Disklavier

Good morning, everyone.


Keep in mind that typical piano samples do not respond to incremental  
pedal data. I contacted Synthogy about this a while back and received  
this response:

"We do not support continuous sustain pedal in Ivory version 1.  It is
possible that we may support half pedaling features in a future  
version."

The piano sample in a Disklavier, Clavinova, and certain other  
keyboards will respond to incremental pedal data. I am not sure if  
there is any computer-based piano sample that does--I have not  
researched this point thoroughly. In the absence of response to  
incremental pedalling, you need to be careful about how you pedal  
when you make your recording: be sure that you swiftly move the pedal  
from fully up to fully down to fully up as you play.

Regards,
PianoBench
