#Pianoteq reviews pro#

Pianoteq 3.5 Pro goes for 399 Euros and offers 'per note' tweaking of many parameters, for the ultimate in virtual piano design. The example tracks below use some of pianoteqs many presets and do not have any additional processing with the exception of a limiter. Next, and as of the most recent round of updates, there are actually two different Pianoteqs available. In my opinion there are only a few sampler pianos that rival pianoteq, chief among them Spitfire's Hans Zimmer Piano, which is over 400 gigs in size compared to the miniscule 30 megs of Pianoteq. Although the sound may be a bit lacking in parts, the overall quality and complete control you get cannot be found in any other plugin. The wide variety of presets that are included provide a wide range of timbres that are suitable to various styles, and combined with the editable variable one is able to achieve aan incredible range of sound and tweak the details in an intuitive way.Īs pianoteq is effectively a synthesizer, it is an extremely light program compared to the many sample-based pianos available. Two virtual vibraphones, V-M and V-B, faithfully reproduce the characteristic sound of two. Some of the fascinating details that Pianoteq offers is the ability to change the hardness of the hammers, the virtual microphone placement, the inhamonicity of the strings, and the level of the noise in the attack and from the pedals. Pianoteq offers great vareity and control of the piano sound and many variables like microtonal tuning that are not widely available from other digital pianos. Pianoteq is a VST instrument that physically model pianos (and a few other instruments).
