Short latency without additional workIn principle, I agree with you on all those points. However, I recently bought Ivory II Studio Grands, and they fare like this:1.

A ton of settings6. Short latency without additional workPretty much the same as Pianoteq, and the Studio Grands sound far better. I wish Modarrt could fix the aspects of the sound that irritate (for me there is a kind of "voice less" burst of air right before every sound begins ... I know, difficult to convey meaningfully in words, but that's about the best I can do with this experience).I expect Pianoteq to be really good at some point in the future. My gut tells me that future is more than 10 years away.Physical instruments: Roland FP-30, and E-28Virtual instruments: "The Experience" piano collection, NI "The Maverick", Galaxy II Grand piano collection, Synthogy Ivory II Studio Grands, Production Voices Estate Grand, Garritan CFX

Re: Pianoteq not playing piano sound fore wrote:when I played my dp, the keys would go up and down in the the programs interface, but no sound going thru the laptop.That should be fairly simple to correct.Click on the Options button in upper right side of interface.You should see AUDIO DEVICE TYPE: with a selection menu.Click on it and select WINDOWS AUDIO.That should send the output through your computer speakers. 5 Reply by fore 02-02-2014 17:30 fore Member Offline Registered: 02-02-2014 Posts: 7 Re: Pianoteq not playing piano sound I'm using a macbook pro, and I have 'built in output' under Output, and 'output 1 and output 2' selected in Active Output Channel. 6 Reply by custral 02-02-2014 17:31 custral Member Offline Registered: 22-08-2010 Posts: 288 Re: Pianoteq not playing piano sound Sometimes, it needs that I quit the ASIO4ALL control panel before right function occurs.

I've tried every configuration with no luck. And so strange, it worked perfectly with the exact same hookup and settings. Missed it today while practicing If anyone has an idea, feel free...Edit: Another forum made a suggestion, turning down the vol on my 105. Worked! I had no idea the vol was supposed to be turned down at all. I feel pretty dumb Anyway, the quirky thing is there's a ping sound with every key played. I have no special effects turned on.

I unplugged the dp so I could use my laptop elsewhere. When I connected it all up again last night, when I played my dp, the keys would go up and down in the the programs interface, but no sound going thru the laptop. The dp cont. to play using the built in speakers.I was going to buy this program, but not if it's inconsistent play.I'd really appreciate any help!fore 2 Reply by custral 02-02-2014 16:52 custral Member Offline Registered: 22-08-2010 Posts: 288 Re: Pianoteq not playing piano sound I know your symptom, and can tell what seems to fix it for me -no doubt there are diffs between our systems, so let's start with a sketch of mine. I listen thru low-impedance headphones needing an amp, and within the amp is an external sound card, call it EXTcard. When I have your symptom (almost always after calling up Pianoteq) I get up Options>Devices. Audio device type: is ASIO, Device: is ASIO4ALL v2, Active output channels: is EXTcard 1 & 2 (both greyed out and neither is checked). Clicking Test does nothing. Clicking Show this device's control panel gets THAT up. Bottom of the WDM Device List is EXTcard, unselected. Selecting it turns it blue, withdrawing the cursor then returning it to touch the selection fetches up a tooltip message like "Device unavailable. In use by another application?"What changes this message for me, virtually without fail, is to power down the headphone amp then switch it on again. Observation shows this powers off EXTcard too (natch, but nice to eyeball it, because it opens up the idea that on repowering it asks the system where it sits inside it; something must account for the change it brings).For now, on touching the blue selection the message is "Status active" or "Status available" according as MIDI is happening or not. Plus now, no greyouts, all that should be checked is, Test works, and Pianoteq is aloud.Hope that's a help. BTW, the ASIO4ALL is v2.11 Beta1. 3 Reply by fore 02-02-2014 17:05 fore Member Offline Registered: 02-02-2014 Posts: 7 Re: Pianoteq not playing piano sound Thanks custral. Actually, when I hit 'test', it works just fine. I hear the test thru my HD650s. Heck, I can also hit keys in the interface, and I hear that thru the phones. It's only the darn piano that won't work. 4 Reply by ddascher 02-02-2014 17:18 ddascher Member Offline Registered: 31-08-2012 Posts: 146

Simeon describe this in his youtube video. He uses a Cello in Kontakt and let Pianoteq control the sympathic resonance.I’ve been playing around with this feature and it’s actually really cool. A lot sampled pianos don’t have very good sympathetic resonance generators built in, so it’s great to be able to use Pianoteq for this purpose. IMO, this is the best thing about version 8, and worth the $29 if you’re upgrading from an older version.But because it feels more "alive" when you play it, it also sounds better when you're playing it.At the risk of inflaming the holy wars again, I’m going to call BS on this. I’ve heard a lot of claims over the years that while Pianoteq may not be the most realistic in terms of recreating the actual tone of a grand piano, it makes up for it by having some kind
