Topic: Weird volume issues with all pianos
Hi new user here, I have Steinways D and B only.
I am getting a weird jump in volume somewhere around A4 ascending, making the pianos unplayable. Does anyone know what I can do? I have Stage.
thank you

Sure, so long as you can provide additional information about your setup...
What info is required? Win 10?
Well possibly for starts, I would like maybe to get some reasonable idea of your setup you use today exactly how it might differ from when you were just a new user more than ten (10) years ago...
I’ve looked over your previous posts and one in particular to this one: https://forum.modartt.com/viewtopic.php...522#p13522. It is from the thread Help pleae you started over a decade (10 years) ago. Which seems to contain a misspelling of either Please or Plea.
Although, I was surprised by your second post that follows:
Thanks for the input, obviously there is an element of subjectivity, but compared to TruePiano the sounds seem very boxy and tinny even after turning of reverb and limiter. Sorry, but its true for my ears, makes the pianos unuseable.
I am going through a quality amp and Tannoy Reveals - these are OK for other stuff. I am Win 64I am wondring if there was any other parameters worth a tweak?
That is where you’ve indicated pianos unusable. Now you show pianos unplayable:

Anyway I’m on a Mac.

With whatever info you require help, you volunteer...
Never heard that one before.
Possibly a faulty midi keyboard?
You can use pianoteq to see what MIDI velocity your keyboard is outputting per key.
Alternatively you can use midiox

Seemingly, the keyboard had been fully operational with TruePiano.
Why bring up ten years ago? I did not even know I made that post. I bought Pianoteq a few days ago.
Pianoteq is a modelled piano so does not require huge resources I would have thought any modern PC could handle it. Even so I have a core 17 with 64 go of RAM . I don’t think that matters. There is a jump in volume around g 4 or a4.
It there a way of taming this, is what I am asking. Yes other VSTs and stand-alone play fine.
I have two keyboards an Arturia 88 my 2 and a Roland 700NX

How do you use pianoteq for this please

I'm just suggesting you test the readings of the velocity response from your midi keyboard, not combining that with Pianoteq.
However Pianoteq already tells you what velocities you are hitting.

Are you saying you have this problem in both the VST and stand-alone versions?

Only from your post of ten (10) years ago do I know now of any of your choice of monitors: possibly your problem.
From all your keyboards and whether you listen through headphones or the inexpensive monitors, you get a bump?
If before you really posted and shortly after, then you got no bump but get one now, it’s because something albeit in your setup changed over the time period. And, if cheap monitors even ever had a flat frequency response, originally, they could lose that especially since that might had been a very long while ago.

Hello Z,
Does this weird rise in volume also occur when you mouse click individual notes on Pianoteq's virtual keyboard? If Pianoteq behaves (as it should) when you click on individual virtual notes at the bottom of the main Pianoteq window, you should be able to play them softly (with low note-on velocity) when you click towards uppermost portion of any given note, and should play them loudly (with high note-on velocity) when you click any notes towards the bottom of said notes.
Here is my reasoning: If Pianoteq "behaves" when you use to mouse to click on individual notes, yet the volume gets "unplayable" when you use your midi keyboard ascending from note A4, then you are fairly assured the keyboard controller is causing the anomaly.
My two cents worth,
Cheers,
Joe
