The secondary way I address this I go to the note edit menu, select "attack envelope" and I hit the random button a couple of times. □ I simply pull the forte hammer hardness down closer to 1 and I get a Steinway which is more like a golden retriever and less like a doberman. The primary way I address this is to go to the voicing menu where the default "hammer hardness" is as follows piano=.30, mezzo=.80, forte=1.50. Had that feeling? I hear it in the demos sometimes because they are playing the presets. It's like it's trying to bite your ear off. Especially at high velocities and especially with their Steinways. But if you ever try out a PT piano yourself, I recommend playing with two settings. It's because my primary objection to PT has become addressable for me. PT was a practical compromise in the early days but today I tend to prefer it to sampled pianos, not just because I get 128 velocity levels or because I can remove the shine of the room reverb if I want. But several soft instruments are approaching playability, which to me means that if I am having a tough day, I can noodle on them and get lost in them. Turning to pianos I have a Model L in the next room which no soft instrument is going to come close to. I am that way with certain analog sounds, and with real versus digital pipe organs. However better ears than mine can probably hear something which tells them "this is not real." I get that, even though I can't hear it as much personally. I used to hear a metallic timbre in the PT 5.0 which is when I hopped on PT. Certainly better than my cauliflower ones. Hey Josh, Nothing but respect for your ears brother. And I get that it's very expressive, and very easy on the ol' CPU compared to sample libraries. Is it just me, or does anyone else listen to the demos and think "Yup, still sounds almost like a piano"?
