Pianoteq 5 PRO from Pianoteq is a virtual piano that utilizes physical modeling to simulate the properties and behaviors of real acoustic pianos. With a load size of just 40 MB, installation is quick and easy, allowing the software to be used on any modern laptop with a MIDI controller keyboard.
The PRO version is adapted for the creative composer and demanding studio engineer, with the primary differences over the Standard and Stage versions being the ability to adjust twenty-eight parameters for each note on the keyboard, and work with up to 192 KHz audio. Additionally, any instrument can be turned into a multi-instrument by using advanced keyboard splits for up to 105 notes.
The software comes in three flavors with a choice of two when purchased. They include acoustic pianos (D4 and K2 grand pianos), electric instruments (R2 and W1 electric pianos and CL1 clavinet) and chromatic percussion (V-B and V-M vibes, xylophone and marimba). More optional instruments can be purchased at any time and loaded into the software.

Pianoteq 4 Pro in its stand-alone version, with most of the main sound. There are free add-ons too: a cimbalom, two harpsichords, eight historical pianos. From the tiny download and installation size, Pianoteq isn't a sample-based instrument. The flagship C3 and M3 pianos of Pianoteq 3, incidentally, are gone for ever.

Note: This item is for registered users of Pianoteq 5 Stage or Play who wish to upgrade to Pianoteq 5 PRO.

Pianoteq is a physical modelled piano plug-in.

Pianoteq Torrent

Being a truly physical modelled piano, the sound is created in real time from scratch through a sophisticated mathematical model, simulating an acoustic piano. It is responding to how the pianist is striking each key and how strings are interacting, just like a real piano does, resulting in an expressive and vivid instrument.

The first generation of pianos began with Cristofori's pianoforte in 1698 which came to maturity at the end of the 19 century with the acoustic grand pianos. It was followed in the 20 century by the second generation electro-acoustic pianos and the third generation sampled pianos where each note is a recording of how it sounded during a specific moment in time, not taking into account the complexity of the instrument.

According to Modartt, Pianoteq is the first and only piano belonging to the fourth generation, developed in order to go beyond the limitations of the third generation and to become a versatile and innovating tool:

• Simulating acoustic pianos: Everything that characterizes an acoustic piano is there: the mechanic noises (optional), the complexity of pedals and strings in interaction, the percussion impact on staccato play, and the beauty of the piano sound.
• New possibilities: The unique adjustable parameters result in great realism and even allow going beyond the material constraints of an acoustic piano, thus being able to create new instruments and sounds.
• System friendly: Pianoteq adapts dynamically its CPU consumption to the resources available on your computer.
• Expansion packs: Recent versions of Pianoteq offer a selection of optional physical modelled add-on instruments such as vibraphones, xylophones, bass marimba, steel drums, celesta, glockenspiel, clavichord, rhodes, wurlitzer, clavinet, historical pianofortes, harpsichords, cimbalom, electro-acoustic pianos, church bells and tubular bells. The most recent additions include an authorized Blüthner Model 1 grand piano and an upright piano.
