What you express on your keyboard will also be what you actually hear. The sound of even the weakest pianissimo is absolutely pure without any audible quantization noise. Convenient Conveniently for the travelling musician, Pianoteq runs well on a modern laptop.
Pianoteq loads quickly because of the extremely small size less than 50 MB. More instruments can be purchased separately, at any time. You need a licence of Pianoteq Stage, Standard or Pro to use them. Steinway D is featured in many recording studios and concert halls worldwide.
The instrument that served as reference is a Steinway B from Hamburg that belongs to the Martha Argerich Edition, a set of 25 grand pianos selected and signed in by the prestigious pianist for their musicality. Subtle refinements of the physical model were made, resulting in a noticeably clear tone and astounding dynamics. Petrof and Petrof Mistral are the two Petrof masterpieces, bringing the authority required for concert halls.
Authorized by Petrof, the physically modelled pianos capture the characteristic Petrof sound with a range of presets offering a beautiful palette of timbres suitable for all kinds of music. This physical model of C. Bechstein Digital Grand is originally derived from a C. Bechstein D concert grand piano, captured by the acclaimed Teldex Recording studio in Berlin.
Authorized by Bechstein, the Pianoteq model reproduces the outstandingly brilliant and powerful sound of the C. Bechstein D with its singing, richly coloured voice, suitable for many different music genres.
Steingraeber E Concert Grand Piano is praised by many pianists as being one of the most distinctive and outstanding instruments on the market today. This physically modelled virtual instrument for Pianoteq 6 captures the characteristic Steingraeber sound with a range of presets offering different colours suitable for various types of music.
The Concert Royal grand piano by Grotrian is rightly considered to be one of the best grand pianos in the world. Its tone, playing mechanism and construction meet the very highest standards in terms of quality, refinement and perfection — strengths which can be heard and felt all the way back to the last row in large halls and concert houses. One of our most popular grand piano models.
The K2 grand piano was created for Pianoteq 5. Thanks to its 2. Enjoy its dark, woody character in a musical allround environment. The U4 upright piano emphasizes the characteristics of upright pianos, offering 21 exciting presets. The Karsten Collection includes five historical instruments built between and , provided by instrument collector Peter Karsten, Braunschweig, Germany.
The Kremsegg museum collection 1 includes 4 historical pianos from the 18th and 19th centuries: Dohnal , Besendorfer , Erard , Streicher. Incomparable for rendering the music of the 19th century composers, but also for playing other music styles like Jazz. The Kremsegg museum collection 2 includes 4 historical pianos from the 18th and 19th centuries: Broadwood , Pleyel , Frenzel , Bechstein.
Hans Ruckers II harpsichord for Pianoteq is a superb virtual instrument with authentic sound and response, and it is a joy to play. It is equipped with the three registers - lower 8', upper 8', and 4' - which can be combined in ways not even possible in the real world.
The Concert Harp is physical modelled after a Salvi concert harp, used by many baroque and classical composers in the 18th and 19th century. The Celtic Harp is frequently heard in folk music as well as in earlier classical music and contemporary new-age.
Both harps include foot-controlled pedals to change the pitches of the strings. They also add the ability to play harmonics flageolets and glissandos. You surely already know these famous electro-acoustic pianos from the seventies. Each instrument comes with several variants and you can customize them to your own taste.
Manufactured by Hohner from the early sixties until the early eighties, they appeared in many hit records of that period. Hohner GmbH. Two virtual vibraphones, V-M and V-B , reproduce faithfully the characteristic sound of two well-known vibraphone brands. The V-B is a virtual copy of a Bergerault vibraphone France. By striking metal plates, the sounds have a bell-like quality that have fascinated composers throughout history and still today.
The Toy Piano and Glockenspiel models have slightly extended octave ranges. The Kalimba, also known as Mbira, is a small handheld instrument, originally from Africa.
