Topic: Piano tuner verified?
Hello,
I am new to the forum, and a new Pianoteq owner.
Pianoteq is a unique product to be sure, and there are lots of settings to tweak! Maybe too many (or maybe not enough), but it is fun.
I used to tune pianos, and I have noticed something that bugs me...it seems like 6ths (especially in the middle C range) are 'off' somehow. Maybe they are too perfect, so it just sounds odd to my ears.
Has anyone at Pianoteq verified that the interval oscillations are appropriate, possibly with a piano tuner? You probably have, but I thought I would ask. Maybe I just need to take a break...
Other than that, I have been trying to make a preset that sounds like my PC2x,which I am discovering is not going to work. This is more like a real piano, and I am even playing it differently because of this. However, it does sound a little 'thin' compared to my PC2x.
A little more EQ should do it!
:-)
One feature I would like to see is layering, but from within the engine so it can be done more efficiently. I know I can just instantiate another Pianoteq, but that would have double the computations for resonance, etc. I would like to add more character to the sound...thicken it up. I would also like to layer/split different sounds and tunings for obvious reasons. Know what I mean?
Thank you,
JR
