Can I freeze NOTE EDIT for indiv note volumes ? (Pianoteq Standard)

Hi Wade,

I'll step through in case I'm missing something - hope this is it..

Q1 about freezing a single note edit.

1
Open a piano, preset like 'Steinway D Home'.

2
Double click volume slider like you mention doing.

3
change a random single note to whatever you can see, like say B2 down to -27dB so you clearly see the yellow line.

4
click "Freeze" param button and choose to freeze only "Main Volume".

5
then select a different piano and or preset like the 'Steinway B Home'.

6
again double click volume - check to see the yellow line

If you can, then that's the parameter you want to include in your freezing technique.

You can't 'save' that by itself like a separate preset file - but you don't need to if you make an overall default piano preset of your own, as in pick a piano, create all the tweaks/defaults you want then begin your sessions with it, select freeze all (except maybe string length) and any piano you click should contain everything you did - including your volume or other single note edits when choosing "freeze all".

In my case, I save swathes of edited pianos with different names and info in the editable info section in case I forgot what I did to it in particular. I will freeze certain ones and apply to others then always SAVE that sucker as it's own preset - to a folder like "My presets" or "2019" to keep them away from the defaults.

Q2 about roll off top end etc

You can use note-edit to make a 'curve' for your volume - the blue control points are handy for dragging up and down. I sometimes create a dip in left-hand mids this way (just for playing, I like to make chords accompanying melody a little softer sometimes). If you do this for your killer default, then freezing all should apply this to all other pianos you click on.

If I haven't missed something, then this should do it - Hope that's what you need

[EDIT to add] - re clarity or brightness - without saying either way is good or bad - It can help to lower the velocity of playing (or input velocities if editing midi) and up the volume on the sound system - even if hammers are softer you can still get clippy trebles at 127 (not much classical music calls for it all the way through - like some of my own modern music of the past eek) but still have a much calmer floor - just added in case it's not something tried yet or with much time given to it.

Thank you Don Smith, this works. Before I posted my question I tried this procedure and it did not work. But I must have done it wrong, because now it works.
Thank you Qexl, good info.

I think a LOVELY enhancement feature would be a 2nd layer of note volume control, that I could set and save and apply to all instruments, that would not destroy the instruments original note volumes, but would roll off the top octaves volume like I need.  In recording in a DAW this is feasible and common, you can use two EQ's in a row, or two compressors in a row, on the same channel, where each one has a different purpose...

I have a feeling very few people are asking for this feature though. So I will work it out somehow.

Thanks again !!!!!

P.S. I already play with a really soft touch when I want to, that is how I can easily notice that the instrument is usually NOT responding with a soft enough sound in the top two octaves, unless I correctively reduce the note volumes up there.
