When the graph is in the default position a straight line whatever velocity parameter the keyboard generates is passed directly to the PLAY engine unchanged When the graph is pulled downward like the picture on the left mid range velocities are reduced result ing in the sound of the piano being played softer At the same time the bottom half of the range of velocities is compressed so that a fixed change in how hard the keys are hit causes a more subtle difference in the output at the lower velocities and an exagger ated difference at the higher velocities When the graph is pulled upward the opposite occurs mid range velocities get louder the bottom half of the range yields more exag gerated differences and the top half more subtle differences When Play is used as a plug in in a sequencer you can use the Sensitivity Control to af fect the sound of a performance captured in MIDI data For example if a piano is stand ing out too much during mix down pull down on the sensitivity curve not only to make the playing softer but also to create subtlety by using more of the soft velocity layers in the instrument Because changing velocity affects not only the loudness of the audio output but also the timbre of the notes adjusting the sensitivity often achieves a more realistic soft or loud playing style that merely turning down or up the volume on the track Articulations Control The list of articulations in Quantum Leap Piano

Phoenix play piano in a very improvisational romantic style I m one of those players that sounds decent playing on a real piano but my playing really suffers on a digital piano used to attribute this to the quality of weighted controllers but now I believe it has more to do with the lack of dynamics and the close mic ed e plunky synthetic sound quality of many piano samples Producer Doug Rogers and had discussed the possibility of sam pling pianos after purchased a B sendorfer 290 as neither of us were satisfied with the currently available products It wasn t until he purchased EastWest Studios though that everything came into focus We knew from the outset that to capture what we had in mind would be a giant project typical of our other productions and the only way to do it properly was to keep the project in house using the best pianos Between us we had the pianos all hand picked from a showroom full of similar models the right equipment the perfect recording environment and a fresh perspective All four of these piano models have been sampled before some of them dozens of times however none of these efforts sound anything like what we have done in EastWest Quan tum Leap Pianos The downside to this level of detail is that the collection is 270 gi gabytes for all four pianos making this the largest EastWest Quantum Leap project to date involving 18 months of development Fortunately the software allows you to
