MODARTT Pianoteq Standard (Code)

Description

Pianoteq 6 Standard offers many tools to enhance and modify the sound. For example, you can set the "hardness" of the hammer or the length of the strings, place up to 5 virtual microphones around the instrument, and load external IRs for reverb. Of course, you can upgrade to the PRO version at any time. Pianoteq Standard is sold with three instrument packs of your choice. Pianoteq represents the starting point of a new generation of pianos, developed through mathematical research carried out at the MIP laboratories at INSA in Toulouse (France), which uniquely allow the piano to behave and sound like a real instrument. The first generation of pianos began in 1698 with Cristofori's piano, reaching its maturity at the end of the 19th century with concert grand pianos. This was followed in the 20th century by electro-acoustic pianos, and then digitally sampled pianos. The second generation brought innovative sounds (such as the Fender Rhodes, Wurlitzer, Yamaha CP, and others), while the third successfully reproduced recorded samples. Now, at the beginning of the 21st century, Pianoteq is the first fourth-generation piano based on true modeling, offering extraordinary playability and expressiveness. For the very first time, you can adapt the piano sound to your needs down to the smallest details. Exclusive parameters that model the behavior of real pianos allow for exceptional realism, previously only achieved by real acoustic pianos. Using internal 32-bit calculations, the piano sound is free from quantization noise. For each note played, a true dynamic timbre is available, from the subtlest pianissimo to the most exaggerated fortissimo, for all 127 MIDI velocities. Everything that characterizes a real piano is present: mechanical noise (optional), the complex sound of pedal-string interaction, the percussive impact of a staccato performance, and, of course, the most important thing, the beauty of the piano sound. Fully modeled, Pianoteq allows you to expand the parameters, obtaining new playing styles. Pianoteq is therefore both a way to emulate existing pianos and an innovative tool for musical creation. It is the first virtual piano factory: it can produce new sounds as well as copies of historical instruments or any other type of piano. The integrated piano and keyboard presets are just the first instruments in a collection that will grow in the immediate future.
