part and octaves in Poco piu lento.

[@kingjohn3fr]

Bellissima interpretazione. quanto poi aiuti il pianoforte digitale non saprei. però il risultato è davvero strepitoso. le note sono assolutamente pulite e si capisce che sei un vero pianista maestro di musica classica (anche io lo sono). ancora tutti i miei complimenti. bravo.

[@andrewcjeffrey]

Pianoteq 7 produces such beautiful sound. I don't regret buying it.

[@R.Tafolla]

I agree. It sounds much more alive and realistic than sampled piano sounds that come out of, say, a Kawai or a Yamaha. And they sound more realistic and natural than the modeled sounds from a Roland.

[@leschatsmusicale]

Beautiful ❤

[@tedatthepiano]

Excellent performance. Came here by way of a random thread on pianoworld, where I was stunned by some incredibly rude feedback that you received. I think you play this nocturne wonderfully and think it's great that you've been honing it for some time. You've got my sub - look forward to hearing the CA79 paired with Pianoteq.

[@DigitalPianoClassical]

Thanks! I'm glad I kept working on this piece. It has been very rewarding.

[@KeepingOnTheWatch]

I used to, but no longer, post comments on pianoworld forums. Some other members’ (very few actually) responses can be quite ignorant.

[@DigitalPianoClassical]

@@KeepingOnTheWatch Same here...though not strictly by choice ;) It's a shame as the feedback prior to that was helpful.

[@injurera]

Please make more videos. Love the sound of Roland FP-10 and the general vibes of your recordings.

[@TheIvoryman]

If I understand correctly, we are not listening to the sound of Roland’s FP-10. But, the sound is that of Pianoteq, in this video.

[@emiliomunoz5403]

You made me love this piece!

[@TadeuszMarkiton]

Great performance, wonderful sound!

[@lllllchovlikelive166]

You held it so well at the end. Good job!

[@digiuseppefederico]

Pls could you do the chopin waltz in a min? I love this sound

[@DigitalPianoClassical]

I like that piece, so sure, I will add it to my list!

[@gianfrancobriones]

Hi Wonderful playing... good octaves... afaik, FP-10 isn't capable of half-pedalling... but you still did a great job on the passages >04:22 onwards passages...

[@stevenwarner9156]

It is capable of half-pedaling, but you need Roland's DP-10 pedal to get access to that functionality.

[@johnnylong2023]

I purchased according to you, and I am impressed with the purchase. but how do I disable the internal sound on the headphones when running as midi on DAW VST????

[@DigitalPianoClassical]

Why not plug the headphones into the computer running the daw rather than the FP10? But that aside...can you not just turn down the volume? I don't think that should affect the midi volume, but would stop the internal sound coming through the headphones. Maybe I'm misunderstanding something.

[@olufjakobsen6208]

So nice you play very good, impress you come so fear. Have an fp10 too, what plugin are you use, and what have you order, name of the piano thanks. Oluf

[@cx9906]

Beautifully played. Though I m curious how did you manage to synchronise the video and the audio?

[@DigitalPianoClassical]

Thank-you. I just use a normal (free) video editor and add the audio as a second channel...then manually move it about until it fits the video. It can be a bit fiddly, but usually doesn't take too long.

[@chrisg1358]

Hello very good work, I would love to know how to record the audio from your keyboard, I have the same keyboard and I would love to record the audio.

[@DigitalPianoClassical]

Hi. To record audio from the FP10 you need to plug the audio out from the keyboard into something that can record audio. For this video the audio is from some software on the laptop though which creates the audio file for you...

[@jojoandnana]

I am planning to purchase FP10 to resume my practice with acoustic piano, and I found your video on YT. It is a really nice playing. I just wonder if you have any issue with the keyboard after the long-term practice.

[@DigitalPianoClassical]

Thanks. I found it quite easy to move from playing the FP10 to playing a real piano, and also to my new Kawai. The actions are different on each, certainly, with the cheaper FP10 being the least "smooth", and precise, but there's no doubt it helped me to improve my playing.

[@manu-singh]

I am getting bored of how dull my fp10 sound, i will try pianoteq today

[@KeepingOnTheWatch]

Well? Did you get Pianoteq?

[@toxmot]

Nice to see a new video! Great performance. I guess you are still waiting on your Kawai?

[@DigitalPianoClassical]

Yes! It is delayed now until the end of September...9 months after I paid for it! The production delays have really hit hard this year.

