As Julien was suggesting - since you are using a sequencer, and any modern sequencer hosts vst instruments, you can use the sequencer's ability to control vsti attributes (like pianoteq's harmonic spectrum) directly, without going through midi controllers. Then from the sequencer render an mp3 ...
Your sequencer's project file is the "source file"... quite frankly, in these days of vst hosting, and music notation, midi files are quite limited in what they can express...
As I see it Pianoteq standalone is for live playing - if you want to render mp3's, use a sequencer hosting Pianoteq. That would be the right tool for the job.
All the best,

In the near future, I will use Pianoteq (hopefully for live playing), but for now and the future, I need to be able to render existing recorded midi files to wave. My only other source of sound is an older Roland digital piano that doesn't come close to the sound produced by Pianoteq - if it did, I wouldn't be using Pianoteq.
One can enter midi controllers values in the midi sequencer to control Tuning, Voicing, Design, volume, and stereo width in Pianoteq, but when it comes to Dynamics, there is no midi controller for it. There are 19 variables that can be controlled with midi controllers (including reverb ON/OFF) - but Dynamics isn't one of them.
When I hold the mouse over the Volume slider, the popup box reads:
Output level in decibels. Value: +5.5 dB (midi #07): 107).
I guess my question is "if all the other variables can be controlled with a midi controller number, why can't Dynamics?"
