It’s very easy to use and also very versatile. I don’t want that, I want to pull up the instrument and play, like a real instrument, let the way I interact with it determine what sound I get. Many complex sample libraries involve a lot of key-switching and such that the player needs to do in order to get the best results.

It is in fact the first virtual piano factory - it can produce new brands as well as copies of historical instruments.”įirst off for me, I need something that I can get to using quickly. “Pianoteq is the first piano belonging to the fourth generation, developed in order to go beyond the limitations of the third generation and to become a versatile and innovating tool. Second generation: electro-acoustic piano (1929) Pianoteq is referred to as the “fourth generation” of piano. Piano is a complex instrument, and even though there are some awesome sampled pianos, with various levels of velocity, key noises, and such, it’s still a sample at the end of the day. And all the parts are active at once, hammers, strings, duplex scale, pedals, cabinet, all of it. It, like a real piano, reacts to you and how you play. Man, basically it’s a technology that models all the parts of the piano and uses some pretty much sci-fi calculations to generate the sound in real time. Well….you can 🙂 I guess dreams to come true!Įnter Pianoteq! They sent over this physically modeled piano instrument for review, let’s check it out. What if you could have an instrument that “creates” sound the exact same way a real piano does? No samples, just hammers hitting strings and all interacting with the body of the piano creating that classic sound we all love.
#Pianoteq reviews plus
True, they all have their plus and minuses, but a sample is still a sample. I’ve seen it all, from the hardware workstations, to dedicated digital pianos, and even the most recent trend of HUGE multi gigabyte sample based pianos. Short of pulling a huge piano into your bedroom, studio, or office, finding that dope piano sounds is a quest!

I know many of you like me, are constantly looking for the best sounding plugins and instruments.
