One's past always catches up eventually....:)

Bill died in mysterious circumstances, but we don't talk about him now.

how is old Bill Hayden these days, by the way?

Interesting....thanks.

I've just tried the same test with my P140, and there is no difference in the sound between a quick release and a slow release. Which ties in with the note-off having no velocity parameter.

it certainly does *something* ... I couldn't tell you exactly what though.
It's a subtle effect, one that you hardly notice, but it is a definate improvement.

Using my Kurzweil MIDIboard (which has a slider for note off sensitivity) I can get the biggest change if I hit a big hard chord, sustain it for a couple of seconds, then lift my fingers off the keys.
The difference in sound between lifting my fingers off very fast, or very gently, is then quite marked.

Could someone confirm for me the Pianoteq response to a midi note-off command ?

I believe that note-off with a velocity parameter should alter the sound of the damper going back onto the string - is this how Pianoteq behaves ?

I'm asking because my Yamaha P140 sends note-off without a velocity parameter, so I can't experiment myself.

Thanks,
