![]() It is not for tweaking settings and parameters. The simpler interface in Pianoteq Stage 6 is adapted for musicians who want the convenience of a selection of beautiful instruments for an immediate playing session. Pianoteq Stage supports all Pianoteq instruments, and if you upgrade to Pianoteq Standard or PRO, the instruments themselves upgrade automatically at no additional cost. With Pianoteq Stage, you are not locked to a certain product but have the option to upgrade whenever needed. Pianoteq Stage can at any time be upgraded to Pianoteq Standard or Pianoteq PRO to gain further sophisticated features, such as to tweak the physical model, to load Scala temperament files or to position virtual microphones around the instrument. It is based on the award winning physical model, offered in Pianoteq 6 Standard and PRO, praised by many musicians for its close intimacy and responsiveness. Pianoteq Stage 6 is a popular choice for the budget-minded musician. So, you cannot really say that 500+ is the actual price of Pianoteq, because it's not. And you can also upgrade between versions, effectively making it a split payment to get to the version you really want, over time. ![]() The guitar is a triumph and Pianoteq already was a triumph, but you made it even a little better.Compatibility: PC Windows x86, PC Windows 圆4 And Standard version opens Pro version presets (which Stage version cannot). CFX Lite / Production Grand compact (b) with close mic only sound quite thi. So my set up with (a) Ravenscroft 275 / Italian Grand are close mic with either side or player mic. MusicRadar verdict: Modartt’s Pianoteq is reaching the piano ceiling, but successfully branching out into other rooms, and it’s as fabulous as ever. Hello, throughout my journeys with several VSTs I've noticed that I'll need at least 2 mics to get a fuller sound. It’s by no means an essential update – hence not a perfect score – and prices have inevitably risen, but this is as near-perfect a collection of piano (and more) instruments as you’ll find. This is, surprise, surprise, as good as it ever has been, and with the guitar inclusion, we could add ‘and always will be’, such is the future light which that inclusion shines. So maybe go for a cheaper option to start with and buy packs at your leisure for a very reasonable €49 a go. The Pianoteq Standard version offers several powerful tools for sound shaping and recording. We’re not convinced all are worth having – the tyranny of choice could slow you down. As to which one is good for you, check out the 20+ packs to choose from. If you really know your instruments, you might also be tempted to go for the more expensive entry points as they unlock extra features like tweaking models, advanced tuning and mic positions (for Standard) or 192kHz audio and overtone editing (for Pro). Choose the cheapest Stage version (€139) and get two more packs from the 20+ on offer select Standard (€269) and choose three extra packs Pro (€399) and choose four packs and finally Studio (€799) and get all 20+ packs. With any level you choose, you get a free pack of 14 instruments. You might be slightly confused by the four levels of Pianoteq on offer when you are first faced with the choice, but actually, it’s pretty simple. ![]() That might be us, though it sounds top-notch and is there if you want it. And of all of the packs, only the Steel Pan pack is one we’d perhaps not use much. Some of the Chromatic Percussion sounds are great too. Acoustics have never sounded so good and if you think your standard DAW piano is good enough, then think again. The only thing we can add, on top of how much class and realism they will bring to your piano sounds, is how surprised you might be by the varied sounds, and what you can do with them. With the acoustics, as shown in the top right picture, there is no stone left unturned now, with every major model here, and many endorsed by the companies that made the originals: Steinway, Bechstein, Petrof and more. It’s similar to the effect you get on the piano-style instruments that introduce noise.Īnd we really should, of course, focus back on the piano and other packs, as this is where the real strength of the software has always been. There are extra tuning options and a very neat touch is the Pro and Casual slider that adds more realistic noise, as you become less professional in your playing. As to the sound of the guitar, it is pristine and nuanced, with delicate string movements. ![]()
