Thank You Johnrule!

Sometimes I think that the velocity curve makes the sound a little bit hoarse if it isn't totally right... If the velocity is little lower than I want it, it kind of give this effect... I don't know if its only I that feel like this or???

But to find the perfect velocity curve takes a lot of testing, and sometimes I don't know if I always want it the same way either...

The limiter in Pianoteq is not very good ...turn it off, and turn the volume down to avoid distortion. You can fuss with the settings between dynamics/volume/limiter, etc. to find the sweet spot, but it might be easier for you to just use an external limiter.

Lately, I have been turning both the limiter and the reverb off so that I can use external processing...that seems to fix it for me.

That would be a solution... But do you know any virtually emulated solvent?

Try to clean the strings with a proper solvent.

Sometimes I feel like the sound in Pianoteq is is kind of ... hoarse... Maybe this is the same that some people call synthetic or lack of overtones, I don't know... I'm currently using Pianoteq Play and I actually like it a lot, but I don't know if theres a way to make Pianoteq to "clear the throat"... ;-)

God Bless you!
