NL A1 As Midi keyboard playing piano sound

Post by taira »

If this post is duplicate, I apologise.
Regarding the A1 play as midi keiboard, Please share the knoredge if some one know.

Q1
When I use the A1 as a MIDI keyboard to play a piano sound source via Mac ( https://www.modartt.com/pianoteq_overview ) (3-note backing with the left hand, 4-note arpeggio with the right hand at BPM 140), there are moments when no sound is produced even when I press the keys.
This does not happen with other synthesizers, but only with the A1.
Is this caused by the number of polyphony of the A1?
Q2
I would like the piano sound to decay naturally in the environment of Q1 above, but with the A1, the piano sound hardly decays while the keys are being pressed, and only starts to decay when the foot is removed from the sustain pedal.
Please tell me how to set a smooth decay when playing an external piano sound source using the A1 as a MIDI keyboard.

Q1: no, the A1 Internal polyphony has nothing to do with MIDI Notes sent out, check the polyphony settings in Pianoteq

Q2: again, depends on Pianoteq, of course if you keep Sustain pedal pressed notes will sustain: use Sustain pedal properly i.e. limit its usage (this also helps to not consume polyphony)
