Very interesting! I do have one question: where do I find the octave stretching in the setting? I have PQT 9 Std.

So I did find "stretching" in the advanced tuning menu. But I can't enter 0 into the setting, though I can set it as none. Is this what you intended?

Hey guys, just wanted to share an experiment I did where I tried to replicate other pianos sounds in Pianoteq.
One of my favorite piano VSTs, Piano in Blue has a warm and rich sound that is highly desirable for jazz and classical. I have successfully got a similar sound using the following settings:
Steinway B Warm
Hammer hardness: 0.50
Mic position A-B
Octave stretching set to 0 (for the low registers to thunder)
Don’t worry about things like string length cause they always make it sound worse it seems. And I recommend always using a separate reverb plugin as opposed to the one in Pianoteq; I use Valhalla Reverb.
Any questions? What Piano VST/sound should I replicate next?
