First, there are no presets in pianoteq that make the sound of the piano sound really good! I personally had to spend 300 hours to make presets out of the 4.5 version sound super great. The problem of mixing a commercial bound piano file with pianoteq or other sample based or a real piano is a very big and complex problem. The point is replacing a recorded piano, or maybe using it live for convinience since most of us don't carry 7 foot Steinways around. Comparing it with playing live on a real instrument is just silly, that's not what it's meant to do. I still haven't heard anything as convincing as Ivory 2 (if you want a sound of a close miked, huge grand piano that is) but I'm looking forward to trying Pianoteq 5 and see if they have bridged the gap completely this time. Cheers.While I would guess that most of the pianos you hear on the big screen today is Ivory and similar huge sampled libraries it's pretty obvious to me that at this rate, modelled pianos will replace the sampled ones in the near future. Someone else will love things like these. You are entitled to your opinion, but to say that professionals don't use virtual pianos is plain false. Go to the endorsement pages of Pianoteq and see what's there. I was listening on the radio, and it sounded real to me and probably just about everybody else. I was listening to American Parlor Songbook, and old fashioned music show on NPR, and I never would have dreamed that the honky-honk and tack piano sounds they get are from Ivory II Upright. If you go to any of the big virtual piano websites, you'll see a slew of superstar and semi-superstar endorsements. I'm not going to spend a lot of time on this, but a lot of famous musicians and producers use Pianoteq and sampled pianos in the studio, and some live - because they can get a particular sound, and because they can make changes to MIDI that they can't make to audio.
#Pianoteq 5 keyboard plus
Somewhat nice, somehow well made and somehow sounding like something else.īut in the end its just a little cheap mockup.ī - and C film composers, advertisement musicians plus anyone who loves to sound like The nature of 90% of todays music reflects the same issue like this piano modeling thing. The cheapest piano built into your DAW as well and use the real deal later.
Great tools to create quick mockups but then you can use Piano modules like this are made for convenience - not for excellence. Also the interplay between complex acoustic components of a piano are impossible to imitate. Or do you think the great hollywood composers use modeled piano sounds for their tunes as well.?Īs a piano player you are trained to create a huge palette of sounds and dynamic nuances out of one array of wood and steel, which is just impossible to imitate
With pianoteq ? no ? Because it´s simply a joke. Or a great jazz pianist list Keith Jarret playing a midi keyboard Have you ever watched a great classical pianist like Lang Lang I forget more easily that I'm playing a MIDI controller.Īnd the ability to tweak and the variety of presets, that puts Pianoteq at a completely different level. But Pianoteq also sounds real, definitely in the ballpark of Ivory II, but it also has a feel to it.
#Pianoteq 5 keyboard software
It is an amazing software that has layers and layers of hi-fidelity samples of each key. I originally bought Ivory II because Pete Townshend of the Who, among many others, gave a rave review of it. I can say that I am listening to Pianoteq 5 side by side with the Ivory II American Steinway D, a 45GB sample, and Pianoteq gets the edge. Nevertheless, I suggest you play Pianoteq 5 - not 4, 3, 2, or 1 - using a fine weighted 88-key controller, and run it through a quality audio card with good headphones. Then you're suggesting running the MIDI through the Roland JV-1080 which is also from the previous millennium. You're judging Pianoteq while using it with the K5000, a 1996 61-key MIDI keyboard that doesn't have weighted keys. Bravo!!!!We're on different planets, I guess.
#Pianoteq 5 keyboard full
Give full credit to Moddart for getting the dynamics /expressivity so close though. Will make you forget Pianoteq real quick. On other hand Yamaha Disclavier and other similar designs are superb. One of my solutions - Record piano part with Pianoteq + K5000, then run resultant MIDI thru Galaxy Steinway, Bardstown Bosendorfer, JV 1080 etc. Shaman is right - Yamaha upright with 2 SDC will smoke Pianoteq easily. Sound? Sorry, but it is very cold and very boring. Pianoteq + very good MIDI controller ( I use K5000) - most convincing dynamic range and touch sensitivity ever.
