hi there
there's something odd going on with my synchron imperial, whenever i press the sustain pedal down, the pp-ppp range gets bypassed, the lowest velocities with the sus pedal down are so much louder then they should be, this limits what one can do with this incredible piano
please fix it (and yea i tried everything to fix it myself)

i obviously expect someone from the company to say something about this issue, maybe it's a fixable bug that can be addressed with an update or something
Hello mehrshad!
Notes played with pedal are always louder than notes without pedal - especially in the softest dynamics. The Bösendorfer Imperial has been recorded with the same impulses for notes with and without pedals. So there's nothing exaggerated there. I'm sorry to say that it is not possible to edit the dynamics of the pedal-down-samples separately.
Best regards,
Andi

hello there thanks for the reply
i was starting to think it's a bug and i was quite sad about it because the imperial is (IMO) your best piano to date
it's good to know that it's not a bug and it's true to the instrument ❤️

hello there it's me again
i was thinking about a solution for this issue,
maybe you can use ppp-pp samples of the pedal up section and putting them into the pedal down, i mean I was playing pedal down ppp with the f308 last night and it wasn't really that different to the sustain up samples down there, there's not enough resonances in lowest velocities so most people won't notice a thing.
it's very sad that the best synchron piano has such issue, please consider this, an update would be nice, i never had such digital experience with a piano vi, if you fix this issue it'll be an instant buy for me. please please please fix it🤍

Hi mehrshad. Have you tried playing with the velocity curve? This one worked well for me. Download "Imperial FV.velmap"
hi there javiad unfortunately the velocity curve can't solve such problem, you see? the lowest velocity (midi input 1) with the pedal down is louder then the pedal up version, and it's quite noticeable, i tried to ignore it but it's not possible because of the type of music that i'm working on (it has a lot of sustained ppp's that require the softest timbre of a piano, their other pianos have such qualities but i'm not very interested in their tone, i would have bought the imperial if it wasn't fot this little problem 😞 i hope they would fix it or at least don't repeat it with their future pianos
