Topic: Could someone please explain Pianoteq velocity curves to me?
I've used the calibration wizard on my NV10S, but I'm not really satisfied with the sound at the recommended setting.
Could someone please explain the considerations for the curve settings in some detail and what I'm seeing in the graph when I'm playing? I've searched YouTube for tutorials but have yet to find a thorough explanation. I've tried pulling the line up at the middle and heard how the action seems easier but there appear to be less dynamic range and the sound is 'harder'. Lowering the curve manual seems to give a nicer sound but less responsive action (though this can be somewhat overcome by raising the volume.
I'm confused why some cure settings are a gentle arc while others have a more zig-zag appearance. On the curve suggested by my calibration session, the graph tops out before the right side and is flat to the right. Not sure what that signifies.
Here are my current NV10S settings based on the calibration wizart and a slight manual tweak I did on the sustain pedal curve to better support half pedaling (not entirely sure what I did, but it worked! I wasn't getting half-pedaling until I pressed the pedal 3/4 down and now I'm getting it at the midway point as expected)
Global Velocity = [0, 5, 41, 77, 85, 103, 127; 0, 0, 32, 64, 96, 127, 127]
Global Sustain Velocity = [0, 10, 51, 116, 127; 0, 0, 84, 127, 127]
Could someone please help me to interpret what this means from a practical standpoint?
