German grand distortion on one A# key

I had it too. Not only "Bb4" but some few higher keys as well. But I noticed there is peak signal lid up on my audio interface when it happen (Only Right channel). And not appear when I listen by headphone directly from headphone jack even I turn the volume all the way up.

In other words, at least in your case your audio interface is clipping.

I think I do hear what you mean, but it isn't real distortion. What I hear is a noise produced by a part of the actual recorded piano resonating at that frequency. Those kind of noises are pretty common on piano's, especially when mechanical parts are a bit loose and able to resonate. Didn't notice it before though, I'll check out if I can reproduce it.

Could be the 'ol forot to check the transpose option' problem.

I'm at work and can't check this, but always remember to try a reboot if things start acting Wonky. I've had 2 occasions in the last year where that solved the "problem". Haven't had any since OS 1.5 AFAIK though.

yes i've heard it... it's all over the place

did you recorded it through DAW?? try to listen through headphones directly from kronos headphone output...

and other thing... did you press sustain pedal while playing it?? what velocity curve did you used??

i'll try it on kronos ASAP

sorry i cannot reproduce it in anyways (velocity curve 4, velocity bias and intensity +100 through my headphones and my monitor)
the problem is your DAW / interface i think... or the kronos master volume is being set too high while you're recording it... (clipping problem?)
