    Espacially for the Piano Libarys for example Alicia's Keys or Gentleman. Do we have a function to move the Release Knob or am I blind.

    Question: do real piano's come with an ADSR envelope? If not then why would this be included on an instrument that tries to fully simulate a real piano? :D

    Having said that...

    I assume you did find the settings section already? Just in case I marked it for you here, that does give you access to some control over the sound but, as mentioned above, only within the context of a real piano. So my suggestion would be to check the keys section which I've shown here, and the Pedal tab which allows you to set up some more sustain through use of the virtual pedal.

    If you need more control then I think you're using the wrong instruments. Go for an electric piano for example.

    it does nothing if I change the knobs in alicias keys. I mean like in Hybrid Keys...the effect so that the tone of a single note or chord you can hear the release....in hybrid keys everythink works fine

    You can't really have it with unlooped piano samples that capture the natural decay of piano notes.

    "schade" as we say in Germany. I am disappointed that this is not possible. But thanks for the answer. Greetings

    It's just basic math. You could make the decay shorter, but not any longer than what was recorded.

    For I don´t have a pedal to control the release/sustain. Therefor I don´t have the possibility other then afterwarts to dial in the sustain in my DAW.

    You can always generate CC #64 events in the piano roll of your DAW...
