One easy way to do this without losing the bottom keys is to set the diapason at its lowest value (220 = 440/2). Can't halve lower than that though if you play at 415 Hz...To go lower you can use the MIDI transpose function as a complement but then you lose some keys at the bottom.

Hello dear Pianoteq users,

i love playing the Harpsichords and Clavichord available for Pianoteq.

I'd be glad if you could add a 16 foot Register Harpsichord to the Instrument List!

Like for example the Neupert that Karl Richter played.

Some examples:

(16 foot register used in the Saraband2 starting at 2:48min in Video 2)

"(..)
Recent musicological research has shown that Johann Sebastian Bach explicitly required in fact a harpsichord with 16'-register for chamber music, including a pedal harpsichord below it with two 16'-registers. For his weekly concerts at the "Zimmermannschen Kaffeehaus" he had a double manual harpsichord and a pedal harpsichord at his disposal, both made by Zacharias Hildebrand. (..)"

Thank you!
