Reluctant Aliquot

By Princent Vice on January 25, 2026 10:48 pm

At T-7 hours to deadline i had nothing written. This weekend I tumbled down a multisampling rabbit hole. Turns out not only can M8 auto sample, but assign those multisamples to up to 16 layers using a velocity table. This is a Bluthner piano from PianoTeq 8 which i turned into 8 distinct velocity layers. Everything here was sequenced on M8. the micro timing, the velocity samples, the sloppy “playing;” all programmed - nothing played live. I did my best to make it sound like what I’d do sitting at my Rhodes on a rainy day.

I would never ever clock that you composed this on a tracker, the rhythms are so organic
Really really interesting and inspirational piece

Interesting really really off-kilter melodies building up tension to 2:30 where it becomes lovely and warm
Nice contrast of emotions and great to get back to the original melody line after

Very beautiful heart

Really awesome sound, multisampling like this is something I've wanted to do on M8 ever since velocity tables were added. Very inspirational, Great stuff!

... the development on the M8 is impossible to keep up with... I saw you're post of like PianoTeq and the M8, and I was like "Oh this is gonna be cool"... I had NO idea it was because you were multi-sampling a piano into the thing...

Very cool sound overall.  I love the shimmer on the high register notes.

I really like the "simple" pianos vibe there. The "pads" behind are pretty as well. Works well on my snowy day.

If you didn't say this was all tracker programmed, I never would of guessed that very well done. I keep saying this but I really need to update my m8 and check out all the latest advances, this is really inspiring to hear coming from that device.

I'm convinced. It's very pretty.

heart that upper register melody heart

If I didnt read the description I would have believed you played it, your programed this really well.

I like the pensive feel. Impressive sequencing! Good choice on Pianoteq, it's state-of-the-art piano modelling tech. Sounds better than hardware digital pianos. That shimmer is also quite beautiful and something I do myself when doing solo piano pieces.

Nitpick: that high melody is clearly on a single track since you can hear voice stealing. But it's a detail.

Yep! I thought about splitting it across multiple but figured the two channel approach gave me the best balance of fun to make and easy to program. The chords were all rendered across multiple channels and summed to one with quick render
