This is for reading a given MIDI file. If moreover you want that MIDI file to be the one loaded by default in Pianoteq, go to Options -> General and in the MIDI player section at the bottom, browse and select the MIDI file you want to use, and restart Pianoteq.

Ok, I understood what Mr. Beemer was asking about and it could be a feature maybe. Double clicking on a .mid file could make Pianoteq just immediately  play this file or at least load it into the built-in player. As for now if you manually associate a .mid files with, say, Pianoteq 5 STAGE.exe then double clicking just tries to open another instance of the Pianoteq without loading or playing a file.

Ah,yes, I misunderstood the question.

Philippe,

Could you advise me how I can get a mid file to open ready to play in my Pianoteq 5 Stage?   I have associated mid files with Pianoteq but it is always the "Blues Demo" file that plays.   I have to manually load the Blue Monk file from file explorer.

Good job. Would be nice if you could add some retro editing, narrow band equalization, compression, and background noises, close to original one. There are some software that just add it by a click of a mouse, though the best of them is rather expensive, I'm talking about the Audio Ease Speakerphone.

Thank you guys for the comments...
Andrei, I could have gone for a more exact replication of Corea's performance, as you suggest. But I was impressed by the fact that what I'd have called "plastic" in the attacks of the D4 was actually there in the real thing, showing that I had preconceived ideas about the timbre of the Steinway.

Jan

Fantastic, thank you very much Rob!

you're welcome, Philippe!
