About Hi-res CC#88 possibly emulated by an upcoming version, you honestly have to admit standard MIDI as a long accepted format is one older than a lot of the adult forum members and players today who are just old enough to vote in their governments and elect whoever should represent them.
As a standard format it’s been around a lot longer than MIDI XP and HI-res CC#88. Which were timely introduced in PIANOTEQ as soon as it became obvious modeled instruments are going to have none of this now standardized velocity limitation that had been before a given largely with sampled instruments. The sampled instruments which have perhaps at best a maximum of sixteen (16) samples or volume examples prerecorded onto any given note of the instrument such as the piano, even it with its multitude of overtones possible in the real world acoustic version specifically.
Basically wherever you played a digital keyboard, standard MIDI had always been accepted and therefore unquestioned before any advent of a modeled instrument invention, before that had been even dreamed or conceived.
This is a time when digital pianos could offer portability over acoustic counterparts especially to gigging musicians who played the more popular forms of music, about which people gladly danced, and with it coming from stages and inside contemporary recording sessions of an era. Beginning just before 1980 via disco music, crowds swarmed to electronic sounds. Few if any at the time of the early formation of the MIDI standard seriously considered an electronic keyboard or a digital for Dvořák.
Students at all levels today are learning to play also at digitals more than acoustic pianos. However, just how accurately the digitals emulate the sought after sounds and key behaviors of the acoustics appears in the hands of decidedly digital piano keyboard manufacturers: greatly outside the reach of the young learners expressly.
PIANOTEQ is in a unique position.
Although the vast majority of a large body of works in standard MIDI was recorded before its invention, should developers decide, upon an upgrade it might just permit those works along with any performances by the younger student performers themselves some of the badly needed actual real world velocities, normally, attained by only acoustic pianos whether or not a student can afford them now expressed at a usually entry level in his or her own home.
If right now you can’t afford to sound as though you’ve unlimited velocity choices at your finger tips, when you’ll want to convey all the intensity of your emotions and passion with which you really played, PIANOTEQ conceivably might better accommodate you with MIDI XP and HI-res CC#88 someday no matter your keyboard or resources.
Said another way, that is, it just might allow you to eventually not only play those files which have been costly made from MIDI XP or HI-res CC#88 formats, but also conveniently emulate them from even an economical entry-level digital keyboard. One which beginning students often in any dorm or home normally use.
