My wife just loves to play this deeply classical sounding preset with the Kawai Classical Piano Collection book. You guys could try to add some typical Beethoven like historical tuning at will and see what happens, e.g. 1 - 7 Tuning: 432 Hz. Other variations could include lid simulation, e.g. 2 - 1 Voicing: Bright 1 / Normal / Mellow 1. CLASSICAL PIANO COLLECTION PRESET R1.0 Dual Voice: Concert Grand 2, volume 4 + Mellow Grand, volume 6 1 Basic Settings 1 - 3 Tone control: low +5, mid +1, high -5 2 Virtual Technician 2 - 1 Voicing: dynamic 2 - 2 Damper resonance: 10 2 - 3 String resonance: 10 2 - 4 Key off effect: 10 2 - 5 Touch: Custom 2 - 8 Stretch tuning: Normal 3 Key Settings 3 - 4 Layer dynamics: 9 Reverb: Room 2 / Hall 1 Effect: Delay 2, time 1, depth 1

"Always look on the bright side of life" How bright.. and spectacular? That's largely depending on your custom user touch setting. CLASSICAL PIANO COLLECTION BRIGHT R1.0 Dual Voice: Concert Grand 2, volume 4 + Mellow Grand, volume 6 1 Basic Settings 1 - 3 Tone control: low +5, mid +2, high +1 2 Virtual Technician 2 - 1 Voicing: dynamic / normal 2 - 2 Damper resonance: 10 2 - 3 String resonance: 10 2 - 4 Key off effect: 9 2 - 5 Touch: Custom 2 - 8 Stretch tuning: Normal 3 Key Settings 3 - 4 Layer dynamics: 9 Reverb: Stage Effect: Delay 2, time 1, depth 2

Okay, let's recalibrate the KAWAI EXtra GRAND LUSHNESS preset a little, after having played a K. Kawai Grand tonight with an almost closed lid (except for the front part): now you should be able to also experience a similar warm singing saturation of the surrounding space. I just can't stop playing this one live at Kawai Grand like acoustic volume! KAWAI EXtra GRAND LUSHNESS R2.0 Dual Voice: Mellow Grand, volume 5 + Mellow Grand 2, volume 5 1 Basic Settings 1 - 3 Tone control: low +6, mid +6, high -6 2 Virtual Technician 2 - 1 Voicing: dynamic 2 - 2 Damper resonance: 8 2 - 3 String resonance: 10 2 - 4 Key off effect: 10 2 - 5 Touch: Custom 2 - 8 Stretch tuning: Normal 3 Key Settings 3 - 4 Layer dynamics: 9 Reverb: Stage / Hall 2 Effect: Delay 3, time 2, depth 3

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? BTW, the only reason I went for the MP10 was price. I've got a good pair of studio monitors so I could forgo the amazing speaker system on the CA93. Very excited to bring home the best DP action on the planet!

Are the virtual technicians on the CA93/MP10 the same being that the CA93 is essentially the console version of the MP10? Congratulations on your MP10 purchase, ZacharyForbes! The MP10 is quite a different UPHI-beast with many tweaking possibilities I'm sure, but (as stated before) unfortunately it does not support the CA93/CA63's advanced dual voice mode for (E)piano-voices, which is essential for most presets presented here (also the number of voices of the MP10 is fairly limited). The great RM3-actions of the CA93 and MP10 are identical though.

Why not give that hammer induced attack transient some slightly more Classic FM-radio vintage personality? CLASSICAL PIANO COLLECTION VINTAGE R1.0 Dual Voice: Concert Grand 2, volume 5 + Mellow Grand, volume 5 1 Basic Settings 1 - 3 Tone control: low +4, mid -2, high -6 2 Virtual Technician 2 - 1 Voicing: mellow1 / dynamic 2 - 2 Damper resonance: 10 2 - 3 String resonance: 10 2 - 4 Key off effect: 10 2 - 5 Touch: Custom 2 - 8 Stretch tuning: Normal 3 Key Settings 3 - 4 Layer dynamics: 8 Reverb: Hall 1 Effect: Delay 3, time 1, depth 2

And here's my personal recording favourite for dry tracking (adding reverb to a cue mix is an option) and then mixing & mastering e.g. with a Lexicon or Convolution reverb: CLASSICAL PIANO COLLECTION DIRECT R1.0 Dual Voice: Concert Grand 2, volume 5 + Mellow Grand, volume 5 1 Basic Settings 1 - 3 Tone control: low +4, mid -2, high +1 2 Virtual Technician 2 - 1 Voicing: mellow1 2 - 2 Damper resonance: 9 2 - 3 String resonance: 10 2 - 4 Key off effect: 9 2 - 5 Touch: Custom 2 - 8 Stretch tuning: Normal 3 Key Settings 3 - 4 Layer dynamics: 9 Reverb: none Effect: none

Well, to be honest, it's great for live playing without reverb too. Highly recommended! CLASSICAL PIANO COLLECTION DIRECT R1.1 Dual Voice: Concert Grand 2, volume 5 + Mellow Grand, volume 5 1 Basic Settings 1 - 3 Tone control: low +4, mid -1, high 0 2 Virtual Technician 2 - 1 Voicing: mellow1 2 - 2 Damper resonance: 9 2 - 3 String resonance: 10 2 - 4 Key off effect: 10 2 - 5 Touch: Custom 2 - 8 Stretch tuning: Normal 3 Key Settings 3 - 4 Layer dynamics: 9 Reverb: none Effect: none (during USB/analog out recording & monitoring) / Delay 3, time 1, depth 1 (for mike recording and/or live playing)

Don't wake up the neighbours, as here's another update for this huge sounding patch! Why not quote Einstein this time? “Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance you must keep movingâ€. KAWAI EXtra GRAND LUSHNESS R3.0 Dual Voice: Mellow Grand, volume 5 + Mellow Grand 2, volume 5 1 Basic Settings 1 - 3 Tone control: low +6, mid +5, high -3 2 Virtual Technician 2 - 1 Voicing: dynamic 2 - 2 Damper resonance: 6 2 - 3 String resonance: 10 2 - 4 Key off effect: 10 2 - 5 Touch: Custom 2 - 8 Stretch tuning: Normal 3 Key Settings 3 - 4 Layer dynamics: 9 Reverb: Stage Effect: Delay 3, time 2, depth 3

Let's remove the effects section and retrieve headphones compatibility as a bonus. Volume setting 4.2 works best for me, either playing live or with my HD595s. Do note that your specific custom touch setting also determines overall brilliance! KAWAI EXtra GRAND LUSHNESS R3.1 Dual Voice: Mellow Grand, volume 5 + Mellow Grand 2, volume 5 1 Basic Settings 1 - 3 Tone control: low +5, mid +4, high -2 2 Virtual Technician 2 - 1 Voicing: dynamic 2 - 2 Damper resonance: 6 2 - 3 String resonance: 10 2 - 4 Key off effect: 10 2 - 5 Touch: Custom 2 - 8 Stretch tuning: Normal 3 Key Settings 3 - 4 Layer dynamics: 9 Reverb: Stage Effect: none

Let's do another OT instrument joke. What's the difference between a bass trombone and a chainsaw?
1. Vibrato, though you can minimize this difference by holding the chain saw very still. 2. It's easier to improvise on a chainsaw.
