Description
Pianoteq 9 Stage
Pianoteq is an award-winning virtual instrument which you can install on your computer (PC/Mac). It is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux, and will even run on some ARM-based boards such as the Raspberry Pi. It can be used both in standalone mode and as an instrument plug-in in VST, AAX, and AudioUnits hosts.
What makes Pianoteq superior to other virtual instruments is that the instruments are physically modelled and thus can simulate the playability and complex behaviour of real acoustic instruments. Because there are no samples, the file size is just a tiny fraction of that required by other virtual instruments, making Pianoteq perfect for any laptop.
Version 9 of Pianoteq introduces a newly enhanced soundboard model that brings richer stereo and spatial perception. Every grand piano has been meticulously revoiced, offering a more organic, evolving sound with greater realism and nuance. This update is accompanied by an expanded sound palette, including expressive Sombre presets, delicate Felt presets in historical instruments, and refreshed Binaural modes for an immersive headphone experience.
We have collaborated with the best piano manufacturers in the world, Steinway & Sons, Steingraeber, Bechstein, Blüthner, Grotrian and Petrof, who all have approved the sound and playability of their physically modelled concert grand pianos available in Pianoteq. This rich and diverse collection of virtual grand pianos will appeal to all musicians in search of the most famous piano sound signatures.
Taking advantage of the model and its parameters, a morphing feature lets you merge several models to create unheard organic instruments.
You can upgrade to the Standard or PRO version at any time. Pianoteq Stage comes with two instrument packs of your choice.
