![]() 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. 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! Other instruments include models for the Hohner Pianet models N and T and Clavinet D6, as well as models for harpsichord, concert harp and Celtic harp, various tine and reed electric pianos, vibraphones, celeste, xylophone and marimba, and various steelpans.I know many of you like me, are constantly looking for the best sounding plugins and instruments. Pianoteq models several modern as well as historical pianos, including the Steinway model B and model D, the Antonin Petrof 275 and 284, Bechstein DG, Steingraeber E-272, Grotrian Concert Royal, and Blüthner Model 1. ![]() Several of the historical instruments were created as part of the KIViR (Keyboard Instruments Virtual Restoration) project, which aims to create playable digital models of historical keyboard instruments in museums like the Händel-Haus in Halle. Patches for additional instruments are also available. Pianoteq's modeled sounds are supplemented with sampled pedal noise, key release, and hammer noise. The software's physically modeled synthesis create sound from scratch using several megabytes of mathematical algorithms (Fourier construction) to generate electric piano and acoustic piano sounds that can be manipulated analogously to those produced by their material counterparts. The original version of the program was released in August 2006. ![]() ![]() It is usable as a stand-alone program for Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux (including ARM architecture) platforms, or as a plug in for VSTi hosts and two VSTi counterpart for use with digital audio workstations. Pianoteq is a software synthesizer that features real-time MIDI-control of digital physically modeled pianos and related instruments, including electric piano, harp, harpsichord, fortepiano, and various metallophones. ![]()
