Topic: Global setting request

I have been using Pianoteq Stage for about a year and was thinking it would be really helpful if there were global setting that could be set in the software. At a minimum it would be nice to be able to globally set the output to Mono or Stereo depending on your gigging situation. I would also want to be able to set the velocity to match the keyboard provided at a gig. Currently I set that in each patch and need to remember if I change a patch live to make sure those settings are updated in the currently selected patch.

I can also see the benefit in being able to override all the settings on a global basis. Sometimes I get an effect just right and then want to try it on a different piano patch. Also, depending on what other plugins I have I may want to turn off some of the action sounds as they seem to require more processing at at times that can end up being a problem. Again, I know I can set this all in each patch but that seems to be the long way to get there.

Re: Global setting request

You can globally freeze settings of your choosing to stay through patch switches

It irks me that the only way you can save a preset is in the context of one of the piano models. I would like a feature that allows me to save and load presets that only have a subset of parameters from all those that are available.

So, unlike today, where you load a preset, freeze various parameters and then switch to the piano model that you are interested in playing, this new feature, when a preset is loaded, would freeze all parameters except those that are in the preset and then apply its parameters to the piano model currently in use.

The main reason I want this feature is for its elegance...I mean it isn't all that difficult for me to keep doing things as I have been.
