PIANOTEQ 9: THE ULTIMATE VIRTUAL INSTRUMENT

Pianoteq is an award-winning virtual instrument that simulates a wide range of instruments including pianos, electric pianos, harpsichords, vibraphones, guitars, steel drums, and more, using advanced physical modeling. Unlike traditional virtual instruments that use recorded sounds, Pianoteq generates sounds in real-time by calculating the physics of how strings vibrate and how the soundboard radiates sound.

Why Pianoteq Stands Out:

  • Natural Playability: Physical modeling captures many of the subtle interactions and dynamic nuances found in acoustic instruments, providing a responsive playing experience.
  • Compact Size: Without relying on large sample libraries, Pianoteq requires only a fraction of the storage space of many virtual instruments, making it ideal for iPhone and iPad.

Trusted by the Best:

Steinway, Kawai, Bösendorfer, Bechstein, Petrof, Steingraeber, Grotrian, Blüthner, and Hohner have all endorsed Pianoteq for its faithful sound reproduction.

Getting Started:

  • Connect a MIDI device to your iPad/iPhone.
  • Launch Pianoteq.
  • Start playing!

Pianoteq also works as a plugin in any Audio Unit host application, such as GarageBand, AUM, Cubasis, Camelot, and more.

Note: All instruments run in demo mode (with some keys disabled) until you purchase a Pianoteq STAGE license (unlocks two instruments) or link to an existing Pianoteq user account with a valid license. Licenses purchased on the App Store are valid across other supported platforms (macOS, Windows, Linux).

First of all, Wow. This is in a league of its own. It allows for every aspect of the piano sound to be changed, softened, brightened, muted, etc. I would say this is for people who are very particular on feel and sound (even minuscule aspects). Great sound banks. I would actually like a “noise” generator to emulate white noise behind a recorded signal. I kind of like that raw sound sometimes.

This is my favorite virtual piano. It feels and sounds great. I particularly enjoy the ability to detune it slightly, because just about every piano I play professionally is at least a tiny bit out of tune. I find myself going to the Bechstein most of the time,but having such wonderful other options is “an embarrassment of riches”. The tine and reed pianos are also a joy to play and tweak, and it’s great fun having the Hohner instruments to enjoy; other than the clavinet these are all new to me. I’m a loyal fan and can’t imagine how much better Pianoteq will get. Highly recommended!
