Įven so, despite of this tip, many controllers would still need at least some of the approach of this velocity curves drawing you did:Īdmittedly, when i first played pianoteq version 5.4.x or so, there were defeciences in many places.After6years, weare presented with a truly PLAYABLE pianoprogram in many aspects(that many times canbeconfused withthe real thing!) The very high velocities would be like a tail near vertical position, on graphic, while the others would look more smooth. This demand a more specific velocity curve shape on graphic, to keep the very high velocities always as the more difficult to reach. This way you can keep high dynamic of playing, even if you set pianoteq velocity graphic to a lighter response, since your controller will only send velocity midi number 127 when you play hard. You start with that and use pianoteq velocity graphic to set the velocity response to your taste.

I remamber Philippe once commented about they cogitated 127 be set as the velocity where the virtual strings would broke or almost broke, as this velocity would be like simulating the limit of impact a string could hold.Ī tip I found long ago that can help, it's to set your digital piano/controller to the heaviest adjustment of playing, as this way your controller would require fast/strong playing to reach the midi velocity 127.
