Many people have pointed that the particular Steinway piano that VSL has sampled is a bright concert grand. While VSL sounds so much more authentic than Pianoteq. I had a couple of VSTs (VSL, Garritan CFX, Pianoteq) and I think playability wise VSL and Pianoteq are the best. I really respect you as a pianist who is visually impacted. So much for now, look forward to the audio interface in a day or two so I can write some more here!

Maybe this has only happened to me? I don't know, but you can judge everything for yourself. I still want to say that it's among the best libraries I've ever played, but this sound problem is driving me into a state of confusion. Hopefully I can get an email from them tomorrow. However, I've sent the audio clip of me playing some random things to VSL support.

I wish I could attach an audio clip, but I'm not sure how to do that. I hope that's my side of the issue and have nothing to do with the VSL Steinway!

However, the playability is simply amazing, I think even better than the galaxy vintage D! I will update more when my audio interface arrives and I can have a chance to get audio pumping there. But until this gets solved, I can't use this Steinway normally. Perhaps that is exactly the problem that I'm dealing with. Someone on here previously pointed out to me that Dell is playing audio and running it through some sort of a DSP engine and I can't turn it off. So I'm not sure if it's due to the fact that I don't have an audio interface and was using what ever my Dell laptop had as my direct sound device. I double checked with a friend and he told me that that's not what the default presets should sound like out of the box. Instead what I heard was less than perfect: in the loud notes it sounds as if the mid and low frequencies are cut off, and it also sounds like that the microphones have phasing issues, canceling out each other's frequencies. I had hoped to hear a full-bodied piano sound with all that rich tone and resonance that only a Steinway D could deliver.

Then, after running a tool to get OCR (optical character recognition) browsing, I was able to access some of the provided presets. So I guessed around in setting my midi inputs: I set SL-88Grand as my input device, and I set windows audio as my output device since my audio interface is still at FedEx. The Preferences page was the only thing my screen reader could detect, and I couldn't tell which options are selected and which are not.

The library installation and license activation was flawless, and I managed to find the Synchron Pianos standalone software player after a little bit of exploring on the official website. Luckily, it was just a few words, so my mom who can only read letters could still click 'Next' for me. Most of this I can do on my own without sighted assistance, but the e-licensing software installer is not so accessible. After fumbling around with some tech, here I am to give you a picture of my thoughts after playing with the standard library of Synchron Steinway D for a couple of hours!įirst, the installation and all that jazz before playing.
