The new Thunder Pedal can result in really great sounds, and I'd like to create presets for this. Unfortunately there is no way to assign the pedal to be On by default, like there is for the Celeste pedal (which is set to the reversed state for the Felt presets). Please add a setting to reverse it also for the Thunder Pedal. Thanks!

As far as I know , you can invert any pedal by inverting the range in the midi option so instead of 0 , 1 enter 1, 0
Note : enabling the on by default is not equivalent to inverting the pedal .
Enabling the on by default semantically, means that the pedal is fully depressed at startup ( which can achieved scripting in a DAW) but the pedal keeps its normal behaviour .
Inverting the value , is a trick that sets the pedal on by default , but the behaviour of the pedal is different as inverted
Hope it helps
Thanks for the reply.
I tested the range inversion in the MIDI mappings, but this did not set the Thunder mode enabled by default.
The goal here is to have it enabled by default, immediately when you load the preset, without having to touch any pedals. Basically this would allow creating presets where the Thunder mode is expected to be _always on_, just like for the Felt presets the Celeste pedal is always on ("Reverse the celeste pedal" box is checked).

If you want to use the standalone app, in absence of this functionality, what you can do is write a startup script ( here I list the sequence for Mac OS, similar logic would work on windows
1) setup IAC virtual driver (on Mac) or loopmidi (on Windows) and make sure Pianoteq listen to the virtual device
2) create a bash script to be launched in command line ( it can be associated to an icon on the desktop that contains the following instructions :
open -a /Applications/Pianoteq\ 9/Pianoteq\ 9.app
while ! pgrep -xq "Pianoteq"; do
sleep 0.2
done
sendmidi dev "DRIVER" cc CCnumber 127
where DRIVER is the name of the virtual driver seen by the system ( IAC , midi loop or other )
The loop is to make sure pianoteq is fully launched as the open command is asynchronous.
the 127 value being sent to the CC number will press the thunder pedal down at startup
