An e-Piano with only 1 velocity?
What means they sound OK?
Yes, isolated it might be important to have more velocities, but in the mix for what I do I donât need low velocities.
They sound pretty close to the original source.
I dont know if I should try Decent Sampler. I have experienced this problem with Kontakt, with my Nord Stage, Arturia Pigments, Falcon etc.
Then there must be something you are doing wrong, I did a lot of sample and do not face the issue.
Do you sample each note or what is the note interval?
Can you upload a screenshot of auto sampler generator?
If you do not know then you should try.
With this velocity setting the e-piano will for sure sound different compared when you play the plugin, right?
I use a Nord Stage 4 as my Keyboard and it is set to use the highest velocity setting for playing external MIDI devices. So I would tend to say that the e-piano doesnât sound different because of different or a to high velocity setting.
I understand that this discussion has reached a point where there is not much else to say. I donât have a deeper understanding of mixing techniques. A lot of what I am doing is just trail and error. All I can say is that if I sample something like an E-Piano it doesnât sound as good as the source. I am using this plugin to enhance sampled instruments and can recommend it for people who might face the same problem. This plugin brings you back some of the high end that you might have lost and ads saturation in a very nice way:
Are you saying here that every note you play from the keyboard only sends velocity 127?
You are playing the E-Piano with a fixed velocity o 127, right?
Now you resample the E-Piano and import samples in a Sampler, for example Kontakt.
When you play with a fixed velocity of 127 the samples in Kontakt, they sound different?
What Master Volume did you set in Kontakt after import the samples?
Did you test with a note interval of 1 during sampling?
Please try to sample with lowest velocity = 1, highest velocity = 127, velocity count = 1
and import in Kontakt.
No, it only means that you dont have to press very hard to get high velocities. There are 3 possible settings. The setting soft means that you dont have to press very hard to reach high velocities. Hard means that you have to press hard for high velocities. I use the soft setting.
OK, I can try that. I thought that when you only velocity count = 1 you are sampling only one velocity and than it doesnât matter if you have lowest velocity =1? But maybe I misunderstood something. I thought that if you have
lowest velocity = 127 and highest velocity = 127 is the same as
lowest velocity = 1 and highest velocity = 127
if in both cases velocity count = 1
Why do you only sample with highest velocity when you can play with different ones?
Because the Nord Stage has no velocity mapping and Arturia Pigments only a limited velocity mapping. And it may sound silly, but I dont need (as I said before) lower velocities. If you play for example a Rhodes in a mix you need high velocities. The lower velocities get buried in the mix. This may be an oversimpflication, but you know what I mean.
I am sure you are doing something not correctly in importing the samples.
Whatever I do I cannot reproduce loosing high end frequencies.
