...work has prevented me from reviewing the patches lately. I'll be back soon!

Good to hear! This reminds me of the following Dutch expression: "Werken is leuk, maar er gaat zoveel vrije tijd in zitten." (work is fun, but it costs so much free time)

I once did a course in time management, but it didn't really help much:


I am sure that your time management mind map is a good one, but who has time to study it?

If you guys happen to like the remaining sound of the Ambient Steinway Experience R2.0, just let me know, so I might be persuaded to actually publish the preset parameters (teasing).

Browsing through the 2011 Kawai catalogue, it seems like we're getting some new friends:

While the CS6 and CS9 cabinets look more polished to me , from a technical specifications point of view:
CS6 = CA63
CS9 = CA93

So I guess there will be no CA113 named successor to the good old CA111 (which had only like 22 sounds instead of 80), as this now has become the new CS9, right James?

Does anybody know how I can expand the title of this thread in order to include the new CS6 and CS9 models?

Hi TADutchman,



Your recording sounds nice (very natural), I like the piano sound you created and would welcome to learn the settings very much

I've been off my piano (not that I wanted it, just a business trip abroad) for two weeks and that was probably enough for my mind to clear up from any psychoacoustic adaptation that had happened while I was playing it more frequently. So, I am finally back and have just started playing on speakers with the default Concert Grand sound and heavy touch and I have experienced exactly the same feeling I got when I played it for the very first time one year ago (described in a separate topic) - the sound from the speakers is somehow too bassy, boomy, artificially electronic... I've put my Sennheisers and the sound was much different, much more balanced and natural to the degree where I am fooled it's not coming from headphones but is instead coming from a real piano. I am rarely playing on speakers, mainly because of the neighbors but also partly because of that issue with the sound. But the fresh experience from today provoked me to eventually bring the issue here in this topic since I suppose it could be tweaked with the EQ. I am wondering if that has something to do with the small size of my room and the fact I've put the piano very close to a wall. Do other people with CA63 have noticed something like that when playing on speakers? If so, what EQ settings do you use to counteract that?

TADutchman, I've got an MP10 coming soon and am wondering if many of your settings will transfer over? Are the virtual technicians on the CA93/MP10 the same being that the CA93 is essentially the console version of the MP10?

TADutchman, I've got an MP10 coming soon
