Guest In A Landscape Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 I recently moved and had to sell my spinet piano, as there is no space for it in my new apartment. So.. any recommendations for good piano software? I use Logic Pro with an AXIOM 49 for now -> and the bundled piano sounds, while decent, aren't real enough sounding.

mcbpete Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 And me too, finally got round to ditching my dodgy copy of Pianoteq 2 to buy a legit copy of Pianoteq 3 back in the summer. The difference is phenomenal, such a bloody ace VSTi.

mcbpete Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 Yeah and exactly the reason I bit the bullet and bought it. I have no idea what the reason is but no cracking group (as far as I'm aware) has tackled 'fixing' Pianoteq 3 at all - and believe me, I'd searched many many places !

cruising for burgers Posted December 24, 2010 Report Share Posted December 24, 2010 oh i thought everything that was posted on this thread was non sampled based, main reason i asked was because i never had listened such a good synthesized piano like pianoteq, i didn't even know it was possible lol i´ve been pretty out of the music making business lately Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide cruising for burgers's signature Hide all signatures https://www.instagram.com/ancestralwaves/ Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/62323-a-good-piano-vst/#findComment-1483350 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbpete Posted December 25, 2010 Report Share Posted December 25, 2010 Yeah pianoteq is physically modelled rather than sample based hence the really tiny install footprint ( the latest version being about 25mb). It's insane what they've managed to do as a result - for instance rather than having just a few samples for some velocity levels ( eg a recording at pp, p, mf, f, ff) pianoteq will have a different sound for the way the strings vibrate for all 128 midi velocity levels. Also if you hold down a chord then with those notes still held tap another note, you can hear those held strings resonating in the background. And loads of other stuff like exact angle of the piano lid, size of the piano etc. which would be near impossible with just a sampled piano ( well it would be possible just it would have about a 5 terrabyte installation). And the jump in realism between v2 and 3 is quite phenomenal too.

Guest Blanket Fort Collapse Posted December 26, 2010 Report Share Posted December 26, 2010 I am very very pleased with the sounds and feel of Pianoteq v2. I can't imagine how good v3 must be if there really is a dramatic difference.

Guest Blanket Fort Collapse Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 uhh I have the same rip and used that exact response key & it worked fine. dunno. I would post my NFO file but apparently yours shouldn't be any different. You read that it said that the protection bypass is buggy and always pops an error when you load the Pianoteq and just to hit ignore right?

Guest MrSparkle666 Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 This is by far my favorite: http://www.imperfectsamples.com/website/samples/fazioliconcertgrand/index.php Sounds way better than any of the other sampled pianos I've used, and I tried quite a few.
