#PIANOTEQ YOUTUBE SAME TIME MANUAL#
I tried to put 4 of the Pianoteq instruments on one manual so I could switch between them and see the differences before buying but it seems to really confuse things! It often changes the Sound Name that I assigned to it so I think it must be re-assigning things? I even got some distortion when playing more loudly so something’s not quite right as it sounded brilliant on the interent clips I’ve seen.Īny ideas on Input/Output/Touch etc settings?Ĥ MIDI channel setting – On the video, you recommend using the SYS assigned channel. Strangely, playing notes on the Pianoteq main menu screen (where the keyboard is at the bottom) using a mouse gave a sharper and more resonant sound than playing the keyboard which sounded muffled so I guessed it’s something to do with my Velocity / Output Mixer settings? I did manage to improve it slightly by changing the Velocity to Klavier Dynamic/Logarithmic. I like to use the 4th footswitch just to the left of the expression pedal with my right foot (as it feels more natural as a pianist than kicking my foot to the left on the expression pedal) but what is the a Controller value for this?ģ Sound quality – the sound of the Pianoteq instruments is fabulous online but when I played it over my speakers (Wersi TS9000) I was really disappointed as it lacked depth and bite.

I had a quick look in the various manuals but couldn’t see anything – is there a table somehwere of the number mappings?

How can I set a lower range to cap it? I see there is a “range” setting on the Pianoteq VST MIDI screen which defaults to “off” and “12” but I’m unsure as to suitable settings?Ģ Controller numbers – the default setup shows Controllers for 64/66/67/69 but I’m not sure what physical swtiches these correspond to on the Wersi? I think you said 64 is the left footswitch on the expression pedal.

The wide choice of mostly great instruments, the sound tuning options and the short loading times make it a keeper, no question.Īnd who knows if the existing models couldn't be edited to sound more like my favorite sampled pianos.I’ve uploaded the trial version of Pianoteq after watching your 4 videos which are so incredibly helpful (thank you so much!) and have encountered a few issues which I hope you can help me with.ġ Volume – I inserted Controller 7 as suggested to control it from the drawbar volume slider rather than the expression pedal but the volume seems incredibly loud unless I set it very low to around 5-10%. I've used many different sampled pianos for a long time, I still do, and each of them has its own character and up- and downsides, besides the fact that no single piano library fits all styles.įor solo work, I'm sure I'll stick with sampled pianos for another while but for most compositions including at least bass, drums and keys or synths, Pianoteq fits the bill quite nicely. I find it amusing how one can love or hate Pianoteq in general without comparing specific piano models in the sampled vs modelled domain. Those who hate it, are they people who are used to play real pianos or people who are used to play sampled instruments? Lots of people like it but many hate it claiming it is artificial sounding. Pianoteq is much debated on the Pianoworld forum. I have heard people describe Pianoteq as feeling more responsive, more "alive", and that fits with what I've said: Anyway, this is what I've noticed with the two VST's I have, an excellent sampled VST (Garritan CFX ) and Pianoteq 7. But when you actually play them, play a piece, not just a single note, there is something that feels and I think sounds better with Pianoteq. Having said all of that, I would be inclined to agree that if you just play a single note, then the sound from the best sampled VST's may sound slightly better. I would suggest watching youtube videos by Phil Best to get an idea of how Pianoteq sounds when recorded well and played by a master player. If you listen to the best VST ever being played by a mediocre pianist, it's not going to sound very good. Also, I think the quality of the pianist can make a huge difference. Not sure, I do know on Pianoworld people seem to be in the "sampled" camp or the "modeled" camp, and I sometimes think their likes and dislikes are based more on that distinction than on the actual sounds. The examples that people have played for me have not sounded as good to my ears as the best sampled pianos.