Xylophone and Bass Marimba are similar to the vibraphone but are using wooden bars instead of aluminium. Each bar, that vibrates when hit with mallets, is paired with a metallic resonator which is tuned to amplify the sound. Each instrument is provided with one preset faithful to the original instrument modelled and several variants. In addition to the instruments above, Modartt offers to Pianoteq users a rich set of free instruments, including piano predecessors such as cimbalom, harpsichord and clavichord, an electro-acoustic piano CP, bells, tubular bells, etc.
The result is what we call the fourth piano generation. Pianoteq is the very first piano that belongs to this generation. The first generation of pianos began with Cristofori's pianoforte in which came to maturity at the end of the 19th century with the acoustic grand pianos. It was followed in the 20th century by the second generation electro-acoustic pianos and the third generation sampled pianos where each note is a recording of how it sounded during a specific moment in time, not taking into account the complexity of the instrument.
Pianoteq is the first piano belonging to the fourth generation, developed in order to go beyond the limitations of the third generation and to become a versatile and innovating tool. It is in fact the first virtual piano factory — it can produce new brands as well as copies of historical instruments. Professor Gabriel Weinreich, renowned figure in the world of musical acoustics, says: " I demonstrated the first "Piano from first principles" at a conference in Austria in Never in a million years would I have dreamed at that time that, in my lifetime, this art would have reached the state of development embodied in your Pianoteq program.
I congratulate you and all your collaborators on this most marvelous development. This short tutorial explains step by step the nature of the piano sound and illustrates how physical modelling can recreate such a sound. Sound is produced by air displacement pressure variation and can be represented as a sum of sine waves with various length and amplitude called partials. Let's start with just one partial, using a given frequency f. Such a sound is considered "pure" and can be written as follows:.
Listen to the sound:. The previous sound has poor sonority. Let us add more harmonics using frequencies 2f , 3f , and so on Here is the result: Does it sound like a piano?
In an acoustic piano, each string is bound to a soundboard through a bridge. The soundboard, made of wood, is a transducer between the string and the air which brings the sound to our ears.
In other words, the string energy is transmitted to the air via the soundboard. This way, the string loses its energy and the sound amplitude decreases. But what will be the decay rate? C3 of a piano spectral view depending on time, from 0 to 7 seconds :. Harmonics horizontal orange lines start simultaneously but the higher the frequency the shorter the harmonic. By the way, we can observe in this figure the beatings produced by a slight detuning between the 3 strings of the unison.
We will explain this shortly. The strength of each harmonic for each note is determined by the interaction between the hammer and the string, and especially by the strike point. In this figure, each vertical stroke matches an harmonic, and the height defines its strength.
Listen to the sound modelled: without interaction - with interaction. With the exception of the low range, each note of a piano has 3 strings, struck simultaneously by the hammer. The fact that there are several strings makes the attack stronger, and it also increases the sound duration.
Listen to the sound modelled with: one string per note - three strings per note. No two strings can be exactly in tune. So setting several strings together will create close frequencies. Gradually, two close frequencies will fall alternatively in phase - the sound reaches its maximum amplitude - and in opposite phase - the sound cancels -, that is the beating:. Two close frequencies Hz and Hz heard: separately - together. The inharmonicity coefficient B depends on the note and the instrument.
As a result, the sound is no longer periodic, and the beatings rate between partials is modified, which is taken into account by the piano tuner. The sound perceived by the listener has travelled through the air, from the soundboard to his ears. Listen to the sound: before - after the propagation is modelled. Finally, any place provides its own reverberation. Using some reverberation is especially important when listening with headphones. Listen to the difference: without reverb - with reverb.
For a deeper insight into physical modelling, we recommend for example the PhD of J. Schubert - Impromptus D, No. The very best sampled pianos of today are the result of many hours of careful recordings associated with complex solutions designed to provide a valuable piano sound.
