Actually I think it was a problem with my speaker set up.

My speakers produce so much deep bass that the stands they sit on would have certain strong resonance(s).

I have now put cloth under them and the "distortion" is gone.

Limiter had nothing to do with it.

It turns out when I turn the Limiter OFF, all the distortion goes away. It's so much cleaner and a pleasure to play.

It's not just the Steingraeber, it's all pianos actually; just more noticeable on some.

Try it on -6 dB.

I tried the Steingraeber E-272 today for first time since updating to Pianoteq 8.0.1.

I notice when I play some notes are quite distorted.

Especially noticeable are the notes around middle C,D,E. It becomes even worse when I have other notes sustained then I play these near-middle notes.

I have the E-272 on default settings, the only difference is Dynamics is on 55 dB, but I know this is not what is causing it.

To check it wasn't something else, I proceeded to play the Blüthner Model One AB instead - there is no such distortion.

Can anyone else replicate this issue? I think it could be a bug!
