When building these two instruments, we took our inspiration from the very best acoustic pianos in the world. Thus any musician or producer should find the piano he needs. Different perspectives are provided with each instrument: player, recording (4 mics in the C3 solo recording), close mic, binaural… These are only a few among the infinitely many perspectives that you can create yourself by choosing your own recording settings: mics placement and mixing. In the end, this is of course a matter of taste and the choice will depend on the selected music. The Grand M3 has an attack and presence that will suit jazz and rock music. The Grand C3 has a warm and coloured sound, suitable for classical, romantic or lyrical music. Pianoteq interface Thanks to our research, we build two beautiful new instruments that each has its own personality. The head can be rotated in any direction and even its size can be changed. In binaural mode, for headphone usage, a head model is used for simulating the sound heard by a person located where the head is placed in the interface. The resulting experience is simply an amazing audio immersion!
Unlimited sound perspectives PIANOTEQ offers thus full control of the sound source and unlimited possibilities to choose the “colour” of the piano sound, similar to what professional audio engineer do when recording. A mixer is available for combining the mics into 5 output channels, with the possibility to adjust separately level and delay. The new acoustic model allows you to place up to 5 microphones anywhere around the piano in an additional illustrative interface. Developed in close cooperation with demanding musicians, it brings stunning realism, clarity and brilliance. One of the most exciting new features in version 3 is the new acoustic model which simulates the sound radiation of the soundboard and the cabinet.
The powerful innovative features of Pianoteq make it the natural choice for demanding musicians including composers, producers and keyboardists.
Pianoteq is a virtual piano software offering superb dynamics, natural resonances and unique physical parameters. Pianoteq 4 includes an equalizer, key velocity connectors, volume, dynamic sounds that control the volume from pianissimo to fortissimo.Top Software Keywords Show more Show less This program also lets you choose the position of the microphone and a mixture of the multiple channels (more than 5 microphones and 5 channels). Pianoteq 4 also includes 4 pedals: middle pedal, sostenunto pedal, harmonic pedal and una corda pedal.
The complex resonances can capture a piano in all its richness, like the resonance of a harp and all its cords, the duplex scale or the muffling effect when a key is played (different nuances of muffling) between other special effects, like staccato. It is a very adaptable instrument that can be connected to your MIDI compatible keyboard. The sound is produced through a physical modeled instrument that simulates the properties and behaviors of real acoustic pianos.
This software is a great upgrade that includes new sounds, functions, effects and only takes up only 20MB. Pianoteq 4 is defined as the future of virtual pianos and offers the best and latest available technology.
