Quote:In the case of the harpsichords, anyone who has ever played a real harpsichord or is using it for a performance will want the releases just like in real life.
Ok, if that's really what you want!
Quote:overall the instruments seem a bit on the quiet side.
For the most part I've just left the samples at whatever volume they are. If the samples are quiet, that's what you get. But if you want I can try to standardize the volume of everything. Can you point to an instrument that you think is about the "right" volume? I'll then try to make everything roughly the same volume as that one (which is a subjective judgement, but it will at least put them all in the same ballpark).
Quote:The instruments in general have their top velocity layer mapped too low
The way I implemented layer assignment is to let you specify an exponent for the mapping curve. The default value is 0.7. For two layers, that puts the division at 78. For three layers it puts them at 59 and 96. I could change the exponent to push those up a bit if you like. For example, if I change it to 0.6 that will put the break at 84 for two layers, and at 66 and 100 for three layers. 0.5 would put the break at 90 for two layers, and at 73 and 104 for three layers.
If you activate crossfading, it uses the same breaks but as if there were one fewer layers. So with two layers, it crossfades across the entire range. With three layers it fades from the first to the second between 0 and 78, then from the second to the third between 78 and 127.
For the harpsichords that include a little of the note in the release samples, should I include rt_decay? Ideally we want the pitched part to get quieter the longer you hold the note, but the click to remain the same. But that isn't an option.
