Hello, I would be very happy if somebody who owns the PRO version could tell me something more about the MIDI editor, since the video is very short and not clear:
-are there any other videos about it?
-what is the main difference with any DAW midi note editor?
-are the bars for automatically adjust the velocity of a series of note?
Thanks in advance
What MIDI editor? There is no MIDI editor in Pianoteq. You just get a few extremely rudimentary options to quickly trim events before or after the position where you clicked, or choose which tracks should be played.
There is no DAW-style piano roll editor in Pianoteq.
Maybe he is mistakenly referring to this note editor tutorial video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_cont...2yEvUpqraY

Sorry, I meant the note editor, as the guy mentioned above! I apologize...
Do you know what can you exactly edit with that? velocity and pitch of the note? Or does it have an "automatic fixer" for a series of notes?
It would be very helpful if somebody tried it and could tell me

It is a tool in the Pro version to edit note by note a given parameter of the model that is only available globally in the Standard version. See the list of parameters in the menu shown around 0:55. They correspond to GUI items like for instance the Volume slider that has a menu entry to vary the volume of each note on the keyboard. The goal is to personalize those parameters to your taste and save them as a preset for playing. It has nothing to do with MIDI files.
Hi Masterfelixxx,
"Note Edit" causes a semantic wording issue with crossover between 'MIDI specific' and 'Pianoteq specific' use.
Nice explanations above - just in case you're further interested or looking for more help..
a)
in MIDI (and in DAWs) meaningful "note editing" will require an instrument already feeding a signal in (are we editing a piano or a drum - different parameters will apply to our 'production' decisions), and then subsequently may refer to typical things like:
velocity
length
pitch bend
is pedal up or down etc
That's limited to "MIDI note data" which you alter inside a DAW (but only changes MIDI parameters - not the instrument itself).
b)
In Pianoteq, the instrument itself, "Note Edit" mode - is about editing what happens inside Pianoteq - it's the internal parameters. The final sound you edit (bright piano, or soft etc) is what you send on to your speakers/headphones, or to a DAW for "MIDI editing" above.
Nobody will have unlimited time to explain the bajillions of things you can do with note-edit in Pro - I've been doing it for years and will be smart enough to know that I will never know everything
In short you can change many parameters all documented in "help" on the main web page and in the manual and across this forum.
Many highly skilled people use Pianoteq - it's worth it if you want or need higher levels of control over your piano sounds.
I can tell you it's a real joy to get into if you're at all interested in using piano in music; a higher than casual level of interest helps.
Pianoteq Pro is the advanced version of Pianoteq. It includes the following additional features:
Note per note adjustment for physical parameters: tuning, unison width, hammer hardness, strike point, string length, spectrum profile, soundboard impedance, damper position... This note per note adjustment is available in the Standard version only for tuning and volume.
Sample rates available up to 192 kHz (limited to 48 kHz in the Standard version). Be aware that a high sample rate will generate a massive increase of CPU load.
BTW:
The manual contains very good information to get you started in understanding most of the components available to us - worth a read! (Help menu/Manual).
A lot of people will want the extra controls for really personalising a piano sound for playing or recording and for sure, some people who make modern music will enjoy pushing these parameters to their limits to find interesting and unique non-piano sounds.
No matter how you want to use Pianoteq, you can find it meets you well - from basic tweaking of brightness/softness to completely complex production styles.
