I often play a midi file (that I have recorded) and try various presets to see which one I like best. I may go from a C3 to an Erard for example.
What I'd like to be able to do is return to the last preset I used (like switching back and forth between channels on the TV).

]]>I would like Pianoteq to be able to play of folder of midi files, so I can select a piano and be entertained with that piano sound for a period of time.

If this idea is easy to implement, I would like this feature in Pianoteq. Would be great for many purposes, including listening to several versions of a song to decide on which to use in a project.
]]>Most requeired wishs form people here:
About the midi files.. yeah, something to help convert it to sheet. it's kind easy to program the very basic of it, I imagine. Maybe just a opition to add the notes in the sheet lines. Visualize the notes in each line... The problem is a machine interpret the music to get the duration of notes translated to a sheet. Encore do something, but is very far to be perfect.
Please let Pianoteq keep doing what it can and should do best: creating a beautiful pianosound. Creating good sheet music from MIDI files is a very complex task. All major music software (Cubase, Logic, Finale, Sibelius, and the likes) developers have tried this. Some with better results than others. But if you want my honest opinion: none of them do this job very well. The main reason is that the MIDI standard was not created (in the 1980's) with the possibility in mind of creating sheet music in the first place.
The built-in MIDI player/recorder is good enough for testing. I really hope it will never be more than that. Let the Pianoteq guys concentrate on their main task: improving Pianoteq fysical modelling to get the best pianosound possible.

2-Cure for cancer

4-A Bosendorfer 290 add-on
But If you place cure of cancer in 4- , I suggest you get some treatment ;-)

]]>Would it be possible for Pianoteq to include a similar feature, to slow the tempo of a MIDI file down, in its MIDI player section?
I've got many MIDI files that I would love to learn to play, but can't get the music sheets.

PS: But not at the expense of the lightness of the overall software.
I know Pianoteq already makes a sound on the release, but it's not the same. For the Rhodes, at least, I could hear a "wow" sound as the tines are muffled by the damplers - I don't hear this in Pianoteq. I think a rapidly swept low-pass filter might do a good job, although that might be cheating.

]]>1. Cristofori fortepiano. There are some very nice copies around that could be modeled.
2. Clavichords. Fretted and unfretted.
3. I would also love the Bösendorfer 290.
]]>When I heard a real Steinway and a real Bosendorfer timbre, I noticed that there is something not emulated in Pianoteq, like some absortion of high frequencies inside each note, differently along note duration.
Maybe it's just a matter of time to those characteristics be emulated too and we finally get a compolete natural timbre, warm and with a lot of those resonance woodness (not wood noise from hammers).
Maybe the 'Pro-version' will allow more manipulation of the sound. Maybe its new engine will add something extra to all the instruments without the need to tweak it much.
Have you tried using the Reverberation settings? You can create some atmospheric sounds from there. Maybe some sort of editing curves feature like that found in the 'EQ' and 'Velocity' settings could be introduced here (or a Woody Slider ). Also the ability to save your own presets in this section.

Just my opinion, but since wood have pores, this change the resonance aspects. Stradivarios famoust violins had special pores due a vintage treatment to avoid worms, and was responsible for the most of extra quality characteristics.

]]>I think few people in the world can play Moonlight Sonata 3th movement so well:
1. To my knowledge, VSL (Vienna Symphonic Librar) produced 2 products of 290 Imperial. The first one is called "Borsendofer Imperial" consisting of 54GB samples, which was available for users about 2 or 3 years ago:
http://vsl.co.at/en/211/442/478/449/287.htm.
The second - recently produced - called 'Vienna Imperial' consisting of 500GB samples:
http://vsl.co.at/en/211/442/478/1701/1305.htm
2. Guy Bacos is a great composer/pianist. He composed a lot of new songs and used 'Symphonic Cube' - orchestra sampled version - to demostrate his music... About the 3rd movement of Beethoven's Moonlight sonata, Mr. Bacos used 'Borsendofer Imperial' version (the first one). For Mr. Bacos capability of piano skill, yes, he is great. For the capability of the piano sound, no, it is not really convincable - although it is good comparing to other sample based libraries. (this is just my taste).
3. Guy and the other great midi programmer there, Jay Bacal, are working on new version demos. They actually posted some good ones:
http://vsl.co.at/en/67/702/704/414.htm
I like all of the new demos for Vienna Imperial: Etude in C# (Scriabin), Basson Sonata (Saint Saens), Etude Op 25/11 and 25/6 and Op 10/3 (Chopin). Also Tchaikovsky's 1st movement of the piano concerto No 1.
To me, this is a very promising sampled library.
4. However, as a faithful customer of Modartt, I would like to play Pianoteq than sampled library for its playable features. My wish is that, somehow, in the coming Pro-version, they would model Imperial 290 just like they did model Steinway for version 3.i. (I noticed something interesting: although for current version we don't see/hear extra notes except standard 88 keys, when I tried to reverse the keyboard using the recommendation/file from the other user in this forum (using this current vesion 3.i), I can play some extra basses -- really low ones. I don't remember how low it goes, but it can reach to the lowest C easily.
For short, please add my vote for modeling Imperial 290!
