I suggest an option to randomly vary the initial phase of the unison voices for the Chorus effect, because at the moment repeated strikes sound too similar to one another. (I am assuming that the Chorus effect is simply created by detuning the unisons, of course.)
What I hear is that the effect has exactly the same initial "sweep" sound for repeated strikes, which is not always desirable.

Put this on the EP instead, it sounds soo good

Some times it would be great if Pianoteq could host vst effects when used stand-alone.
The E-piano effects inside Pianoteq is just not good enough...
But, there are some free vst hosts to use Pianoteq inside where you can chain effects allso, that's maybe the best solution anyway
Try the Audio Damage chorus, it is really good
Thanks Olepro, the demos certainly sound very good. (haven't tried it with Pianoteq yet) I know there are a plethora of other chorus VSTs out there too.

My thinking is that simpler is better. Having Pianoteq as a complete standalone piano solution, without external effects, has a lot of appeal. One clean, simple interface.
But to be that, IMO, the effects should be improved upon. A real stereo chorus, not detuned unisons. A better tremolo- both the Pianoteq Rhodes and Mr Ray73 Mark II sound great to my ear, but I think Mr Ray's tremolo is way better. And at least have low and high damping on the Pianoteq reverb- it's a nice reverb, but not very flexible. I won't even get into convolution reverb. My two cents anyway
