PTQ feels like real piano and it's easy to understand why so many classical oriented players appraise it.

Is it somehow sampled or modeled? Anyway there's lot of feeling of whole piano resonating when you play PTQ and not that much when you play Nord (which have pedal down samples and 'string resonance'). How does they implement the latter, is not known to me. Best sampled pianos have pedal down samples, pedal noises and even string resonance. On the other hand, if modeling has improved in basic tone quality, it's fair to say that also sampled solutions have improved in this interraction area.

Quite often lack of these features make sampled pianos sound 'sterile' or 'dead'.
