Mr -G-

So it is a non-secret that you won't reveal. 😂

And what does the algorithm do? Or is it a secret? 🙄

Can you be more precise about what is the pre-processing you do to the files before uploading and mixing them? Thank you.

Hey, @Baldwin Funster I think you misquoted me. I replied to the OP and I am not the one wanting to play heavy metal.

Hm... Is that the reason? You can buy lots of string sets for the price of any good synth...

Maybe... ...the foam that you put on top of the keybed contained some kind of slow releasing agent (e.g. a solvent used in the production) that eventually causes plastic damage? If you kept the instrument always in the bag, then it could be a long time exposure. ...the force of playing on the keys could induce a tiny flexing on that region that causes micro-fractures on the surface (so you see the cumulative effect). If so, I would expect that to be a common observation, though. Has this been reported elsewhere? ...the batch of plastic used was of a lower quality than expected? ...all or some combination of the above?

How is that different from what the Mellotron did years ago?

Have you tried prompting "in the style of Roger Dean"? That might be more interesting.

... the key position. I suppose the balance of the mix of L and R is per key. Key in the most to the left is only L output, that in the most to the right only R and the rest a mixture depending where they are nearest to. The ones in the middle should be a 50% mix of L & R. I have no idea if that is true and if so how they achieve this, but the claim was that it made the pianos sound better in mono as there is less phase cancellation. Caveat emptor!

Clavia appears to have mentioned in an interview that the "mono" button in their instrument does a weighted sum of L & R, rather than L+R, so it might depend on the instrument.

The Nords have both angled wheel and pitch stick.

Please do! I have also been interested in "pseudo-stereo" processing.

And after the DX1, too...

Just a comment, not exactly sure what you meant by "a part of a sound" here, but the effects settings have been always been saved as part of a "program" (e.g. in the NS2 it can consist of several engines: 2 organs, 2 pianos, 2 synths) and you could assign effects to those, although some of those exclusively to one engine or another in each of the two slots available per program) . What it is new in the NS4 is that different sound engines can have their individual effects.

Have a look at the Stubberget bracket for monitors from Ikea. There is a version for 1 and another for 2 monitors. Maybe you can adapt it to your setup?
