Unacquainted pianists seeking an alternative to their bulky sample-based instrument should check it out, too.
Modartt pianoteq 5 key software#
If you're a long-time Pianoteq user, version 5 should put a smile on your face and serve to convince you that there's plenty of potential in the software still to be unlocked.

Any or all of the other instruments can be added later on, should you wish to buy them. The Acoustic Pianos flavour comes with D4 and K2 grands Electric Pianos has R1 and W1 Rhodes/Wurly emulations and a CL1 Clavinet and Chromatic Percussion comes with Vibes and Xylo packs.
Modartt pianoteq 5 key pro#
You can choose which of these 'flavours' you'd like when you buy any version (Stage, Standard or Pro - the latter reviewed here). That said, one of the beauties of Pianoteq is that it doesn't just do straight-up acoustic pianos: it can sound decidedly quirky if you want it to, and it also models electric piano and chromatic percussion. Still, it all adds to the sense of realism. This is impressive technology, certainly, though you'll inevitably need some knowledge of how pianos are miked up in reality to get the most out of it.
Modartt pianoteq 5 key upgrade#
Another 150 bucks for an upgrade to pro, expensive. Even after you download the 3,5 version, you can't play the other stuff, because some keys are disabled. What's more, as well as being able to position mics, you can now rotate them in three dimensions, attach them together and control the polarity and proximity effect. Modartt Pianoteq 5 I guess I shouldn't say it, but the 3. In fact, we now have an almost bewildering selection of options to choose from: 15 well-known mics are modelled, and you can choose from different polar patterns where applicable. You'll find it in the above link under percussive properties.Another area of the software that's felt the hand of the developers is the microphone section. Yesterday I was reading regarding the key bottoming noise and it's transmission to the soundboard in the info on Respons by Kaduk Pianos. Would be awesome if in the future you could increase the hammer noise and the "hammer noise resonance" independently. I generally like a bit more hammer noise than the default presets, but increasing it makes adjacent strings resonate a lot, specially in the high register that doesn't have dampers (and if you lower it, these notes sound extremely thin because there is barely any resonance). Would be really interesting if you could customize this sound.Īlso, it seems a bit weird to me how much the hammer noise affects the resonances of the strings.

ĭoes Pianoteq include this sound in its modelling? Its really hard to tell because (as far as I know) there is no mention of it anywhere on the interface and you can't really disable the hammer noise completely to properly differentiate it. I'm not really convinced you can control the tone of an acoustic piano independently of the dynamics, but I've come across an interesting source claiming that the sound a key makes when bottoming is an integral part of piano tone. I've been reading some articles about piano sound and how a different stroke of the keys could theoretically alter (or not) the sound produced, assuming the same velocity.
