have tonal AND volume unevenness in some of their registers. ugh.. you all know what im talking about! right above middle C... the F# G and Gb notes are totally out of whack in volume to the rest of the whole piano outlay. they are too LOUD. youll notice it more in band situations where you think the piano is the right volume, then when you hit those 3 notes, booom, it blows your ear out. lol there are other problems too that i just dont feel like getting into right now.
If the F# G and Gb (or should that be G#) sound different to the rest, then that effect is waaay too subtle to detect, to my ears, at least. There might be a keybed fault. It might be worth checking the MIDI velocity values generated by each key, using something like MIDI-Ox.
Bear in mind these piano samples come with all the quirks of the instruments used. The Berlin Grand has a distinct beat note on the E key above middle C, which is absent using Una Corda. Perhaps Korg should have had a piano tuner on standby when the samples were recorded.
The Japanese Grand has quite prominent mechanical string vibration, or a too-hard hammer felt when playing middle C at medium to high velocity.
The Kronos Grand C2# key produces a distinct sound that shouldn't be there, and probably wasn't there on the original sample.
Even the Italian Grand has a couple of notes with a distinct beat to them, clearly audible in Black Forest's YouTube piece linked above.
