Title: Can anyone suggest a good grand piano sound font?
Post by: Brendon Beard on 2002-11-24 03:25 AM
I am currently using a soundfont downloaded from the Hammer site, mentioned on the Noteworthy Homepage.  It is called Stereo Grand Piano and sounds fantastic.  The only problem is that it has a slight static or clicking noise in the 12 to 14 KHz range, and this is made worse whenever I try to record anything.  The music sounds a bit like a scratchy old record.  Can anyone suggest a really good grand piano soundfont?  Most of the ones I have found have little reverberation and sound tinny.  If you can help please email

The best place to ask soundfont related questions is the soundfonts newsgroup (http://news://news.silco.com/silco.hammersound.soundfonts).

If you are not content with what you have found on Hammersound (http://www.hammersound.net), try this (http://www.soundfonts.it) or this (http://www22.brinkster.com/guraydere/).

Hth,

I use a sample (.sf2) by Sören Bovbjerg. It's a very nice Steinway grand with 8 velocity layers. Sounds very realistic. I got it through Hammersound.
Hope this helps.
