Of “living” or “organic” quality in comparison to sampled pianos which sound “dead.” Phil Best regularly makes these kinds of claims in his videos. After several years playing both Pianoteq and top quality sampled pianos, I have to say that I’ve never found this to be the case. Yes the playability on Pianoteq is excellent, but there is no magic “living” quality that I can discern, and a well engineered sampled piano is just as (if not more) capable of producing a natural organic quality. In fact, the most natural playing and sounding virtual piano I know of is the VSL Bluthner, while feels more like a living, breathing instrument under my fingers than any modeled piano I’ve tried. The vintage tone may not be to everyone’s taste, or suitable for all repertoire, but in terms of creating an authentic and alive playing experience, it’s absolute tops in my book.Okay, I’m going to retreat to my bunker now to avoid the incoming bombs. 🫣Joined: Nov 2018Posts: 1,8301000 Post Club Member1000 Post Club MemberJoined: Nov 2018Posts: 1,830Quite a few people seem to be claiming there are no differences between Pianoteq 7 and Pianoteq 8. I've had a chance to A/B test multiple pianos and there are most definitely some nice improvements. I feel it as improved vibrancy and sparkle. Nice changes in the bass as well, in my opinion.This is an easy comparison between the Ant. Petrof on Pianoteq 7.5.4 vs Pianoteq 8. You can compare the entire recording or jump directly to the deep-linked times to compare some more obvious differences.7.5.4 @ 1 minute 10 second mark: 8.0.0 @ 1 minute 10 second mark: I'm enjoying Pianoteq 8 very much!Joined: Sep 2020Posts: 111Full MemberFull MemberJoined: Sep 2020Posts: 111Thank you for posting those videos, Navindra!

Hello everyone,I'm testing the trial version of Pianoteq (stage and standard) I find really good and inspiring.I have a question about overtones, in a YouTube video I saw a user with the Pro version playing overtones (always a problem in sampled pianos)However when I tried to play overtones on my trial version only the 1st and octave overtones would be really heard.I.e. if I play C4 muted, I can make resonate the other strings only playing C3 and C5, C6...If I play E3 for example to make the sympathetic C strings resonate I can hardly hear anything if at all.So are overtones different across section of Pianoteq?Also in said video the user was able to bring the velocity down to zero thus playing only the overtones, without the fundamental, I wasn't able to replicate that too on my trial version...Any idea of what's going on?Many thanks 2 Reply by brundlefly 27-02-2025 01:25 brundlefly Member Offline Registered: 31-03-2022 Posts: 212 Re: Are overtones different between Pianoteq versions? Yes, Pianoteq produces the full complexity of resonances in a piano, including string, duplex string and case resonances, and not just octaves. I suspect what you were seeing was a demonstration of Pianoteq being used as resonance FX for another instrument in which case you would send the MIDI to both the main instrument and Pianoteq but pull the velocity curve down to zero so that Pianoteq resonates based the audio input from the main instrument and which dampers are raised (per the MIDI input) without its strings being directly hammered.I'm not sure right offhand whether the demo can be used as a resonance FX and I suspect you need at least Pianoteq Standard to get it, but all verisons should have the basic resonance response for all the internal sounds; you just don't have as much control over them in Stage. 3 Reply by vertumno 03-03-2025 14:48 vertumno Member Offline Registered: 20-02-2025 Posts: 2 Re: Are overtones different between Pianoteq versions? brundlefly wrote:Yes, Pianoteq produces the full complexity of resonances in a piano, including string, duplex string and case resonances, and not just octaves.

Simeon describe this in his youtube video. He uses a Cello in Kontakt and let Pianoteq control the sympathic resonance.I’ve been playing around with this feature and it’s actually really cool. A lot sampled pianos don’t have very good sympathetic resonance generators built in, so it’s great to be able to use Pianoteq for this purpose. IMO, this is the best thing about version 8, and worth the $29 if you’re upgrading from an older version.But because it feels more "alive" when you play it, it also sounds better when you're playing it.At the risk of inflaming the holy wars again, I’m going to call BS on this.

