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. Pianoteq 6 is MODARTT’s latest version of their modeled piano VST plugin.
