Pianoteq 6

Unlike sample-based products that record acoustic instruments at varying velocity levels for playback, Modartt's Pianoteq creates tones by way of mathematically modeling the active relationship between hammers striking strings, that are coupled to a resonant soundboard. ACOUSTIC AND ELECTRIC OFFERINGS As someone who has gigged for the past decade with, generally, hardware-based digital pianos (typically offering only a handful of presets), Pianoteq 6 is a veritable cornucopia of pianistic possibilities - from Steinway B and D grands (approved by the instrument manufacturer, itself) to more esoteric models by Grotrian, Steingraeber and others. From voicing possibilities like hammer noise/ hardness, strike point and soft pedal adjustments to deeper design options such as changing string lengths, sympathetic resonance and the depth of the piano's duplex scale imprint. The standalone version offers FLAC and MP3 file export, improved MIDI mapping, and a MIDI playlist and archive that automatically records everything played on a MIDI keyboard for archiving.
