Topic: PianoTeq 9 - freezing pedal & velocity curves?!

I've had PianoTeq 8 set up for so long that now, that having just upgraded to version 9, I can't remember how to do something that I used to know how to do: Fix it so that my preferred velocity curve & my preferred sustain pedal curve stay in place for all models and presets. I'm having to do this all over again, not sure why it seems to have been affected by the version change.

I'm aware there is a "freeze" pane, but I don't know how to make it work properly. What's happening is that when I load my preferred velocity curve when I'm using a give preset or model, the sustain pedal curve gets set to what looks like a default curve; and vice versa, if I load my preferred sustain curve, then the velocity curve sets back to a flat diagonal line. I dimly remember that you can marry a velocity curve & a sustain curve together as a preset, which may be what's happening; but I don't remember how I did that, if that's what I did. And again, trying to use the freeze pane doesn't work at all.

Plus, the Modartt online manual is, as always, very difficult to try & find information in (compare it to the really good manuals put out by Dorico, in which you can find your way pretty readily, even with really complex stuff).

Anyway can someone tell me how to do what I want to do? Any help will be much appreciated.

you just enable global velocity curve ( right click anywhere in the velocity window to see the menu) , you can use also toggle the G button which appears below the velocity window  ( Calibration , Reset , G). This button appears when you have defined your own curve

Thanks! This mostly seems to be working at present (fingers crossed_. However, this is one exception to Global, to do with the sustain pedal curve; as follows: my sustain pedal is a Kawai F-10H, which requires a damper mode of "Reversed". The pedal curve is now global, but the damper mode of "Reversed" is not! In other words, each time I go  into a new preset that I have not yet visited, I have to click "Reversed" for damper mode & then save the preset.

But I guess as far as bugs go, that's a pretty small bug.

The pedal polarity is defined in the midi options menu .

Go to Options/Midi and set the sustain  pedal range to 1 -> 0 instead of 0 ->1

Works like a charm! Thanks.
