Topic: Snappier quicker releases for H. Ruckers II Harpsichord

I need a snappier release for the Ruckers harpsichord.
A little clickier but not as bulky as the current release sound.

The kind of rewarding sound that begs for repetitions.

Any advice on this? Not sure how to describe it, but something like this above.

thanks!

The note-off velocity can be adjusted. If set to 100 for example, then the release will be fast, at 50 it will be slower and more pronounced. If your keyboard has note-off velocity and is set with a curve similar to note-on velocity then your playing will effect the release speed and its volume/sound.

Edit; I think the default curve in Pianoteq for note-off is a straight 100, if your keyboard doesn't send note-off values, the 'note-off' curve can be used to adjust them.

Try reducing the damping duration in the Action panel (and possibly reduce the key release noise if you find it too loud).
