A naive dopey question about Piano velocities & sounds
Ok so I got Module because I liked how it sounded on Doug's video and because I missed using iGrand's & iLectric's sounds in Audiobus. I've been playing it for a few days and messing with the controls and I don't like the sounds, so I need advice from you experts: To me, iGrand Piano sounds like the Piano keys are pressed softer overall than Module's. I know iGrand has a default velocity that is turned down a little, but when I mess with Module's velocity I get either too hard or I barely hear it. It sounds like all of Module's instruments were recorded by playing the keys with a hammer instead of a softer stroke like iGrand, NeoSoul Keys, or iLectric. I've messed with the velocity on my Carbon 49 with similar all-or-nothing effects when using Module, and I never needed to adjust it when using the other apps I mentioned. So what do I need to do to make Module sound more like Rick Wakeman on a Steinway and less like Jerry Lee Lewis making his fingers bleed (no offense to Jerry!)?

Try adjusting the velocity curve (3rd button at the top) in Module itself, to make it harder to get the loudest velocities. Try the Heavy or Heavy2 settings then adjust the curve to taste from there.
@sonosaurus I did so, it sounded a little better, but even though it seemed less loud, it still sounded like it was recorded mezzo-forte and just played back at a lower volume. I guess I'm hoping for a more mezzo-piano dynamic in the samples. Module just sounds more harsh than does your Piano from your house (which is a great example of a smooth Piano sound.)
While I love the sounds in Module, I have not been happy with the velocity adjust mechanism in Module. The real issue is my keyboard (Novation Keylaunch 61) will not generate a velocity over about 105-107 no matter how hard I pound on it and the low end is just as bad. Need to find a better keyboard I guess.
The two lines you are given to adjust seem really inadequate to me to fix the velocity issues in most of the "inexpensive" keyboards out there today, especially with their fixed endpoints.
Still loving the Module sounds, may see if I can fix this in MidiBridge or similar.
@NoiseHorse As I understand it, you can drag the middle point in the Module velocity curve to the right to entirely limit the highest velocities. That way, you're in control of the piano tone. Then try using the Compressor effect and tone and volume controls to get the output level up again.
@BigDawgsByte You could try moving the Module velocity point right to the top so that your keyboard triggers the highest velocity. I'm not certain, but it might help.
Vecoto, that's a good idea I'll try it out.
