Topic: PT road to be taken?

Key word "CLARITY and NOTE PLACEMENT" from top to bottom. PT has gotten the flow of an acoustic piano from top to bottom the room sim is really good. The major lack i have figured is clear separated distinction from note to note still with all the timbre between which is really hard to do not being a sample. Samples are completely disjointed you clearly hear every note u record which is why they record better but don't connect.One note key should sound like just that with hints to where it belongs inside what framed sound board with what wood type, with what type of strings, at what size just like how all that influences the sound of a guitar or real life piano. (Lid and mic positions are already there in PT) I know blah blah basically its like being connected but not..(looking left and right at the same time) and i have no idea how they can do it but if they do PT will be a real piano in a box. its not just making a modeled each sound of a piano but having each sound being built in a distinctive encasement and each sound playing from its own personal space.

i could just be talking haha let me know what u think

Re: PT road to be taken?

You sound like you're too used on samples. A real piano never has each key sounding "in distinctive encasement and playing from its own personal space", they all use the same soundboard! So your approach to this is fundamentally flawed, as real piano doesn't work that way!

You are asking if Pianoteq would be able to behave like samples do. I, for one, loathe upon even the thought of it!

Do you have the pro-version? There you could try to adjust the strike point not for note. This does change the feeling of notes being too even over the hole octave. (some like this)

Re: PT road to be taken?

to clarify when i was saying encasement i was talking about all the note keys not each having its on encasement but just that there is a distinction between notes. you can tell me that when you hit keys on the real thing each note does not have its on placement because it does and it sounds distinct based on its position on the soundboard among the tuning and hammers etc. but yes they sound connected as they should. Im not stuck on samples at all I love PT i record with PT every since i got it because it sounds like a real instr. and not a sample. Im not hardly going to use anything else except for the real thing in the studio...  but it is muddier because of the nature of the instr. your kidding yourself if you say chords mixed with individually struck notes dont sound too much like parts of one whole polyphonic tone. you its basically imho a soundboard issue it doesnt generate specific tones as much as it resonates specific tones and when you add resonates it just sounds like sounds that lack proper clear attack and silent noise floor threshold

I may be reading too much into the video, but Ray is positioned just so, you know, with the piano pointing...  Oh, nevermind!