I said that after having played Pianoteq and Garritan CFX side by side. Pianoteq simply felt better to play. I prefer to play it. Does it actually sound better? I don't know, pretty sure if I just play a single key on each the Garritan CFX note sounds better, more natural. Why then, do I prefer to play Pianoteq? Maybe it's just the playability, and I prefer Pianoteq even though it sounds worse. But that's certainly not the way my mind works. Pianoteq feels better to play, so it sounds better while you're playing.Doesn't matter if it is BS, though. The Pianoteq demo is free and nearly fully functional, and a quick and simple install. Anybody who cares to try can demo them side by side and decide for themselves.Wasn’t directing my comments at you specifically, just my disagreement with the general sentiment (which I’ve seen expressed numerous times over the years) that Pianoteq is somehow more “alive” in comparison with sample-based instruments. Pianoteq was actually the first external VST I purchased based largely on such claims, and I was more or less happy with it until I had a chance to try a top level sampled VST, at which point I realized just how misleading many of the claims made about sample-based instruments by Pianoteq advocates were. Not only was the sampled piano just as capable of expressive and nuanced playing as Pianoteq, it also sounded way more tangible and real, which for me translated into a much more involving overall playing experience. After that there was no going back.I still keep up with Pianoteq and dutifully download each new version to see if they’ve finally been able to close the gap, but so far none of the updates they’ve made over the past few years has changed my overall opinion.In any case, I agree that everyone should feel free to try the demo out and come to their own conclusions,Comments
Of “living” or “organic” quality in comparison to sampled pianos which sound “dead.” Phil Best regularly makes these kinds of claims in his videos. After several years playing both Pianoteq and top quality sampled pianos, I have to say that I’ve never found this to be the case. Yes the playability on Pianoteq is excellent, but there is no magic “living” quality that I can discern, and a well engineered sampled piano is just as (if not more) capable of producing a natural organic quality. In fact, the most natural playing and sounding virtual piano I know of is the VSL Bluthner, while feels more like a living, breathing instrument under my fingers than any modeled piano I’ve tried. The vintage tone may not be to everyone’s taste, or suitable for all repertoire, but in terms of creating an authentic and alive playing experience, it’s absolute tops in my book.Okay, I’m going to retreat to my bunker now to avoid the incoming bombs. 🫣Joined: Nov 2018Posts: 1,8301000 Post Club Member1000 Post Club MemberJoined: Nov 2018Posts: 1,830Quite a few people seem to be claiming there are no differences between Pianoteq 7 and Pianoteq 8.

Hello everyone,I'm testing the trial version of Pianoteq (stage and standard) I find really good and inspiring.I have a question about overtones, in a YouTube video I saw a user with the Pro version playing overtones (always a problem in sampled pianos)However when I tried to play overtones on my trial version only the 1st and octave overtones would be really heard.I.e. if I play C4 muted, I can make resonate the other strings only playing C3 and C5, C6...If I play E3 for example to make the sympathetic C strings resonate I can hardly hear anything if at all.So are overtones different across section of Pianoteq?Also in said video the user was able to bring the velocity down to zero thus playing only the overtones, without the fundamental, I wasn't able to replicate that too on my trial version...Any idea of what's going on?Many thanks 2 Reply by brundlefly 27-02-2025 01:25 brundlefly Member Offline Registered: 31-03-2022 Posts: 212 Re: Are overtones different between Pianoteq versions? Yes, Pianoteq produces the full complexity of resonances in a piano, including string, duplex string and case resonances, and not just octaves. I suspect what you were seeing was a demonstration of Pianoteq being used as resonance FX for another instrument in which case you would send the MIDI to both the main instrument and Pianoteq but pull the velocity curve down to zero so that Pianoteq resonates based the audio input from the main instrument and which dampers are raised (per the MIDI input) without its strings being directly hammered.I'm not sure right offhand whether the demo can be used as a resonance FX and I suspect you need at least Pianoteq Standard to get it, but all verisons should have the basic resonance response for all the internal sounds; you just don't have as much control over them in Stage. 3 Reply by vertumno 03-03-2025 14:48 vertumno Member Offline Registered: 20-02-2025 Posts: 2 Re: Are overtones different between Pianoteq versions? brundlefly wrote:Yes, Pianoteq produces the full complexity of resonances in a piano, including string, duplex string and case resonances, and not just octaves.

I've tried every configuration with no luck. And so strange, it worked perfectly with the exact same hookup and settings. Missed it today while practicing If anyone has an idea, feel free...Edit: Another forum made a suggestion, turning down the vol on my 105. Worked! I had no idea the vol was supposed to be turned down at all. I feel pretty dumb Anyway, the quirky thing is there's a ping sound with every key played. I have no special effects turned on.
