Topic: Wishes for the next versions (PTQ 7.x.x - 8.x.x)
On the eve of the New Year I want to make a wish for Santa Claus for the next issues of Pianoteq. What can be improved? Of course, much depends on the performance of the computer, but you need to dream!
So, I would like (in order of importance ..):
1. Improvements in the interstring impedance. It seems to me that there are still moments for improvement in the interaction of strings in one note and the strings of nearby notes. Interactions on the shtega. (if here it is deliberately reduced to be able to play on modern computers, then .. well, what to do .. wait ..) maybe in this moment this enchanting and flickering piano sound hides. In this video example, he clearly comes up with:

Yes, Pianoteq gradually fits into this ..
2 and 3. Clarify the behavior of notes depending on the velocity and the width of the unison. When I was recording a piano with different settings for unison (in this post: http://www.forum-pianoteq.com/viewtopic...19#p950619 )it seemed that the behavior of the note is more diverse depending on the tuning of the width of the unison. Unison gives either electric and flat, short and blunt, spatial and singing, voluminous and flickering .. here Pianoteq is a bit modest. And the dependence on speed is more uneven. It feels like it sometimes happens that for a low velocity you need some parameters of decay and behavior of strings, and for high velocity a little different. Perhaps you need some special curves for the interaction of the available parameters from velocity.
4. Realistic sound of parking dampers. While the dampener sounds like paper. Not enough felt body ..
5. Morphing of the available parameters in real time. Some parameters emit a crackle in the sound as they change. There are interruptions in sound when moving eg microphones. Perhaps it would be nice to be able to move microphones, change many parameters and settings directly on the sound without interruption and distortion. Perhaps it is extremely difficult, but we dream). Perhaps a smooth morph between instruments A and B.
6. Additional file to the midi in which the information about the instrument and about the changes of the instrument parameters during the game are recorded. As for example in the program Lightroom from Adobe. Only with the preservation of the history of changes in time and the ability to apply them when listening to the midi. You can call them automation.
And what would you like?
