Hi all,

earlier this evening I'v got a notice that a new version was available for download. I did and installed it. Now the VST settings in Sonar are preserved. The other "saving in the GUI of Pianoteq" I didn't test yet.

Have a nice weekend,

Raymond

Hi Rod,

It looks like a bug, you should submit a support request at http://www.pianoteq.com/support_form with some details on your configuration.

Even with the new 3.05, Pianoteq standalone loads to C3 solo on startup. I don't know how to change it to start on my last preset.

FWIW, I just installed the latest version with the rock piano, and in standalone mode, it remembered which preset I had loaded and loaded up with it and not C3. So maybe it was changed in 3.0.5 so it works now?

This might be a similar kind of thing. In the last couple of Pianoteq updates, the program starts with a C3 piano, even though I shut it down with other settings. How do I get the standalone to load my last piano settings on startup?

Today I got the package. Installed everything (XP64) - Pianoteq also 64 bits version. Nothing to it. Used it as a VST under SONAR 8 Prod. Set the "sound" to Erard and played a previous made MIDI file of Chopin's Berceuse. Apart from the fact that now "velocity on every note" is utmost important, I am impressed by the sound.

Normally using SONAR and VSTi's on saving the project SONAR also saves all settings in any VSTi, so that when reloading you don't have to check if the right VSTi settings are there.

Though I set the instrument to Erard Ambience, Sonar reloads with C3. OK. One can save the preset (at the Pianoteq main window). I tried to do that, but I can't. Under Sonar it is impossible to change the name in the little form-field on the GUI of Pianoteq (as if the keyboard doesn't send any typed characters).

So I used the VST-save/load presets, with those it worked.

No harm done, I will go on trying to make those Chopin MIDI's "sing".
My compliments to the makers of this package. I already have two other Piano sample libraries (I know Pianoteq isn't sampled!) and I must say that after this one there is NONE SO GOOD!!! except for the real instrument of course.
