Topic: Notes sounding for a long long time
I've noticed playing the acoustic piano instruments that the notes seem to go on for a long long time with the pedal (or key) held down. I find my use of the pedal now playing some Chopin stuff makes things sound quite muddy in places due to the fact that the sounds seem to go on for ever. I've twiddled around with the options but can't seem to reduce the sound length without changing the quality of the sound from the instrument. My pedal use was not a problem on two uprights, and old Kaps grand and also a digital Roland HP 207 I've had in the past - things sounded fine - the notes of a previous bar would fade out sufficiently not to cause problems later on. Anybody else experienced this? Do the modern grands sounds really go on for so long? I also have this problem with the Upright U4, so its not just limited to the grand instruments.
