Topic: First impressions and a request
I recently purchased Pianoteq Stage after demoing it for some time.
While demoing, I had modified the presets and added some hammer noise.
Unfortunately, I didn't realize the Stage version wouldn't allow those customizations (and I didn't keep the presets)
If I understand correctly, the Stage version can open presets made with the full version.
If anyone would be willing to upload one, I'd be interested in a preset for the Grotrian and Steinway B (which is what I currently have) with the hammer noise slightly increased.
Am I the only one who finds the velocity scaling a bit too light in the bass region?
Compared to an acoustic piano, I get the impression that the bass register is quieter than it should be—it's a very sonorous range, after all.
I don't believe I've found a way to boost just the lower region within Pianoteq itself.
As a workaround, I created a MIDI transformer in Cubase that adds velocity to any note below G3, which works well for me.
All in all, I really enjoy practicing with headphones using either the Grotrian or Steinway B!
