It seems not; MIDI velocity is very intrinsically linked to the core concept of Pianoteq—controlling the dynamics of the physical model. However, that doesn’t stop it from being used to control any other aspect of the sound, an effect, or whatever else. It could be a potential improvement for future updates, though I see it as more of an experimental use for Pianoteq, far from the expectations of most users who are just focused on playing the most realistic piano possible, period.
The way to do it would be outside of Pianoteq using a Max patch: you convert the velocity values into CC values, send that into Pianoteq via 'from Max,' and that’s it—you can map it to anything you want. Maybe even easier: I think every DAW has a way to do this. For example, using the 'Modifier' MIDI effect in Logic Pro, or the MIDI Logical Editor in Cubase, or in Ableton Live, with a Max patch inside, via Max for Live plugin.

So far though, I haven't found the option to map velocity to a parameter. For instance, I'd like to map velocity to the attack parameter under "note effects" in the global midi mapping interface. Pianoteq has some of the most sophisticated controller mappings of any instrument I've experienced. Is velocity actually not available to be mapped to parameters?
