This upgrade can only bring closer to a near parity in recorded sound.

Which is good.Įven before the update, I have listened to my own playing and those of others in the same works on acoustic D's and whilst the playing doesn't stand comparison, the sound isn't obviously a recording of a software instrument. needs more sparing use, than a Kawai 7' acoustic I have access to and more delicacy is needed now. I find Pianoteq's sustain pedal more effective, i.e.

The sustain also seems to provide, well, more sustain. (Additional distant mic and other tweaks in Pro) So, a good deal of relief and gratitude to Modartt.

As always, listening another day may provoke a slightly different reaction, but I have no plans at present to change my heavily tailored preset that suits my setup. The new version sounds smoother, but the top (loud) f in the penultimate section comes over very clearly, with the appropriate hardness needed. I recently recorded Chopin's Op6 No1 with the previous version, so I re-recorded it with the same preset and compared the 2. New version sounds slightly warmer and gentler.

I am today, once again in quite an excited musical state because of a small update to Pianoteq, with turns out to be more than at first imagined.Ī quick first reaction. (Yes, there are other software/hardware digital piano solutions out there - but Pianoteq is truly and genuinely more "the future is here" kind of stuff - from someone watching this space for a long time).Īgain I am compelled to express my sincere gratitude for Modartt's and Philippe's great work and attention to those supporting this magnificent software (ALWAYS over-delivering and improving all the time). It's quite stunning to have the closest thing to dozens of real pianos and other instruments right in the same seat. I do however love some settings having Dynamics set at 40, 42 or 45 - and this goes well with a feeling of more "headroom" in the sound - and like a quality 'real' piano, this inspires to play better. Those used to all the old midi pianos of the past might like to lower the dynamics slider to something like 26 if all the new detail makes their playing sound less precise - when playing poorly this stands out more to me. Last note about the above, I perceive that the new Pianoteq 6.1 sounds something like 20% 'better' (for subjective measure of 'better') and the piano behaves more realistically because of that detail. Too many words - but to my mind in essence, it's lossy the other way around - hope that's understandable for anyone reading. I'd definitely rather be able to pair down towards that warmth you mention, without losing any detail (way better results) than to not be able to achieve a very realistic bright concert sound etc.

My older presets now sound like I have cotton in my ears by comparison. in Pianoteq or sound settings & plugins in a DAW) but it was not possible to get as much detail from earlier versions. In reference to Arkanda, in 6.1 it's not so difficult to create warmer sounds with standard tweaks (EQ/hammers/etc. Modartt has never failed to impress on this level. This might have been a problem IF the new sound was not as good as it is. The new defaults with minor adjustments are way better than all my tweaking over the years on past versions. Many of my older settings are now indeed defunct and I'm glad of it. Have spent hours playing Pianoteq 6.1 here just now, and have again gone back to defaults (applying my own Velocity Curves/Dynamics/Reverb - mostly just curve and velo for now). Also, nice that the lower overtones are not too far changed - just improved just as expected. I love how there is so much more clarity within crowded passages - less 'cloud' of sound particularly among lower notes and overtones (as seen mentioned in some recent forum posts). This is no small improvement and is a rare thing - exceptional work again and thanks in accordance for 6.1!įor new users, it's definitely more usable 'out of the box' and for existing Pianoteq lovers, a new sound horizon with way more headroom.īoth of the Steinway pianos are yet more beautiful and even more closely characteristic to their real world selves - I feel more like reality is just so much closer here - no words just now for this other than more gratitude - I can throw any notes across the keys and it is so much more like the real thing - amazing.
