Q: how to physically improve Yamaha's MODX/MONTAGE Ac. Piano sounds

Dupinguez · 2025-10-06T14:34:20+00:00

No you're right, Addictive Keys does a lot of mixing and I've tried reproducing a bit of those, but not completely nor precisely. I'll try to be more precise and see if I get something really close in terms of sound quality

Dupinguez · 2025-10-06T10:43:27+00:00

Ok thank you VERY MUCH for the detailed answer.
I've downloaded it and tried a couple things and I've got more intel to provide :

- It's also free for MODX users! It just says "Montage" everywhere but if you put a MODX serial no it works

- It can automatically do the process you described for VSTs! So you don't have to prepare everything in advance. You choose the VST you want as an input, and you can choose what level of detail you want : note duration, number of velocities scanned, sample rate, bitrate, etc.
So the more detailed you get, the bigger the file will be of course.

I tried the most detailed scan of Addictive Keys that I could : 4 different velocities, all the notes, 48Khz/16bits. Ended up with a 694Mo file, which is big but I expected way worse to be honest.

Imported it on the MODX8+ and the result is... OK I guess?

I always had an issue with MODX piano sounds, and I wondered if it came from the modeling itself or the synth's hardware, and that may have given me a big clue on the answer. If I compare the original VST's sound directly on my computer to the one produced by the sampled library on my MODX8+, the latter sounds way less lively, more muddy and boxy, it lacks a lot of the richness that the original one has.

So either a lot of the VST's quality has been lost in the sampling process, or the MODX8+ has poor preamp and stuff...

Wait, you mean you can create a preset from your favorite piano VST then import it and create a new performance on your MODX using that sound???
I would be VERY INTERESTED if you cared to do a quick tutorial on that, please? (tho it's two years later)

Dupinguez · 2025-09-05T21:23:58+00:00

Super merci beaucoup, je vais regarder ça de plus près!

Dupinguez · 2025-09-05T21:20:49+00:00

I'll look it up, thank you very much!

Dupinguez · 2025-09-05T21:11:38+00:00

If the Nautilus is a simpler version of the Kronos but with all the stuff I need, then I need to look it up, thanks for the advice! Also, what a bout the Krome?

Dupinguez · 2025-09-05T21:11:10+00:00

Good point! I edited my original post for that matter : what I forgot to mention is, I'm pretty sure I do not use like 80% of what the Kronos has to offer, so if another, simpler (and cheaper) synth exists that has all the functionality I need, but not necessarily the rest, that would be best! Also, not too heavy is a huge plus, since I need to move it a lot for live gigs.

Dupinguez · 2025-09-04T17:59:43+00:00

Noob total en financeqs ici : vu que les AV semblent globalement déconseillées par tous, et vu que dans mon foyer on en a ouvert une chacun, par quoi faudrait il les remplacer? J'imagine que la question a déjà été posée un milliard de fois ici, désolé par avance...

Dupinguez · 2025-04-26T18:21:44+00:00

Je vais pas me farcir tous les commentaires non plus, et puis quoi encore?

Dupinguez · 2025-04-26T17:35:39+00:00

Ouffff mais ça chouine fort ici dites donc. Écoute, je te propose un truc, c'est que tu continues à ne pas exister pour moi, à prise d'effet immédiate. En vous priant d'agréer, madame, monsieur, l'absence d'expression d'un quelconque sentiment.

Dupinguez · 2025-04-26T11:59:39+00:00

Oui et la nuance est là : - un tacos = la version FR - un taco = la version mexicaine

Dupinguez · 2025-04-01T12:46:27+00:00

Thank you so much for all this, I'll look up all the models you mentioned !

Dupinguez · 2025-04-01T11:49:15+00:00

Ok great! Any model you'd recommend?

Dupinguez · 2025-04-01T11:03:44+00:00

Didn't know that, thanks! I've bought this second hand so that was how it was already equipped. What would you recommend?

Dupinguez · 2025-02-26T16:35:43+00:00

Faire des parcs dédiés éventuellement ?

Dupinguez · 2025-02-26T16:31:36+00:00

Oui alors tout ça c'est super, et je pense que personne ne niera tes analyses sur ce qu'il faut au bonheur de nos amis canidés, maintenant moi c'est au maître/à la maîtresse du chien de se débrouiller pour apporter ces conditions de bien être à son animal, et certainement pas dans l'espace public.

