When I choose the largest window magnification the virtual keyboard drop below the PCs screen. Could this be made detachable and resizeable on its own. Very useful as a tutorial tool.

Ah, thank you! However, not to be ungrateful, it only works in the foreground. PianoTeq is often in the background when I need to mute it. If something were MIDI assingable it could work regardless. Well, if anything comes up, I'd be grateful.

Thanks!

Just as a fun feature, could Pianoteq have a view where the Midi scroll thing at the top be placed over the virtual keyboard as it scrolls down over each key?

Is there a case for Pianoteq to include the ability to tighten the strings on the piano? Shortening the 'Impendance' parameter creates a tighter sound, but you lose something in the dynamic range. In version three I didn't think the 'String Length' parameter made much difference to the sound, but it does now in version four.
Maybe such a feature will help create the attack in the sound that some have been longing for.

I have created a mute mini preset which simply changes the entire velocity curve to zero. This functions as a mute button. You can assign a midi event to the preset, but i'm not sure about keyboard bindings.

Get a program called "nircmd". It's free online.
Copy it to the C:\Windows folder.

Create a text file called "mute.vbs", containing this text:
Set WSHShell=Wscript.CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
WSHShell.Run "C:\Windows\nircmd mutesysvolume 1"
Set WSHShell = Nothing

Create another text file called "unmute.vbs", containing this text:
Set WSHShell=Wscript.CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
WSHShell.Run "C:\Windows\nircmd mutesysvolume 0"
Set WSHShell = Nothing

Double-click on mute.vbs or unmute.vbs ... with obvious results.

I often leave PianoTEQ running in stand alone all the time. Even when I have my DAW open it's much quicker to switch back to PianoTEQ if I quickly need to hash out something, hear a chord, a note, etc...

But it's a pain to turn the volume down on PianoTEQ and it's does't go down to zero, just - 32db.

It would be great to have a mute button and a keystroke (like M) to go along with it.

Hope this was the right place to post this..

Thanks
