![]() To the right of the interface, there are buttons to access the Action, Mallet Bounce, Equalizer, and Effects menus.Īt the bottom of the interface, there’s an age slider along with a visual keyboard and pedals - una corda, harmonic, sostenuto, and sustain. Below, there are settings for volume, dynamics (velocity sensitivity), and global instrument tuning. ![]() In most cases, you’ll want to use stereo, though the binaural setting is fun to try if you’re using a nice pair of headphones. Pianoteq 6 can be monitored in stereo, mono, or binaural. For example, the Kawai VPC1 ships with assignable preset velocity curves tailored to various piano VSTs. Before you use this feature, make sure your MIDI keyboard controller doesn’t have a preset curve for Pianoteq. In the middle of the interface, there is a velocity scaler with a calibration feature. To the left of the preset selector, there are icons for the preset management window, save function, parameter freeze function, undo/redo function, and A/B selectors. I currently have the “Steinway D Player Wide” FXP loaded. If you’ve used Pianoteq in the past, version 6 should look pretty familiar.Īt the top of the interface, there’s a dialog box to select a preset FXP. Thank you to MODARTT for making the upgrade process so affordable! The Interface After seeing it was only a €29 upgrade from Pianoteq 5 Stage to Pianoteq 6 Stage, I immediately bought it. I actually had no idea Pianoteq 6 was released until a friend told me about it two weeks ago. Pianoteq’s sonic quality was, for lack of a better term, plasticky. The only thing I hated about it was the sound. It was the only VST that felt like a real organic instrument. It was by far the most responsive piano VST I’ve ever tried, and I loved the experience of playing music with it. I had a love-hate relationship with Pianoteq 5. Pianoteq 6 ships with a number of other improvements including advanced microtuning tools, MIDI playback and archive support, improved MIDI mapping, and FLAC and MP3 audio export. Since Apple’s iPhones and iPads also use ARM-based chips, I wonder if there’s an iOS version of Pianoteq in the works… Other Improvements I’m looking forward to seeing some DIY piano modules. MODARTT also added ARM architecture, which means you can theoretically run Pianoteq 6 on a Raspberry Pi 3. Pianoteq 6 is now a VST3 compatible plugin. As a result, Pianoteq 6’s interface now displays a Steinway & Sons logo. I’m not sure if there was an actual collaboration to refine the modeling algorithm, but it’s a cool partnership in terms of branding. The Model D physical model in Pianoteq 6 is officially authorized by Steinway & Sons. Sonic realism and responsiveness has been refined on all of Pianoteq’s instruments - acoustic pianos, electric pianos, historical instruments, and chromatic percussion. An Improved Physical Modeling EngineĪfter three years of research, MODARTT has made a huge improvement on Pianoteq’s acoustic modeling engine. With it’s improved acoustic modeling engine, Pianoteq 6 has evolved into a virtual instrument that doesn’t feel or sound so virtual anymore. It offers stunning and unmatched playability and responsiveness. It is not for tweaking settings and parameters.Pianoteq 6 is MODARTT’s latest version of their modeled piano VST plugin. The simpler interface in Pianoteq Stage 6 is adapted for musicians who want the convenience of a selection of beautiful instruments for an immediate playing session. Pianoteq Stage supports all Pianoteq instruments, and if you upgrade to Pianoteq Standard or PRO, the instruments themselves upgrade automatically at no additional cost. With Pianoteq Stage, you are not locked to a certain product but have the option to upgrade whenever needed. Pianoteq Stage can at any time be upgraded to Pianoteq Standard or Pianoteq PRO to gain further sophisticated features, such as to tweak the physical model, to load Scala temperament files or to position virtual microphones around the instrument. ![]() It is based on the award winning physical model, offered in Pianoteq 6 Standard and PRO, praised by many musicians for its close intimacy and responsiveness. Pianoteq Stage 6 is a popular choice for the budget-minded musician. Compatibility: PC Windows x86, PC Windows 圆4 ![]()
