mcbpete Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 (edited) Looking for some spectral manipulation VSTs in KVR (I'm looking for a replacement to sp3ctr3 as it has about 15 days of latency) I came across this little beauty. It's kind of like pianoteq but with a sample base (probably closer to Truepianos) and it's fupping great. AND IT'S GODDAMN FREE !! Download it here: http://www.tascam.com/details;8,7,51.html (scroll down to GIGA Continuous Velocity Piano ). It sounds as good as the multi-gig piano VSTi's but only takes just over 200Mb (and did I mention it's free !) Like pianoteq, as it's a physically modelled VSTi (rather than simply sample playback) you can modify things like mic placement to get the sound you want When you've installed it, it may get confused where to put the VST so copy the CV-Piano-GVI-Modeled.dll from where you installed the program into your standard VST folder p.s. if anyone can find a replacement for sp3ctr3 with less latency then that'd be nice....

Guest greenbank Posted November 16, 2007 Report Share Posted November 16, 2007 this is probably better than mda piano then...! not been looking particularly but i can always use a better free piano plugin, thanks! if i read the site right then it's multisampled but with only one velocity then runs a wee algorithm to simulate other velocities. it should sound great within a reasonable velocity range of the recorded one then i expect a wee bit dodgy for extra loud and extra quiet. will report back after having a go if i remember and this thread is still about!

mcbpete Posted November 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2007 (edited) No it really is awesome even in the extreme velocity regions. It really eats the CPU though (presumably due to all the acoustic simulation gubbins going on) tftt: Yeah I've tried that one but the latency is probably even worse unfortunately. Cheers for the suggestion anyways !

ten fingers ten toes Posted November 17, 2007 Report Share Posted November 17, 2007 Yah, FFT is not easy, and discrete math by nature is very time intensive, since it involves recursively looking through entire sets to get it's answer. There's not shortcuts or optimizations to be made in the math, it just has to run it's course as fast as it can. To be honest the fact that you can get it as low as it is now is incredible.

Guest B3yond Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 Holy crap , this is awesome , no latency probs here and the sound is just briliant !

mcbpete Posted December 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 Ah, no the latency conversation was about the FFT VST I was looking for, this topic got a bit mixed between two things ! Glad you found the link to be of some use. I still can't work out why it's completely free, it's bloody awesome !

ten fingers ten toes Posted December 15, 2007 Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 I have to be honest I think this sounds quite thin, like an upright from an old western saloon or something, but it is free.

mlon Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 delete the LLC folder from the CVPiano folder prior installation... it installs crapware not needed. mlon Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/28275-holy-crap-a-free-giga-style-piano-vst/#findComment-616146 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest awkward Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 i must be a dunce coz i can't get it to work. put dll in vst folder and it opens fine but then it wants a gvipset or something i dont have. so i have no loaded instrument. do i need anything else to make it work? if i click on "click to load" and get the popup menu then the "load" menu doesn't pop again. maybe this is why i cant get anythign going Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/28275-holy-crap-a-free-giga-style-piano-vst/#findComment-660739 Share on other sites More sharing options...
