Pianoteq 6 - Beautiful. Vivid. Adaptable.

What it is: 
Powerful virtual piano modeling and beyond. 

How we use it: 
Replicate wonderfully authentic piano sounds and more. 

Why it's cool: 
Pianoteq works as the basis for a plethora of virtual instruments. After purchasing Pianoteq, you can expand your tonal palette by purchasing harp sounds, vibraphones, electric pianos, and many more. Pianoteq 6 brings numerous refinements in its engine and physical model, now implemented in all of the 49 physically modelled instruments.

Steinway & Sons
Steinway & Sons have approved the sound and playability of the Pianoteq virtual instruments Steinway Model D and Steinway Model B, which have gained from the refined physical model. These magnificent virtual grand pianos will appeal to all musicians in search of the most famous piano sound signature.

This major upgrade also adds compatibility with the VST3 format (in addition to VST2 format) and the ARM architecture (Linux version only, for example on Raspberry Pi 3 boards). The tuning section has become even more advanced with new tools, and the standalone version now offers a MIDI playlist, an improved MIDI archive and can export audio to FLAC and MP3 formats, in addition to WAV.

Pianoteq 6 Pro 
Adapted for the creative composer and demanding studio engineer. In addition to the Standard version, it gives you all the tools needed to work in a truly professional environment, letting you adjust 30 parameters for each note on the keyboard and work with up to 192 Khz audio.
