- I think that sustain pedal noise, key release noise and key release duration that currently are in the options menu should be taken out of there, so that they can be saved as preset settings. Things like damper efficiency (or their number for example) should be possible to be individually configurable for each piano/preset.
- Make the sound output type (Headphones, speakers, etc) independent from preset or FXPs settings. As the user sound equipment does not (at least usually) change when changing presets, this setting should not change too. Maybe it would be better for it to go in the options menu.
- Add an option which allows to decide if the soft pedal should move the hammers sideways (like a true "una corda" pedal) or just bring them closer to the strings (like in a typical upright piano)
- Add an option to select the number of strings desired for each zone of the keyboard. It shouldn't have to be something complicated: most pianos have a section with notes with one strings (bass), one with two strings (bass-medium-bass keys) and one with three (medium and up). Have a limiter for bass keys (example: maximum two strings) if having too many strings there causes computational problems.
- Having a global string thickness setting could still be useful (instead of one slider for each section) if you don't want the user version of Pianoteq to be too much complicated.
- Include an option to set where the undampened strings section of the piano starts.
- All the above to be included in a fourth panel along with "Tuning", "Voicing", "Design". Major interface redesign needed.
- Bug correction: make default presets to have a fixed default volume. After opening a FXP file which has a custom volume setting, selecting another (default) preset does not reset it to +0 dB.
- Make FXP files to be selectable with midi program changes.
