I think I know what my problem is - in the demo songs "Trossigen" and "Pianet Income", softly played notes sound to me much more like a Rhodes than a Pianet. (and it sounds more like a soft hammer hitting a tine, than reeds being plucked) If I listen for long enough, forte playing occurs, and then I can hear the Pianet character. ;^)

]]>This indeed excellent news, HOWEVER, I'm puzzled. This is the sound I was expecting, and I just don't hear it yet
What's going on?
Greg.
In that video, the sound is coming from a mic on the video cam. You can actually hear the clack of the guy's fingers against the plastic keys, as well as the sound coming out of the Line oUt socket on the back of the Pianet. The guy may well be feeding his Pianet N into an amp before we are hearing it, too.
Pianoteq's version only models the line-out . As you would expect.
I have played my Pianet N with one hand and Pianoteq with the other, feeding the same set of headphones and really they are barely distinguishable (other than my Pianet has more dodgy reeds. You can make Pianoteq more dodgy in note edit, of course)
]]>I have no idea what is going on with some of those P De Ridder demos, but it doesn't matter.
Greg.
]]>Anyway, not as different from original as Rhodes...
I agree. Let's hope the Rhodes and Wurlitzer get some attention again as well. It's about noises and release, not so much the timbre. I use and like them anyway. I completely understand the current prioritization of Hohner due to the authorization to use the brand name. Plus, these sounds are rare.

Thank you, Modartt.

It's got that "sticky pad" attack and it's brighter and more focused than the Pianet T.
And not least, they've added a Fuzz Box effect, for all of us Tony Banks and Genesis fans.
Beatles, Zombies, King Crimson.
I'm just beginning to play around with it.
