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 can also see the pro version has a lot more control over the resonance which the stage version doesn't have.Perhaps Stage is too basic for my purposes...

(Image credit: Modartt)Being a pianist in the year 2018 isn’t all that easy, with questions and options abound at every conceivable turn... Acoustic or digital? ROMpler or controller paired with a plugin? Samples or modelled instruments? It’s enough to make a grown man or woman throw their delicate piano-hands up and plead for help from a higher musical power! But I digress…For the past 12 years, Modartt has staked its sonic claim on a modelled approach to creating virtual keyboards. Unlike sample-based products that record acoustic instruments at varying velocity levels for playback, Modartt’s Pianoteq creates tones by way of mathematically modelling the active relationship between hammers striking strings, that are coupled to a resonant soundboard. Modelling also requires a fraction of the disk space that sampling does: Compare the 67 MB download of Pianoteq 6 to the multi-gigabyte size of a high-end sample library.While sampling allows for pristine recording and playback of acoustic sources, modelling allows a near-infinite array of parameter shaping and sonic experimentation. Piano modelling has been around for decades. (Who can forget Elton John playing the famed Roland RD-1000/MKS-20 piano sound?) But Pianoteq has taken it to an altogether new level with consistent upgrades and instrument additions.The best MIDI keyboards for beginner and pro musiciansBest synthesizers: keyboards, module and semi-modular synthsBest acoustic pianos: budget to premium instruments for home and studioVersion 6 in four flavoursPianoteq 6 is the latest in Modartt’s continued quest for virtual pianistic realism. How close does this new release come to a thousand-pound concert instrument? We’ll give you a hint: Famed piano maker Steinway & Sons has offcially endorsed this new version by emblazoning their logo across the home screen.Pianoteq 6 is available at four different price points. The basic Stage version ($129) has the fewest instruments and editable parameters, but you have a choice between an Acoustic, Electric and Chromatic Percussion focus. The Standard version ($319) has more instruments and includes customizable options such as tuning, microphone selection and positioning, and piano-model tweaking.The Pro version ($519), which includes even more instruments, supports audio resolutions up to 192 kHz and provides a wide array of adjustable parameters such as overtones, reverb and note-by-note editing. At the very top is the Studio bundle ($899), which includes everything in the Pro package along with free instrument updates and upgrades for one year.How much Pianoteq do you need? Only you can answer that question. Although my review copy was the Studio bundle and contained just about every conceivable option under the sun, I am quite sure, as a gigging pianist, that even the Stage version would have worked for me. But your answer will also depend on just how deep you want to get into

Which I don't think they will do for free if at all.Last edited by VladK; 07/23/20 11:47 AM.Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools because they have to say something.

The next version will be call Pianoteq 7 AI. It will include a new neural network modelled acoustic pianos. Don't ask me for a release date, I already said too much.It must be a collaboration with Elon Musk. Pianoteq 7 AI will mold itself to your preferences and learn your acoustic desires to become whatever piano you want.

Times made me change my drive by an SSD. 4. The number of instruments is a plus of pianoteq if we are budget limited (only 50$/instrument), or space limited. 5. The settings of Pianoteq are quite exclusive... but I can’t use them (as a Stage Pianoteq user).6. Ok, the latency depends of the ASIO driver and settings... we need a very bad VST to add extra latency.Joined: May 2018Posts: 1,9691000 Post Club MemberOP1000 Post Club MemberJoined: May 2018Posts: 1,9691. Well, Ivory works with iLok. You have the choice of PC or dongle storage of the licence.Yes, mea culpa! I forgot about the iLok because I already had an account, so it didn't mentally register like much of an issue. I was thinking about the iLok dongle, which is no longer required.Physical instruments: Roland FP-30, and E-28Virtual instruments: "The Experience" piano collection, NI "The Maverick", Galaxy II Grand piano collection, Synthogy Ivory II Studio Grands, Production Voices Estate Grand, Garritan CFX Lite, Pianoteq 7.5.2Focus: 1850±100 yearsJoined: Jul 2012Posts: 10,56210K Post Club Member10K Post Club MemberJoined: Jul 2012Posts: 10,562There something about having the strings vibrate on a real piano that I don't know if software can replace.How do you know those ‘strings’ on that ‘real’ piano are not part of an all-encompassing simulation software, and that you, too, are simply part of that simulation?We insignificant things have barely scratched the surface with our basic little simulations within the larger simulation. So yes, we can create a virtual personal assistant, namely, SIRI; or can we? No!Although we believe with high certainty that indeed we are creators the truth is that we are no more than working bees simply following commands previously programmed by aliens into the all-encompassing simulation.You think you have free will?
