Topic: Question: Can Pianoteq be layered effectively?
I've been wondering for some time about this. We all agree that Pianoteq is a wonderful piano, but some of us feel it is not perfect (yet )
So the obvious question is: can Pianoteq be layered? Is this practical? For example, the Synthogy Ivory has a very nice sound to it, and some people even think it's superior bo the Pianoteq. It has superior tone, especially in the lower end, and is after all, a sample set from the great 10-foot Fazoli, as I understand it. So with the tone of this instrument combined with the playability and dynamic of the Pianoteq (note that the Pianoteq has 127 different velocity levels, and the Ivory has 10 or 12, depending on whith of the piano samples are played). So theoretically, there is more room for expression in the Pianoteq. But as I said before, the Ivory has wonderful tone, which can be heard (in it's demos (go to http://www.ilio.com/synthogy/ig/index.htm#demos to hear them).
To me, the combination of the two pianos might be a good thing. And if I've upset any of the great Pianoteq people around here, I'm sorry, but you know me: I want it all!
