#Pianoteq 5 vs 6 full version

Yeah, I know, am ready for attack, but please dont bother me with stories about dynamics, sympathic resonance, and others live digital feautures, because I already said that I like that part of Pianoteq, but at the and its a sound of piano that we hear and want, or maybe as a GRB said he prefer Pianoteq. I still wait for the next version with much more `similar` sound to real piano. of Pianoteq but I dont like the sound of it. For me it is unique instrument and I love tech.specs. Dont get me wrong, it is beautiful if we look from different angles from real piano. Rather it is something that is digitally similar to piano or should I say its sound like Pianoteq. It is very live digital instrument, but I dont agree that sound from Pianoteq has anything with the sound of real Steinway or any acoustic piano which sound we should expect to hear (close as possible) as a models in this program. I agree with above statement that Pianoteq is very musical intrument. Of course, the 'pp' passages wouldn't be quite as soft. So setting the 'Dynamics' setting a bit lower, would give you a less-loud sound in 'ff' passages, but keep the 'brashness' of a hard-hit piano string. I think that 'tone quality' is determined by Pianoteq's MIDI velocity (after transformation by the 'velocity curve'), and 'loudness' is controlled by Pianoteq's MIDI velocity and the 'Dynamics' setting.

The relationship between 'loudness' and 'tone quality' is tricky. Tweaking one, could easily force you to tweak others to keep everything in balance. There are three interacting controls in Pianoteq:ДЄnd if mixing with another sound source (e.g. Not to teach Grandma to suck eggs (because DF knows way more than I do):

Since Pianoteq and others are made for different pianos, you just got to accept the need for this. You can flatten out the lower velocities to achieve a smoother playing technique on quiet passages. You can make it less harsh, less loud from there.

#Pianoteq 5 vs 6 full version

I'm kind of down on the idea that I need to purchase the full version just to tweak up a setting that I like. It looks like this will require some tweaking. There must be some happy medium for velocity. The pedal configuration works on this version, so that's an improvement. I'm starting to think the custom curve routine is flawed. If I don't do a custom curve, everything sounds muted and dull. I feel that there's a conundrum here - if I do the custom curve, everything sounds loud and in my face. Unfortunately, to my ears, the new sound is louder and harsher than 5, especially after doing a new custom velocity curve, which wasn't much different than the old curve from 5. I didn't think it was bad before, but there is almost no noticeable lag now when I mix the onboard sounds of the CP4 with Pianoteq. I upgraded the Stage version to 6 and tried it out this evening.