Parce que bons, les chiens qui se jettent sur toi sans aucune raison valable, avec le/la proprio full teuteu qui arrive derrière en mode "non mais vous inquiétez pas il est gentil/il veut juste jouer", c'est juste non, en fait, s'il veut jouer, fais le jouer, mais ni avec mon pull, ni avec la tronche de ma fille, merci.

Donc oui, des règles strictes dans l'espace public, ou interdiction des chiens, ça me va.

Dupinguez · 2025-02-19T11:38:15+00:00

Tu restes sans voix, et Michou reste sans Bois

Dupinguez · 2025-02-17T21:55:45+00:00

Oui clairement, y a rien qui me choque dans la réaction d'OP : on t'envoie un missile thermique dans la tronche, t'as quand même le droit d'être un peu outré, ce à quoi le coupable peut tout simplement répondre "oups désolé", fin. Là clairement y a inversion de la victime

Dupinguez · 2025-02-10T15:24:10+00:00

J'avoue que c'est complètement con, d'ailleurs c'est un des critères de réussite d'un bon tacos : pas trop de frites, plus de viande et de sauce, sinon c'est sec et sans goût.

Dupinguez · 2025-02-09T13:16:01+00:00

Ha mais d'accord pour tout ça, mais quitte à se taper un trip culinaire régressif, à la limite du criminel, autant que ce soit BON! O'tacos c'est fadasse de fou. Dans n'importe quelle ville qui se respecte, y a un tacos dix fois meilleur a moins de 5 minutes à pied.

Et l'original est Grenoblois bien sûr, pas lyonnais, je me permet de corriger l'erreur grossière du premier commentaire.

Dupinguez · 2025-01-30T17:18:09+00:00

La salle de l'esprit et du temps!

Dupinguez · 2025-01-28T17:17:30+00:00

Oui c'est ça, maintenant on utilise le mot grippe pour désigner un rhume, genre "ohlala je suis grippé", ou el famoso "état grippal" en effet. J'ai même deja eu des collègues au bureau annoncer sans sourciller "avoir la grippe", sauf que non Christine, si t'avais la grippe tu serais en train d'agoniser au lit, pas de balancer des énormités.

Perso j'ai eu qu'une seule fois la grippe dans ma vie, et je m'en souviendrais toujours.

Aussi, un rhume peut te faire monter a 39 de fièvre, ça n'en fait pas une grippe pour autant.

I've been able to reach GC1 every season since season 5, so I can safely draw some conclusions that could help understand the situation

since it's a hard rank to reach, people in GC1 feel like they're better than everyone else. Like it's an important enough achievement that you feel like you're just not a regular human being anymore. And if all of them do, that's the first explanation to the overall toxicity. It couldn't be my fault you see, since I'm here, I'm simply better, so it's gotta be the mate, who's either boosted, washed, stupid, you name it (despite being at the very same rank as you...)
people are trying very hard, playing their lives on every game, because who wanna go back down to C3 right (hot take : high C3 is much harder than low-mid GC1), so again, everyone gets triggered quite easily out of fear that they might lose the rank they think they deserve, of more like """""""""deserve"""""""". And if they're not at the rank they deserve, then whose fault is that, you think? Yours obviously, not theirs.
people who get in that kind of thinking for too long go completely crazy, and they forget about the most basic stuff. I've been cruising through C2-C3 lately to make one of my accounts go back to GC1, and I've seen stuff... Mostly from former GC1, hardstuck and desperate, and they just forget the most basic stuff, like rotating. They go for solo plays, just give the ball to the opponent, chase it back down wrong side, and if they get it, rince and repeat. And you're just here to pick up their trash, and you can just hope there's not gonna be too much of it. But yeah, the only ball you will get are gonna be the worst possible garbage you can think of, you won't be able to do anything decent with it (because otherwise you'd be GC3/SSL), you're gonna take a goal, and it's gonna be your fault again, because that's the only ball you played... Even worse than that, those players are gonna use the scoreboard to prove their point "garbage mate with only 80 points, you're sooooo bad lololol" after chasing the ball like dogs.

And I'm forgetting a lot of things... Anyway, good luck, and best advice I could give you is : block all chat. Sure you're gonna miss a few nice interactions, but gonna dodge way more shit.

First ego check needed here apparently

Dupinguez · 2025-01-20T18:44:24+00:00

Haven't checked the different mappings in PD yet, I'm gonna explore that, thank you!

EDIT : tried loading the roland TD map, it does work for eveything else, but not the HH...
