Ideas, suggestions, bug reports... (Page 2 of 2)

You can already set the lid to an arbitrary angle. It's not just a switch between open or closed.

Remove – why not, but I don't need arbitrary positions between the current 1.0 and 90 degrees. In general the priority should be a proper replication of the real instrument's normal features.

I'd rather like the fixed positions of the real instruments to be implemented.

A small bug report:
(This has been mentioned in the forum before by at least two people some time ago in relation to the VPC-1, but maybe it got missed, so I thought to try reporting it in this nice thread...)

On receiving a note-off velocity value of 1 (and I think slightly higher values as well), Pianoteq (tested on Linux with 5.2.1, but this problem has been present for some time) does not in fact stop the corresponding note. At least with a VPC-1, this is easily reproducible by very slowly releasing a key. If the note was struck forcefully before, one can notice that no dampening whatsoever occurs on release in this case, i.e. there is no discernible difference to never releasing the key at all. (And yes, this does occasionally occur during normal playing as well.) The MIDI monitor confirms that a note-off with velocity 1 is the culprit.

While a workaround is to adjust the note-off velocity curve in Pianoteq, I still suspect this is not actually desired behavior.

Best,
Daniel

In the "features corner":
- a mute button could help those who make comparative tests ;
- also for the tweakers, it would be fine to save (overwite) a velocity curve without the need to "save as"

Here's a small one i've been meaning to add to this list but always forgot -- missing "Save" item from "velocity" popup menu:

When you're tweaking a velocity curve (or just want to make one quick change to several curves) it's kind of annoying to have to select "Save as...", then retype the exact name of the mxfp, then "yes" to overwrite existing mfxp each time.

/* edit */ oops, i didn't see stamkorg had already made the same feature request:

This just happened while using Pianoteq (vst) in Renoise:

I don't see anything wrong (on MacOSX). Don't forget you have to select a note by double-clicking on the bottom control rail to be able to draw anything, either one harmonic at a time or by moving the mouse to draw a series of partials. Unselected notes are a lighter shade of yellow. A single click only displays the available harmonics set.

julien: it's not (apparently) reproducable, it just happened once randomly. I was using two instances of Pianoteq in Renoise, one with the D4 sound, and another with the Pleyel. If it happens again, i'll check the renoise log file and send it on the page you mentioned, before restarting renoise. Didn't think about that, sorry

Hello guys,
I don't know if this request was never previously mentioned ...

Among the features that I would like to see in the new release of Pianoteq there would be the implementation of a small section for adding a pad sound.

This section should provide a button on / off, a generation section also minimal for the timbre (some minimal  parameter like timbre n. 1-2-3 .. LP Filter, ADSR, Effect association, CC64 association on / off) .

the on/off status of this section should be saved along with the piano preset  ....

I forgot ... the sound generation could also be a "physical model type" (obviously a very simple version) so as not to overload the program size..

For all those who use Pianoteq live in areas not strictly classical, I think this is an remarkable improvement ...

What do you think about?

Ciao!!!

Sure EvilDragon, I also use layers with other programs now.

But for the use  in a very "easy" live context, to think you can  use only a keyboard connected to the tablet without other programs from having to load and manage not mind ...

I could only use Pianoteq stand-alone.

It is not important for me to have a lot of sounds to use as pads ... being able to create 3 or 4 would be more than sufficient and I don't think this features make the program less professional in the eyes of purists ..;)

I think that even "Ivory" use this feature

Sorry for my bad english...

Ciao!

Big history is good until you try to find something in it. 10-20 entries is a sufficient amount if you want save a recording you did accidentally and recently. In fact this is why we need this tool, it's not a way to eliminate file saving/loading at all.

Hi delt,

have you tried a normal xsession via SSH to your remote "Pianoteq-server"?
PTQ is started remote then and the GUI is rendered on your local PC. No remote desktop/GUI necessary for this.

I was thinking more like, having a persistent/long-running "pianoteq --headless" process running independently of the graphics system (be it x11, wayland, or quartz) and then being able to pop up a UI window to control it from another pianoteq process, either on the same host or another host. You'd run something like "pianoteq --remote hostname:port" or just "pianoteq --remote hostname" to use the default port (which is to be arbitrarily chosen by Modartt if they implement this feature ) and the pianoteq GUI would pop up, controlling the --headless process.

The way i see it, the two straightforward approaches to this would be (1) something similar to VNC, where the --headless (ie. server) process sends pixel data to the --remote (client) process and the --remote process sends mouse and keyboard event data to the --headless session and (2) where only the actual settings would be exchanged between the two processes, in some newly invented format (which, again, is to be arbitrarily invented by Modartt if they implement this feature ) The (1) approach would be less efficient in terms of bandwidth use, but would be more tolerant with version mismatches.

Anyway, just a thought... This would also solve the problem (or improve/simplify the situation) of having pianoteq running on a PC or mac, with the interface showing up on a tablet, which a few people have mentioned recently.

I used the arrow keys instead of the mouse to tweak the parameters. This is possible by clicking the parameter you want to tweak. I expect the value to increase by clicking the up key and decrease by clicking the down key but the opposite is the case.

Thereby I had the idea that the up/down keys could be used to skip through the parameters of the respective panel once you clicked one parameter and the left/right keys to change the values. There had to be found a special solution for the spectrum profile.
