Jolene,

already tried another velocity curve? Which MIDI-Controller do you use?

Hi Jolene
Have you got a better example of an upright. I couldn't really make out the sound on the clip. It sounded high pitched.

Try moving:
[Tuning] Direct sound duration slider to the left: e.g. 0.25 Creates a higher pitch.
[Voicing] Spectrum profile [slider 1: -1.60] [slider 2: -0.30] like a graphic equaliser these add base (left) to treble (right) to the notes.
[Design] Cutoff slider to the right: e.g. 1.65. Creates a higher pitch.
[Design] Duplex scale slider to the right: e.g. 1.25. Creates a brighter sound.

I made an FXP file, but rather than post it, it was based on the above adjustments and since I couldn't really get what the sound you wanted, I thought I'd leave it up to you.

Was is something like this?:

A brighter upright?

I've just started experimenting with Pianoteq, and I like it very much, especially the U4, but I keep trying to make it brighter. I would like to get a piano sound like this:

I've been playing with hammer hardness, and I keep pushing the eq to somewhat extreme settings. I'm not sure I should. Maybe some expert tweaker would give it a try (or point me in the right direction)?
