Having been beta testing Modartt’s beautiful Pianoteq 8 on an iPad for a couple of months, I am pleased to announce Modartt are in the final stages of beta testing the iOS version which will be released soon. There’s no confirmed release date or pricing at the moment. Be prepared for this stunning instrument and what it has to offer.
More on the desktop version
Pianoteq is an award-winning virtual instrument which you can install on your computer (PC/Mac). It is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux, and will even run on some ARM-based boards such as the Raspberry Pi. It can be used both in standalone mode and as an instrument plug-in in VST, AAX, and AudioUnits hosts.
What makes Pianoteq superior to other virtual instruments is that the instruments are physically modelled and thus can simulate the playability and complex behaviour of real acoustic instruments. Because there are no samples, the file size is just a tiny fraction of that required by other virtual instruments, making Pianoteq perfect for any laptop.
Version 8 of Pianoteq brings numerous refinements in its engine and physical model, as well as newly developed Classical Guitar model.
Modartt have collaborated with the best piano manufacturers in the world, Steinway & Sons, Steingraeber, Bechstein, Blüthner, Grotrian and Petrof, who all have approved the sound and playability of their physically modelled concert grand pianos available in Pianoteq. This rich and diverse collection of virtual grand pianos will appeal to all musicians in search of the most famous piano sound signatures.
Taking advantage of the model and its parameters, a morphing feature let you merge several model to create unheard organic instruments.
