A resort could be some kind of "Autocalibration", which recognizes the weaknesses of a MIDI-controller/Instrument/Human combination on a statistical basis.īecause factory-instruments can vary, one or more curves (when played with different MIDI-controllers) should be saveable with each preset.What are some of the better piano vst under say 300 and 32 bit? Rock is the usual style. I agree we have to reach the simplicity of acoustic pianos in this regard. Often people are not even aware, that it is just the velocity-response and not the modelled sound, that is flimsy. Pianoteq has so many great piano sounds, but they suffer, when a velocity-response just fits (at best) to one special Grand, but not to the vintage Electric-Pianos or the Grand Piano of the last year.

Just watch short performances on TV and how often young musicians are sitting behind their shiny Nord or something and the velocity-dynamic is so lousy, that only zapping helps Real Life is, that often velocity-response is far behind the quality, that sound-engineering has reached. Velocity induced hassles remain the Nr.1-problem in virtual-piano technology in my opinion. But this more complicated and effort than it should be. And not just the velocity maps, but also the other maps, like Sustain pedal map (I'm using continuous sustain controller). I'm used to a frozen velocity-curve in my PTQ-setup.Ī better solution seems to be to save individual velocity-curves to each preset separately. For example, sometimes hearing is degraded more on one ear and differently balanced channels are having more effect then. Or the asymmetric and reverse level in both stereo-channels has an influence. Maybe the sound-"coloration" is more velocity-responsive in one of the instruments. Hence in the moment I have no explanation, why both instruments respond differently to a given velocity-curve (the "linear" for example). I see no evidence for different velocity-responses of the output-level of Bluethner and Steingraeber. So it seems in Monophonic mode just the left mic is used and has the same room position as in soundrecording.īecause L of Steingraeber has ~ 5 dB lower level than L of Bluethner, the same drop results when switching from Bluethner Mono to Steingraeber Mono.
Steingraeber Mono (yellow) dito with L-channel of Steingraeber soundrecording. I repeated it with the Monophonic output and the result is the new green and yellow curve:īluethner Mono (green) matches the L-channel of Bluethner soundrecording.
"I'm playing Pianoteq through my CA97 and have all of a sudden found it to work wondefully well" "BUT I can attest that I've adjusted back the velocity curve to almost linear" Pianissimo behaviour improved for all grand pianos.Īnd some statements from others in this thread, that could go in this direction: The velocity-response seems to have changed in newer versions of PTQ so that my hard taylored curve is not the best fit any longer (too responsive/bright). This implies *default* linear velocity mapping.īy this accident I noticed, that the linear velocity has become much mor playable with my Kawai-Controller, than in the past. In another thread I worked with *default* settings of PTQ to have standardized conditions for measurements.
No, indeed there were some adjustments to all other models as well. I think it is gone now-I may have some previously recorded midi and mp3 so I could check further, but no high priority given this well-timed and excellent upgrade. It certainly wasn't my audio chain, and doesn't appear with piano VSTs from other companies. As mentioned, it sounded to me like some of the higher overtones were producing distortion when they interacted with each other (but I could be wrong about this). In my case, if I played a lot of notes in the higher registers-particularly if the sustain was on-I would hear this very high pitched grunge to the very furthest right when using headphones-perhaps perceptually further right than the keyboard. But perhaps it is useful to confirm that we are talking about the same thing. I suppose that there's no great reason to expound further on this distortion issue now that it is much reduced. Exactly, I thought I was the only one to mention-that extra high-pitched whining sound was present in my setup.
