Hello,

two questions 1) How can I have a key pressed down slowly without sound like on a real piano? Do I have to manipulate the velocity curve? Is there no „learn“ functionality like in other libraries and Pianoteq?

2) How do I get good, natural sounding sympathetic resonance? There is either none or strange sounding effects when I adjust the corresponding db values.

2) The algorithm that calculates the Sympathetic Resonance will hopefully be improved in the future. I agree it is not as good as it could be. 

Unfortunately I don't have a time-frame for this yet, but we have those requests on our list. 

Best,

Glad to hear there's a possibility of "silent key" in the future, Paul!  Since that's "just" a matter of allowing something like a velocity of 1 to be trapped and not create a sound, seems to me that it would not have as sophisticated coding requirements as would creating a better sympathetic resonance algorithm.

I realize that at the moment your programmers must be pretty busy getting Vienna Assistant into shape, though...
