In fact, when I started first putting together my "player piano" (it's not really a player piano, as the keys don't move, but it is set up to sound as much like a real piano with pianoteq playing as with my stop-bar pulled out and the real acoustic piano playing), I started using monitor speakers pointed towards me. So, when someone says that it's too bright, this may be largely speaker-related. I realized this when I had my favorite presets that I used at home, and then when I tried playing the same presets on a pair of over-the-ear relatively inexpensive but half-decent stereo headphones – I found that when using the headphones I tended towards the more muted presets, versus using my monitor speakers alongside my upright piano I tended towards the brighter presets to achieve the same sound image in my brain. Playing pieces with rapid sequences of specific and separately articulate notes tended to get muddy – that is no longer the problem.Īdditionally, I have long since realized that the brightness or dullness of the different presets depends almost entirely on what speakers or headphones that each person is listening through. This was something that I thought lacking when I was first introduced to Pianoteq at version 5. One thing that I have learned about the 6.1 versus the 6.0 is that it absolutely excels at 'opening things up' and making them more realistic for various player microphone presets, especially with multiple notes at the same time spread up and down the keyboard.
I am enjoying reading all of the various comments, especially how this new 6.1 version "throws people off" with respect to their favorite instruments and their favorite presets.
