			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>I own a VPC1 and used the integrated pianoteq curve until recently. I visited a piano dealer and tested (smaller) Yamaha, Kawai, Steinway and Bluethner grand pianos.<br />I realized that I was playing too loud, because of the attack I got used to with the VPC1. I needed to be way more lighter, to get a p or pp. <br />Especially the Steinway was very different. Smooth scale runs were easier due too less unwanted explosiveness.<br />So I created an own curve, which lets me work harder (=lighter) to play more quiet. Too low velocitys shouldn&#039;t give sound at all (I think &lt;=2). <br />Also the velocity curve shouldn&#039;t be too explosive in higher velocities. A fff should be very hard to achieve.</p><p>So I came up with a curve, which looks like it sacrifices expressiveness. <br />But I think its way more realistic. The sound is more overwhelming and the virtual piano seems more like something grand you can only tame with a light touch.<br />Same dynamic range is still possible.<br />Mezzoforte or mezzopiano scale runs are the only things which seem more easy to pull off cleanly.</p><p>What do you mean, is an expressive curve like the integrated pianoteq-curve never realistic?</p><p><span class="postimg"><img src="https://i.imgur.com/3D5wvZP.jpg" alt="https://i.imgur.com/3D5wvZP.jpg" title="https://i.imgur.com/3D5wvZP.jpg"/></span></p>]]></content>
