So you settle for what you get with the presets, and rest content to reduce it's condition as you point out. It's much better that way. I prefer to reduce it quite a lot; at least 60 on the slider and also on the unisons.Indeed, you can mess up the sound completely if you tweak too much. I watched a video by a piano tuner explaining the parameters in more detail, that was interesting. But I'd still make it bad if I change it too much.60% on the condition slider sounds like a lot! I think it's always sounded too worn passed 90 for me.

I think it's always sounded too worn passed 90 for me.Actually, I just tried again now and it sounds okay at 60%, I even like it. Maybe being away from DPs for a few months helped with this. Before, I'd be bothered by imperfections much more.I also took a detour to compare it with the D-274. I don't have the VSL so I can't make a proper comparison, but I'm using the same piece, Chopin Op. 10 n. 1 (different recordings though, but that's the best I could get), that covers a wide range of registers. I like the bass more on the VSL samples by miles (this is probably the weakest point on Pianoteq at the moment). The resonance on Pianoteq (Steinway D, classical recording) is way better to my ears though. I'd be cool to mix both I also tried Pianoteq 7 once more, to compare the Condition with v8. I can't tell whether it's been improved on v8 because my ears are focused on the fast attack on v7 specially on the high registers I still remember recording a piece months ago and going nuts to tune this down as playing was okay but listening to the recording with presests was a bit of a torture.I'll play myself later with 60% and see how it feels compared to playing recordings, I quite liked the experiment so far. I wonder whether this is a good idea if I were to record though... it's tempting to leave it close to "perfect".

Simeon describe this in his youtube video. He uses a Cello in Kontakt and let Pianoteq control the sympathic resonance.I’ve been playing around with this feature and it’s actually really cool. A lot sampled pianos don’t have very good sympathetic resonance generators built in, so it’s great to be able to use Pianoteq for this purpose. IMO, this is the best thing about version 8, and worth the $29 if you’re upgrading from an older version.But because it feels more "alive" when you play it, it also sounds better when you're playing it.At the risk of inflaming the holy wars again, I’m going to call BS on this.

I've used Pianoteq 5 the 6 for a number of years and, while I've enjoyed the playability, in my view it never quite matched the realism of any of the sampled VST packages I own (Garritan, Ravenscroft, Synology, Galaxy, VSL, Bechstein, Production Voices, VI labs,...). I've played several hours using Pianoteq 7, trying out all of the pianos, but spending most of my time with the Steinway D, with a minimum of fiddling with settings.

Or, alternatively, an acoustic of perceived and agreed high standard..A CFX wouldn't compare to a Steinway D for example. Or even a Kawai Shigeru, which I dare say, was designed to out-gun its rival, the Yamaha.I bet there'd still be disagreement. It'd be fun to see the tempers raised, and folk chucking pianos at each other . . . ."Nobody's heard of Queenadreena"Joined: Dec 2021Posts: 117Full MemberFull MemberJoined: Dec 2021Posts: 117Some of us have fiddled with Pianoteq for years only to realise that the farther you get away from default, the harder it becomes. So you settle for what you get with the presets, and rest content to reduce it's condition as you point out. It's much better that way. I prefer to reduce it quite a lot; at least 60 on the slider and also on the unisons.Indeed, you can mess up the sound completely if you tweak too much. I watched a video by a piano tuner explaining the parameters in more detail, that was interesting. But I'd still make it bad if I change it too much.60% on the condition slider sounds like a lot! I think it's always sounded too worn passed 90 for me. But it obviously depends on taste, and it can even be useful if someone is looking for that kind of sound sound.Joined: Nov 2022Posts: 2Junior MemberJunior MemberJoined: Nov 2022Posts: 2This is a very impressive software, but I don't really like it.

Better attack and even better decay , althaugh i could swear there was still a bit synthi character in the two octaves above A440.And the bass is less muddy too.Great job, .... getting better each version althaugh going back and forth i still prefer VSL, Garritan and Embertone by some margin.Ha ha.. that is very likely the actual review will be when Pianoteq 7 is actually released!OshoMason & Hamlin BBKawai Novus NV10 + VST + Genelec 8050B monitors.Current VST favorites (in the order of preference): Pianoteq 7/VSL Synchron Concert D//Garritan CFX/Embertone Walker D FullJoined: May 2018Posts: 1,9671000 Post Club Member1000 Post Club MemberJoined: May 2018Posts: 1,967I've been away from Pianoteq for a few months after getting Garritan CFX Lite. Actually, I have been playing with the FP-30's own sound mostly this year due to impatience with respect to firing up a PC, and launching the Garritan CFX, or Pianoteq, software.But for the Adult Beginners Forum's recital I want to record using Pianoteq (it automatically records every note you play), so therefore I launched Pianoteq yesterday.And, OMG, it sounded harsh to my ears now - no matter how I changed parameter settings around, it just sounded in-your-face vulgar and rude. I would say based on this, if an analogy will

Pianoteq 7 AI. It will include a new neural network modelled acoustic pianos. Don't ask me for a release date, I already said too much.It must be a collaboration with Elon Musk. Pianoteq 7 AI will mold itself to your preferences and learn your acoustic desires to become whatever piano you want.

No more badly timed or wrong notes. Only the pure bliss of what Pianoteq thinks you want to hear/play.

Simeon describe this in his youtube video. He uses a Cello in Kontakt and let Pianoteq control the sympathic resonance.I’ve been playing around with this feature and it’s actually really cool. A lot sampled pianos don’t have very good sympathetic resonance generators built in, so it’s great to be able to use Pianoteq for this purpose. IMO, this is the best thing about version 8, and worth the $29 if you’re upgrading from an older version.But because it feels more "alive" when you play it, it also sounds better when you're playing it.At the risk of inflaming the holy wars again, I’m going to call BS on this. I’ve heard a lot of claims over the years that while Pianoteq may not be the most realistic in terms of recreating the actual tone of a grand piano, it makes up for it by having some kind
