Subject: Re: [AN1x] Re: looking for a great sounding piano sound for my an200

Ce qui se conçoit bien s'énonce clairement !
I don't know the equivalent expression in english, sorry !
OK, set your VCA envelope with a short attack, a long decay, no sustain
and a shorter release. That's the most important and the easier to
imitate. The filter envelope has less importance , try the same or
something simpler (attack -sustain- release and keep the release longer
than the VCA) . Tweak the key follow for the VCF to get slightly less
filtering on the bass side . For the waveform you can use sawtooth or
pulse . Both oscillators should be slightly detuned , because the 2 or 3
strings on an acoustic piano are not accurately tuned . For the effects
: a small amount of chorus to thicken the sound and maybe a slight PWM
on pulse around the "good" (according to your taste) duty cycle .Add
reverb to your taste. Of course velocity is an important parameter for
both VCA and VCF .
Try it and let us know .... I've tried something like that on another
synth (Casio CZ) .
Cheers
J.F.