We respect the work of these high class competitors who manage to develop sampled based pianos of this quality. However, as is well-known, sampling technology itself has inherent disadvantages. To give you an understanding of the reasons why we chose to develop Pianoteq we find it necessary to describe the shortcomings of using samples to create a digital piano:.
Despite many recent attempts to enhance the sampled piano sound by adding convolution reverb and other post processing effects, the technology as such has too many limitations when it comes to achieving a truly vivid and convincing piano sound.
Pianoteq offers many unique qualities and features that make it superior to other virtual pianos:. The many adjustable parameters make it possible to not only adapt the existing piano model but also to create new piano sounds. This is one of the advantages of a truly modelled piano — it opens up new possibilities for the creative musician.
Pianoteq lets you improve the tuning in ways that are usually available only to piano tuners. Example: diapason Hz , different kinds of temperaments from equal to well tempered , microtuning, unison tuning for changing the timbre or colour of the sound , octave stretching and direct sound duration.
Screenshot of the Pianoteq upper panel. Another task for a professional piano tuner is to "shape" the piano sound according to the pianist's taste. By adjusting hammer hardness it is possible to adapt the piano sound from mellow to bright in great detail.
There is not just one adjustment, mellow to bright, but a very detailed slider for each major velocity: pianissimo, mezzoforte and fortissimo. The next feature is something that not even a piano tuner can do — changing the soundboard impedance. You will get a total control of overtones. This makes it even possible to change the size of the piano, from A size to D size, even up to a 10 meter 33 feet grand! The Pianoteq Steinway D and K2 virtual grand pianos offer an extended keyboard range of keys.
This range makes it the largest ever available in a piano. Grand pianos that offer an expanded keyboard range are rare and extremely expensive. MODARTT takes up the challenge by providing an unprecedented extra-large key range for its Steinway D and K2 virtual grand pianos, with no less than keys 17 keys more than the standard keyboard range , ranging from ultra-low rumbling bass to very high bird-like pitches.
The keyboard range expansion was developed to correspond to an increasing demand from Pianoteq users for additional notes. The extended sound palette, obtained thanks to the powerful Pianoteq physical modelling, can be used e. If playing gentle octave chords, the extended bass notes will add a rumbling sound that will strengthen the effect. Below is an example of where the pianist makes use of the extended keyboard range. In this particular arrangement suitable for 4 hands , Pianoteq demonstrates its capacity where most other pianos will fail.
Based on transcriptions of Paganini's last movement of his second Violin Concerto, Pianoteq's extended keyboard range brings out the complete tonal colour palette.
The highest D , which constitutes Paganini's original 'La Campanella' The Bell , exists in an octave higher than every other commercial piano library in the world. Many rumbling ultra-low octave notes are also prominently featured. When this bug occurs, a workaround is to move the mouse cursor over the bottom of Pianoteq interface.

Bach - Prelude in C maj. Hopkins Jr. Rausch - Danseuse fxp Marimba t Fine details of sound Vivid The piano creates the sound in real time while you are playing and takes into account all the complex factors that makes the piano a truly vivid instrument, such as the interaction between strings, the use of pedals, the cabinet resonance and the position of the hammers.
We present here various and unique features that illustrate the great flexibility but also the beautiful sounds offered by physical modeling. Sympathetic resonance When undamped strings respond to other string vibrations, it results in sympathetic resonance, here slightly exaggerated and revealing a silently depressed chord C2-E2-G2-Bb2. Sustain pedal resonance Listen to how the sympathetic resonance of all strings brings vividness to the piano sound.
Here the sustain pedal is depressed during the whole sequence. Duplex scale resonance In an acoustic piano there are undamped string parts, called duplex scales, which come into resonance. In this example exaggerated staccatos are revealing these duplex scales.
Sound variation in repetition Repeated notes show a variation in sound as the hammer strikes the strings differently when they are in motion. Pianoteq reproduces this effect demonstrated here. Buzzing in the bass Strong strokes on the copper-wounded bass strings produce an irregular buzzing sound. When pressing down the sustain pedal of an acoustic piano, the dampers are lifted, resulting in a sympathetic resonance of all the strings.
