Topic: Using Keyboard range extension?

Hallo fellow piano lovers,

the Steinway D has Keyboard range extension. But how to use it?

When I scroll the virtual keyboard, a whole octave moves to the right. But the sound on my piano stays the same.
Does anybody know how that works?
The manual is silent on that ...

Thanks a lot.

Try transposing the note range using your MIDI controller/DP. Scrolling in Pianoteq is only for allowing the mouse to reach the rest of the notes.

Hey Veridis,

In preferences (MIDI tab), change the "Notes Transposition" to minus 12.

You'll find transposition of notes (via your keyboard hardware for such things) covered in the manual in section "2.7 Adapt Pianoteq to your hardware".

You could probably do something in your DPiano's settings too but plenty of desired MIDI controls are baked into Pianoteq.

Cheers and happy transposing!
