Hi Roel
I listened to the 5Schumann after adding reverb. Then I listened to recordings
I've made of of some concert grands: Boesendorfer, Chickering, Erard and
Steinway. Then went back to yours. They all sound different. Yours is
a perfectly acceptable sound, but maybe a little more different. It is
the only acceptable piano simulation I've heard.
I'm using an Audigy1 card in Linux. I couldn't get a Freebsd driver for it.
I like it very much.
Cheers.........Al

Hi,
Currently we are working on a cross-platform and multi format commercial
GM/GS soundset named Project Portability (code-name).. We're also going to
release an extremly realistic grand piano soundfont for Audigy (2)
soundcards.. Currently we are determining whether or not to make a special
tiMIDIty version. So I'd like to know if there interrest in the Linux
community for such a product ?
Details of the soon to be ready v0.2 beta version (Audigy (2) only under
Windows at the moment):
- Between 180 and 220 MB of 48 Khz 16 bit stereo samples sampled from a real
piano. These are samples of 5 velocity layers of the piano.
- 127 velocity layers.
- Perfectly natural piano behaviour and sound.
Some MP3 recordings of the v0.1 release can be found at
http://project-portability.foad.nl .. These are dry (no reverb) recordings
without any post-processing applied to them.. Any comments would be
appreciated.
