Topic: Is there any way to adjust the "volume curve"?

There is a setting on the VI Labs Modern U piano that allows changing the "gain response" for each MIDI velocity. It works the same way as the velocity curve, but only for VOLUME (it doesn't change the tone of each note). Seems like a really useful feature and I can't find it in Pianoteq. The dynamics slider does something similar but it is very limited in comparison.

Re: Is there any way to adjust the "volume curve"?

That's an interesting feature. Of course, it would better to have it on a note by note basis, to create an older, in-need-of-regulation piano. I would think that their configuration would lead to situations in which we created a note that was at a timbre and amplitude that was wonderful, but that other notes now had the wrong timbre or sounded too loud or soft.
