Distorsioned (loudness) piano sound

I have experienced a similar phenomenon.  However it is not consistent.  And I notice these changes, for the most part, at night.  The only thing we share is the Scarlett 2i4.  I do have an older computer but have no latency issues at all.  And for what it is worth I am in the habit of rebooting my system before I practice/play.

I am curious if others share the experience.

Thanks for your suggestion Dibbs.

I think Moddart has set up the patches as they are (volume, dynamics etc) cause that's how it's supposed to be the most realistic experience when playing the piano, of course each user can then adapt these parameters to its taste and pleasure but I wouldn't change anything since the playability now is just perfect to me and I wouldn't like to mess up with volumes and dynamics..

However, I've already tried freezing the volume to permanent -10dB and the problem was that whatever instrument patch I loaded up, it would show up with this -10dB, no matter whether it was originally set to say i.e. 0dB or -2dB (BTW the same applies to the dynamics and touch curves).
What I am trying to say here IMHO, is that since it's impossible to preserve a fix "parameter ratio" among the different patches,  turning just the volume down to -10 doesn't represet a true solution.

A true solution in my opinion would be to have a kind of master volume which can affect to the general output dB without having to change every single different volume..

Cheers!

Hi Dibbs,

Actually that is what I was trying to say in my previous post, I edited it to show the word "freezing" but it's what I did and I also explained what the issue after that was.

Freezing parameters is a cool option, yet not a global solution.

I know I can try reducing the volume to -10 in certain patches (can survive with this), but freezing the volume won't make the trick for all patches since every patch has got different parameters, I hope I'm being good enough at explaining this..

BR!

Hi EvilDragon, I've just tried it and in fact it works, thanks. It would be nice if Moddart created that extra volume tab in the same GUI for the ease of use.

I'd also like to point out that I'm suffering the same issue with the velocity curves , since I set up my own one based on a  45º line-curve D4 patch, and then freezed it. I later realised that there are instruments with different factory curves which don't sound nice with my freezed set up.. so, for now no solution for that too (except saving modiefied patches with the curves resulted from the addition of both the own cuve and the factory curve..)

Comments on that? Anyone facing it too?

Hmmm you're right, it didn't occur to me, that will definetely make the trick, thanks again.

However, since I usually play PTQ as standalone I find it a bit tedioius if I have to open a host+the plugin everytime I want to play the piano.. I really hope these issues will be revised and considered for the upcoming PTQ updates.

I must say the rest of the programm is simply amazing, thanks Moddart!
