When I play my MIDI keyboard into Virtual Instruments, for example Pianoteq (v7.5.4), set to any piano type (default settings of Volume = 0dB; Dynamics = 40dB), the volume is just not high enough.
My setup:
• MIDI controller: Roland A-88 MKII
• DAC: Topping D90 (set to 44.1 kHz; 512 samples; safe mode enabled; output 32 bits; volume 0dB which is maximum)
• Pianoteq Sample Rate: 44,100 Hz ; Maximum Polyphony: 256. Velocity curve: default. Diapason: 440Hz
• Using Topping D90 as ASIO device
Also note, my MIDI controller is posting high velocities without issue, so the MIDI velocities are not an issue.
My reference for loudness is music through iTunes for example, which is very loud at the same volume setting on my Preamp that Pianoteq is much too quiet.
I'm on Windows 10.
The issue seems to not be anything to do with the MIDI controller, but with the way the virtual instruments work with my Topping D90. I have tried other virtual instruments than Pianoteq and the same issue is apparent.
Any ideas on how to solve this?