If the sustain pedal is depressed a very short time after, which is called pedal catch or repedalling if done several times , then the strings are still vibrating a little.
Partial pedal If you depress the sustain pedal only partially on an acoustic piano, the dampers will stay partially in contact with the strings. The vibrations are then partially damped. This is called partial pedalling also known as half pedalling. Digital pianos which are equipped with a progressive continuous sustain pedal, can achieve the same effect with Pianoteq. Unison detuning large The unison width adjusts the frequency variation within each unison, changing sound character.
Greatly increased, it produces the honky tonk sound 'U4 Honky Tonk' preset. Unison detuning small With a smaller detuning, you can hear some slow beatings between the strings. Increasing here the unison width progressively to 1, 2, 3. Temperament The temperament has not always been equal. Voicing Important changes can be made to the sound by changing the hammer hardness.
This example demonstrates soft, medium and hard hammers. Overtones Changing the weight of each overtone can produce some dramatic changes as illustrated by this example. Hammer noise The hammer noise can be adjusted separately, softer and then stronger in this example.
Una Corda soft pedal Comparison without vs. Soundboard impedance The soundboard impedance is related to its dimension thickness, width as well as to the quality of the wood elasticity, weight. It has a great influence on the sound duration. Here default impedance followed by higher impedance. String length The inharmonicity of a string varies with its length and also with its diameter, tension and material. We listen to a virtual piano of size 1. Strike point In instruments like cimbalom, vibraphone, xylophone, etc.
We illustrate here how Pianoteq allows this control taking as example the cimbalom, ancestor of the piano. First 'normal' position, then one third of the string length. Mallet bounce The mallet bounce effect can be used with the cimbalom as illustrated here, as well as with any other Pianoteq instrument.
Pickup symmetry In an electro-acoustic piano, the pickup is not exactly in front of the tone source at rest. When it is exactly in front, due to the symmetry of the device, the note jumps one octave higher.
Here we listen to normal position, then almost symmetric position slider at 0. Pickup distance When the pickup is moved closer to the tone source, the sound becomes more distorted and the timbre variation between soft and loud sounds increases. We listen to a normal and then to a closer position. Clavinet pickups The clavinet contains two sets of pickups, positioned above and below the strings. Wah-wah Wah-wah is a very spectacular effect, auto-wah used here with the clavinet.
Tremolo The tremolo is commonly used on vibraphones and electric pianos. Demonstrated here with the Vintage Tines.
Chorus and flanger Various presets of chorus and flanger are illustrated in this short piece. Switching from one preset to another produces sometimes some interesting sounds too. Combo amp A combo amp is included in the effects section. An overdriven amp is demonstrated here. Pitch bend The sound can be altered using pitch control, creating variable glissandos in real time. Convolution reverb Pianoteq is equipped with a convolution reverb.
Effect demonstration Here is a demonstration of how powerful and flexible Pianoteq can be in the hands of a sound designer. Created exclusively with a heavily edited Pianoteq Concert Harp in Pianoteq Pro, using mainly Pianoteq's built-in effects. For further details, read the Pianoteq manual.

This pedal is usually found in upright pianos, Rattle pedal , also called bassoon pedal, which equipped certain historical pianos, as for example the Besendorfer from the Kremsegg collection. A piece of parchment comes into contact with the strings to create a buzzing noise resembling the sound of the bassoon, Buff Stop pedal , where a wooden bar covered with felt is pressed against the strings, shortening the duration ofthe sound.
It can be found in some historical pianos, Glissando pedal , to be used in particular for rendering glissandos in the Harp instruments, Mozart rail , introduced by Steingraeber in its concert grand piano E, which allows playing delicate notes by moving the hammers closer to the strings.
