Topic: Dull sound

Hello! First of all, sorry for my bad English.

Here is the problem. I have bought Pianoteq 4 Stage today and faced with the problem -  the sound is dull.

I have got the record.
Could you say is it a normal sound or something went wrong?

Thank you.

Re: Dull sound

I do not hear the sound as dull. Is there a piano sound in the back of your mind that you want to emulate? From a recording or from a hardware synth?

My first impression of the sound was as if it comes from the barrel.
Maybe I'm too used to the electronic sound of my Yamaha CLP-230. But I thought that sound should be brighter. But if you do not hear anything strange, then I won't worry.

Re: Dull sound

It does sound different from a hardware piano. I hear it as more distant. You may want to move the mics in closer and apply a little compression with a fairly long attack.

Maybe Modartt can creat some new presets for Pianoteq Play version.

But there is already already a lot for D4 model, 33 at all.

Re: Dull sound

Ok, thank you all! I have figured out.  It was my bad, sorry. Actually, it wasn't D4 Classical BA and I somehow linked it to the velocity curve preset. So every preset was sounded the same.

Anyway, everything is fine now
