Sustain, Sostenuto, Harmonic Pedal and Una Corda (the soft pedal) are all catered for and these can be assigned to a midi CC message by right clicking. I don't know if there are truly N scenarios (in a scientific sense), but there are a helluva lot more than 127. Pianoteq is very flexible when it comes to handling both pedals and master keyboards. In some ways, even samples are more "real" than a modeled instrument, because samples actually originate from an authentic sound source.īut, make no mistake, there are many, many (exponentially) more sonic possibilities with a modeled instrument than a sampled one. I can understand how that may be, because the entire instrument is 100% artificial. However, this comes at a sonic price and some people have remarked that the tone of Pianoteq is artificial-sounding. Once you account for those things, there are way more than 127 possible tones per note and to what degree? (these are settings in Pianoteq) How many microphones are currently set up and where are they positioned? How much resonance has already built up from the other notes that have been played? Are the mallets hard or soft? Etc, etc, etc. Bechstein D 282 with its singing, richly coloured voice, suitable for many different music genres. it's not just 0 or 127 anymore) What is the length of the piano bed? What material is it made of? Is the lid open? If so, to what degree? Is the piano "old" or "new"?. Authorized by Bechstein, the Pianoteq model reproduces the outstandingly brilliant and powerful sound of the C. What note was played before? What note is being played now? Is a pedal down? And, if so, which pedal? (and to what degree is the pedal "down".

However, a modeled instrument takes into account a lot of other things. With a modeled instrument, there are so many other factors.

but it is also ONLY 381 tones that can EVER come out of that instrument. Vintage Tines models a popular instrument used by jazz luminaries like Herbie Hancock. If you sample a single piano key at 127 velocities and 3x RR, that is still 381 possible tones. With a sampled instrument, there are only so many tones (samples) that can be produced.
