			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Hi!</p><p>Pianoteq is great! Apart from the &quot;standard&quot; piano setup, I aslo use Pianoteq as a practice tool for organ with the various harpsichords presets. Indeed, in the baroque era, double manuals harpsichords were used along with a pedal-harpsichord (on the floor) for organists to rehearse.&nbsp; (see: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tv64B1bG5jA">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tv64B1bG5jA</a>)</p><p>Unfortunately the current Pianoteq &quot;standalone&quot; cannot play the same note more than once from different midi channels, which make sense in the context of a piano but not for harpsichords that routinely have two (or 3) sets of strings and often two manuals. </p><p>It is possible to circumvent to problem by using Pianoteq as a VST. In my case I use Synthedit (VST Host) and send the 3 keyboards (pedalboard) midi messages to differents instances of Pianoteq with different voicing characters.&nbsp; It works but there are limitations:</p><p>1) high CPU usage, I had to turn off reverb<br />2) no sympathetic resonnance (and other tone rich effects) between the 3 keyboards)<br />3) Since the 3 Pianoteq are usings similar models, playing the same note on different manuals at the same time results in an unnatural sound (that even happens with Blanchet and Grimaldi playing together) </p><p>Extending the mathematical model to allow multiple string sets on the same soundboard would be a dream!</p>]]></content>
