Ok, new tests are ready with Hi-Res switch On.
In less than a half cases I was able to hear the expected crescendo from, say, velocity 11 - 11.5 - 12. In more than half cases the 11.5 was as loud as 12 or 11 was as loud as 11.5 or any other combination, though some level of #88 influence was obvious. So my conclusion is quite same as after the first incorrect test: since Pianoteq have some level of natural randomness in notes volume Hi-Res implementation is practically quite useless, though it is great to have it anyway just in case.
Next, just some notes. When playing from Casio PX-150 keyboard I can notice that in about 1 of 25 cases Pianoteq discard the #88 Hi-Res messages showing just an integer velocity number. While doing the synthetic tests in a DAW I notice that the timing for the #88 changes occur is very important. I could get 100% recognition of #88 when controller changes happen at exact same time as the note plays. If you move controller change message slightly ahead or after(!) the note the Hi-Res information is added in much less percent of events. The behaviour I'd expect is that since you sent the #88 message at any given time once it will be kept unchanged until the new one arrived - but it does not work this way. I guess it is because of the internal specific of MIDI protocol realization, maybe some data flow in serial or some kind of parallel way, or some mono-poly behaviour, idk. Though it is too specific topic.
Added: not sure who read this all, seems it is all for my own enjoyment. Was able to test the incoming messages from Casio using some NI Reaktor debug tools in parallel with Pianoteq. There is some unpredicted behaviour happens in some cases from seems the Casio PX-150 side, maybe because of 3-d sensor sometimes, maybe anything else but sometimes it looks like it just does not send #88 data at all (maybe it is meant to be a zero value from it) or send it kind of not exactly in time (about 1 millisecond before the note data, so Pianoteq truncate it) ... or whatever... I'm going to stop here and just play some music.
