Topic: A universal issue with ALL virtual piano soft including pianoteque
An absolutely related to all similar software issue that one cannot help noticing is the lack or disappearance of sound crispiness with the increase of music fabric density. It is an illness from which all the VST pianos suffer, and it has nothing to do with the quality of the samples, velocity layers, etc, but with the engine itself. Either the developers have to rethink the engines, or introduce some corrections with increase of music density. Seriously, many sampled performance you find on the webpages have some jazz compositions with very thin music fabric - they sound crisp, and high frequencies are very bright. But once you start playing something with all 10 fingers, god forbids, professionally and in good tempo, the sound becomes dull, muddy, and cannot be compared even to an old youtube performance, which sound much crispier. I got frustrated with this issue with all major soft, I basically tried all there is on the market. Tone and hummer hardness help but not much, since you want the sound bright and crisp, not metallic. Where do all the high frequencies go with you increase sound saturation? why does the sound becomes so muddy and dull? why it does not with real instrument and microphones?
