Can anyone help me solve this Addictive Keys studio grand distorted issue?

Hi. Addictive keys studio grand, studio grand preset with compressor and distortion turned off.
Ive recorded a solo piano album with this VsT (will use diff one next time but no turning back now)
played as single notes, keys between c6 and c7 sound pretty good. Played in context of a song, those same notes are occasionally distorting.

I have had two mixing engineers look at this. They hear it, too. Can’t make it stop

ive Tried eq, reversing L/R on mics, soloing mics, checking my audio chain for clipping ( there’s none). I’ve even tried exporting the offensive notes solo and mixing them in as a wav to give the AK sound engine a break.

Velicities are about 55-60. I’ve tried using diff velocity samples.

Im guessing this problem is pretty specific to AK? If you’ve dealt with this, do you have a fix?

I did just write to AK customer service.

Happy to provide audio samples to anyone one who wants to hear.

I know freqs can be Hearst around this area, but we’ve tamed them with eq but the crunch, distortion still there. Mild, but there

thx!
