I've had my CP4 for about two weeks, and really like it.
But there's a 'dead note' on the CFX sample. The D next to the C two octaves above middle C sounds like it was sampled with a finger lightly touching the string. If you play it in between the C and E, the difference is noticeable. If you play the C at medium velocity until it decays, then do the same for the D, the D sounds as if it decays twice as fast. Using the plus or minus versions of the sample seems to move the problem up or down a half-step.
I should mention that I'm not all that picky, and didn't go through the piano looking for defects--that note just instantly bugged me when I played. I checked it on headphones and it's still there.
My question: do all CP4s do this? Is there a way to smooth this out with the tools available?

One idea I had last night, that I'll try today--use the minus sample from the D on up. That'll move the 'bad' note to C#, where it's below the split point. I'm not very good at this stuff but I'll tell you if it works I I can get it.

I can check my CP4 next week; don't have it now.
Here's info on creating a split piano ...

Thanks for that. My smart friend came over and helped me with this. He set the MAIN PART to CFXmn (minus) which seems to move the crummy note to C# just below. I then set the SPLIT PART to CFXmn, with the highest note being C# (which sounds good in this patch). The icky note is gone! The minus patch, which I don't like across the keyboard, doesn't bother me on the upper keys. My friend said there's probably a way to use the ZONE function to reassign just the one note, which would be even better. I'm quite thrilled, because other than the one note, I love the piano sound and feel on this board.
