Topic: Sostenuto pedal problem
Hello
I'm new to Pianoteq so maybe I'm making a mistake somewhere, need a little help !
I'm working in Cubase on a piece which uses sostenuto pedal depressed from beginning to end.
The selected notes are roughly 1&half octave from the lower notes of the piano, so except a few moments with regular sustain pedal
only the lower notes are sustained.
While composing I have a lot of isoled midi clips in my session that I cut, paste, playback over and over, etc.
So in order to get what I need, I just added in the beginning a little clip on one of my two tracks (right & left hand)
that depresses every low keys softly, action the sost pedal (CC64, with envelope overlapping the end of that clip to keep it running "forever"),
then release the keys midway.
Immediately after that dummy clip I can check in Pianoteq that only these notes are sustained, as I wanted.
But when I started playing a lot of notes (all over the keyboard) with already written clips, I got very strange results.
I stopped playback, then realized a few isolated notes in the middle register where also sustained for some reason.
I checked but none of those clip include any point in the CC64, and there's no sustain pedal either.
At first I also imagined some sympathetic resonance happened, but it continues forever as soon as those clips are played
Do you have any idea of how I could fix this? Or maybe a suggestion for a different strategy?
Thanks in advance !
