Can Pianoteq play back MIDI files in a convincing way?
PIANOTEQ’s superior dynamics and powerful simulation of resonances usually result in very convincing performances of MIDI files. However, (this concerns all virtual pianos) it depends on what keyboard and piano sound that was used during the MIDI recording. Some MIDI files can sound truly excellent with PIANOTEQ while others can sound strange if they were recorded under different circumstances. There is a similar situation with the old piano rolls which may have sounded excellent on the original piano but not very good on another. Adjusting the velocity curve might help in such situations.