[@DavidIzquierdoAzzouz]

@@DigitalPianoClassical what Kawai is it if I may ask? Are you really feeling what some people describe about having a short pivoted keybed like the PHA4 in the sense of difficulty at playing towards the fallboard? Is it really that bad? Great rendition BTW congrats

[@toxmot]

@@DigitalPianoClassical oh man, that's a tough wait, I hope you will get it soon. I'm sure it'll be worth the wait 😊 Kawai went up so much I think right about the time you probably purchased. They are very hard to come by and it's the same everywhere.

[@DigitalPianoClassical]

@@DavidIzquierdoAzzouz It's a CA79, which was lovely when I demoed it. I have to say that I think the short pivot is noticeable. I can work around it certainly, but it puts a little more strain on my fingers. It also make voicing slightly harder.

[@1420TnT]

is it possible to connect FP-10 with pianoteq and choose the sound and it will be played by FP-10 build-in speakers ?

[@DigitalPianoClassical]

That isn't possible, as the FP-10 has no audio inputs.

[@1420TnT]

@@DigitalPianoClassical thank you for response. Beautifull playing btw. been listening to yours videos for long time ;)

[@michaelriggall6862]

@@DigitalPianoClassical I thought this about my CLP-725 until someone put me straight on it. The 725 will play PTQ via the USB to Host. PTQ recognises it as an output device. I don't know about the FP-10.

[@mikeav7083]

Do you play the composition called: Intermezzo written by Mariano Ponce ?

[@DigitalPianoClassical]

Hi, no my repertoire is still quite small really. With my limited practice time recently I'm struggling a little to perfect the few I'm working on. I will add it to my list though.

[@Bluffer70]

Amazing! Did you record this through your piano?

[@DigitalPianoClassical]

Thanks. The audio for this video is from the Pianoteq VST running on my laptop.

[@AwesomesMan]

Sounds awesome! I'm a total beginner and am curious why did you decide on the Kawai CA79 digital piano instead of getting a upright acoustic piano. I imagine they would be about the same size?

[@DigitalPianoClassical]

Thanks. An acoustic piano is significantly bigger and heavier than the CA79 (76kg vs 288kg and 145cm vs 153cm) and I don't think I could fit it in my lift! Living in an apartment I also mostly play using headphones, so that was also a factor.

[@simplelifedays3692]

You obviously enjoy playing that piece

[@leaningless]

Which Pianoteq profile (preset) do you use?

[@DigitalPianoClassical]

I almost always used the Classical Recording preset for these videos. HB Steinway D for some (it has a softer, darker tone) and NY Steinway D for others.

[@ghani1264]

Which piano sound are you using on pianoteq?

[@DigitalPianoClassical]

NY Steinway D was my go-to piano sound.

[@cuongfilms9400]

Bạn có gặp phải vấn đề lỗi kỹ thuật khi sử dụng FP10 không? rất nhiều người ở Việt Nam đều gặp lỗi chết nguồn điện

[@DigitalPianoClassical]

Chào bạn. Không vấn đề gì. Nó hoạt động rất đáng tin cậy đối với tôi

[@cuongfilms9400]

@@DigitalPianoClassical cảm ơn bạn, tôi đã đặt hàng vào ngày hôm qua và tôi sẽ được trải nghiệm nó sớm

[@leaningless]

What do you use in a laptop next to the piano?

[@DigitalPianoClassical]

Hi, the laptop is running the Pianoteq VST.

[@bossunimportantstuff]

Amazing, this sounds beautiful, like a recording from a grand piano. This perfectly demonstrates how convincing and expressive the Pianoteq/FP10 pairing can be when played by a great pianist. Are you using the stock FP10 pedal or do you have the half damper one? Have you tried to use any of the alternative piano tunings for the FP10 internal engine? The GP607 preset by Hugo Veryzer sounds pretty great to my ears.

[@DigitalPianoClassical]

Thanks. The latest Pianoteq update improved the Steinway D sound quite a lot to my ears. Much fuller tone, with less ringing. I'm still just using the stock FP10 pedal, but looking forward to having half-pedal on the new piano. I haven't heard the Hugo V sounds. I'll look into it!

[@noobsdream]

How to use alternative piano tunings? Through Piano designer app?

[@m.moonsie]

Is the piano placed too low for you?

[@DigitalPianoClassical]

I don't think so, I have an adjustable stool, and like to sit quite high...and I'm already 6ft. The height of the keyboard above the floor is about the same as most grand pianos..

[@giuseppepaparo8977]

Ti posso chiedere da quanto tempo studi?

[@DigitalPianoClassical]

I had lessons for about 6-7 years as a child, then stopped for a few decades, and have now been playing for another 3 years.
