Piano Sound is thin

[Lar-ZZ]

How do I make a big fat piano sound?
When I pull in an Ableton Instrument Grand Paino, add reverb and delay, it sounds good but, really small and thin.

I have added Dynamic Tube to boost output and add some drive, ad an EQ and boost the bass, but it still sounds like a small piano.
Same thing when I use Audio In a for a Yamaha MODX synth. It sounds good, but not the rich quality I expect.

I have 8" JBL studio monitors, that should be as good as it gets. Do I need more speakers?
What other effects or tricks do you use in Ableton 12 to get a big full sound.

For a big piano sound try playing with some (or a lot of compression). Piano's are hard to get right. It is why there are so many sampled piano libraries out there.

When I am playing live, I could add more force. My fingers ae probably a big part of the problem.

Is there any way to add more velocity in Ableton MIDI data.

Use the MIDI Effect 'Velocity'.
It can change low velocities to higher ones, which is what you need.

Velocity, OK that's the ticket. That may give me some options.
That is definitely worth experimenting with.

I am also going to try moving my monitors. Right now they are 6" off the floor under my desk.
I am going to move them out from under the desk, 6 feet from me. I may add a set of 5" monitors to fill out the sound.

MIDI Velocity made a huge difference, Thanks.
It appears that everything I click in is at medium velocity so there is a lot of room to change.
