Where is the 3D? Didn't spot it yet ,thanks

It's located in the General > User Interface > Keyboard Appearance

I don’t know if it a placebo effect or not   , but this version is snappier than ever on my Mac book M4 . Playability is second to none !

I would have to agree, it feels way snappier! Performance seems to me great on my M5 too!

Thanks! There isn't much to say about the performance improvements. A part of the computation that had become quite prominent in Pianoteq 9 has been vectorized to reduce its CPU load. On Apple Silicon devices, we were also missing a compiler flag that enables fused multiply-add instructions, so there's some additional performance gain there as well.

Glad you noticed the velocity indicators, we have updated the gui toolkit we use and have taken advantage of some of its new features regarding animations. A side effect is that we also have a few new bugs so expect a v9.2.1 very soon.

The 3D keyboard was also quite complicated, so we're happy you like it

Yes, the 3D keyboard looks very nice, love it!

I can't download it now and you all made me curious now. Anybody dares to post a screenshot?

The soft pedal (una corda) supposed to move the piano slightly to the right instead of the left, right? The new 2D and 3D keyboard moves it to the left. Can anyone verify if it's a visual bug?

Yep it's a visual bug -- good catch !

Although it is also a homage (unintended, it seems) to the pianos of yesteryear.

you also have to remember to have 'midi tuning' enabled in options / midi.

Thank you so much. You are right, it works perfectly with those settings! I will quote your answer in the Dorico forum. Merci pour votre travail toujours remarquable

Aside from that though, I highly appreciate the new animations and a lot of hardworking people in the team!

Thank you, Julien,

Kudos. The new K2 presets are really nice.

Likewise I am loving the new K2 Improv preset!

Kudos. The new K2 presets are really nice.

Glad you like it! It was particularly fun creating the "a la Flanagan" preset, his music is so inspiring , I love his album "Tommy Flanagan Plays The Music Of Harold Arlen" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aux6P4HHSYA.

Did you change something to the sensitivity of velocity ?

No, there should not be any change, you can still download v9.1.2 if you want to compare.

It still works, we have checked recently, with Dorico 6. It works with the 'detune' method, you also have to remember to have 'midi tuning' enabled in options / midi.
