Topic: More upright piano options?
I've been toying with the demo version of the U4 upright, and it just doesn't seem to do the trick for me.
As an example of what I'm looking for, I guess that older & 'cheaper' upright pianos have a certain sound characteristic I'm after for.
For example, my family owns an old Daynes-Beebe upright piano passed down from my grandma (still has the original ivory keys!)
It has quite a different sound characteristic; it is much less sharp even at the highest dynamic. I even bare-bones sampled it a while ago (because I am no player, and I really liked the sound of it).
I know someone that made use of those samples (I made them public domain);

Of course it won't be as dynamic and lively as Pianoteq (I only sampled two dynamic layers, and not every single note) but it should serve as an example of the character I'm going for.
I'm wondering if there are signs that Modartt will be adding more upright options to Pianoteq, or if it's possible to make adjustments the U4 to achieve a similar sound? As the U4 is, it just isn't the kind of sound I am looking for, though it definitely has upright characteristics, and I haven't heard any similar demos among the user presets.
