drnorm1 Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Is there a way to adjust the tone of the Px5s to sound like the sound of Lenny Tristano His sound appears to be altered?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Saucier Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Do you have a specific example? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad Saucier Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Create a piano hex layer tone and experiment with the pitch shift parameter, increasing it should probably get you close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drnorm1 Posted February 17, 2022 Author Share Posted February 17, 2022 can you give me an example of a "hex layer tone? When I use the hex layer, I don't understand how you would get a tone to experiment with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jokeyman123 Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 I think what you are needing is a slightly more percussive, more brilliant tone, rather than a darker grand piano tone. Much of his tone is created by his technique-look at his chops-has fingers similar to Vladimir Horowitz-can get a lot more percussive i think than with stubby fingers like mine. if you can alter the eq settings, and not much reverb, might work.

Jokeyman123 Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 Brad, is this for a PX5S, or PX560? I found plenty of examples of Lenny Tristano performances on Youtube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Saucier Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 Both models have "split shift" in hex layer editing under layer edit, pitch edit. "Split shift" is the timbre adjustment for the wave samples. 18 hours ago, drnorm1 said: I don't understand how you would get a tone to experiment with. Select a hex layer tone, press edit>tone>layer edit. You might want to watch some video tutorials on it. Like the video below. At 13:00 minutes, Mike shows a little about hex layer editing.

Jokeyman123 Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 I never noticed this "split shift". I had read in another music forum (Korg SP piano forum)-regarding an acoustic piano sample set that seemed rather dull to the poster-that if the entire "tone"-although not a Casio-was tuned slightly higher-above A-440, it might make that tone seem a little brighter or give it slightly more "presence" without rendering the tone unusable from an ensemble approach-similar to singers knowing-if your singing is out of tune based upon lowered pitches, it is much more noticeable than if your are singing slightly above pitch. I'll have to look at this, glad drnorm asked. Sorry to bump in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffn1 Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 Does this have anything to do with the whole controversy over claims he sped up recordings of him playing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lennie_Tristano_(album) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
