1/9/2024 0 Comments Set it all virtual piano![]() ![]() With high "dynamics", "pp" playing is _very_ soft, and "ff" playing is _very_ loud. It changes the dynamic range of the (virtual) piano. Adjusting to my teacher's acoustic upright was very quick, at the start of a lesson. a straight line from (115, 127) to (127, 127) (along the right-hand top edge of the graph). a straight line from (10, 0) to (115, 127) (diagonal, rising left-to-right from the bottom of the graph, a straight line from (0, 0) to (10, 0) (along the left-hand bottom edge of the graph) I found the loudest touch that I could consistently play (without pounding with my fists), and I found the softest touch that I could consistently play, and noted its MIDI velocity (say, 10) ![]() The first attempt used Pianoteq's calibration sequence, and I wasn't completely happy with it. I did some work with Pianoteq, adjusting the velocity curve to my PX-350. Am I correct to assume that every virtual piano software will need some sort of calibration to adapt to the response of the MIDI controller? Is there any virtual piano software that "plays right" out of the box so that if it does not sound right I know it is my technique and not some miss-configuration? I followed the setting wizard in Pianoteq, but it feels like it is adapting the software to my touch (or lack of it) rather than adapting the software to the MIDI response of the piano.įinally, here is the question. I want to adjust my playing style to the way a proper piano plays, therefore, I would like to have some velocity curve that is right for my piano and than adapt myself to it. The problem I have with adjusting the velocity curves is that I do not want to adjust the way the piano plays to my playing style. I installed the trial version of Pianoteq to see if I can get a "sensitivity" similar to the one of the grand piano, but I found that it heavily depends on the velocity curves. Another difference is the length of the sustain. One example is a passage where a note played with my thumb on the grand piano definitely sounds uneven compared to the other notes in the passage, but playing on my digital the unevenness is way less pronounced. I find my digital piano way more forgiving than the grand piano. It is more the "sensitivity" of the pianos. I am not sure how to express the difference, but I would not think it is the action. Lessons with my previous teacher were given on an upright acoustic piano and honestly I never felt a huge difference between my piano and the one at the music school, but lesson with the current teacher are given on a grand piano and I certainly feel the difference. My piano is a four years old Roland DP90se. I have been learning piano for four years with a teacher right from the beginning. I have a question about virtual piano softwares and velocity curves, but before asking let me give you some context regrading my question. ![]()
