MODARTT is proud to announce the release of the eagerly awaited Pianoteq Pro, the advanced version of Pianoteq. Its major novelty is the note per note adjustment for physical parameters. The model itself has been improved in many areas, making the sound more beautiful and realistic than ever. Simultaneously, Pianoteq Standard is upgraded to version 3.5 and benefits from the same model improvements as a free bonus.
Pianoteq Pro powerful Note EditAnnounced in June 2007 on the Pianoteq forum
and awaited by many customers, Pianoteq Pro is
the advanced version of Pianoteq — the award
winning physically modelled piano.
For the first time in the history of pianos,
complete control of physical parameters of the
piano is made available to the user. In the real
world, reshaping a soundboard would require
several weeks of work in the factory. With
Pianoteq Pro, you have a new soundboard only
one mouse click away!
Pianoteq Pro features the note per note
adjustment for physical parameters. No less than
22 parameters offer this full control, such as
tuning, unison width, hammer hardness, strike
point, string length, spectrum profile, soundboard impedance, damper position... In fact
there are thousands since each overtone of each note can be controlled separately with the
spectrum profile parameter!
In 1977, Gabriel Weinreich concluded his grounding article “Coupled piano strings” with “In any
case, one could expect to build a better piano if the aftersound could be more deliberately
controlled through an appropriate understanding of the soundboard”. Thirty-two years later,
Weinreich’s dream is becoming reality with Pianoteq Pro.
Model improvements The following technical improvements come with Pianoteq Pro, and will also benefit Pianoteq Standard 3.5 upgrade:
- Richer soundboard model providing longer beautiful singing notes, Extremely realistic sympathetic resonances model, with a Duplex scale that can now be controlled separately by the user. The duplex scale resonance is issued from the un damped string parts located between tuning pins and frame and between bridge and frame. This invention was patented in 1872 by Steinway, who was in relationship with the physicist Hermann von Helmholtz, and enriches the harmonic content of the notes,
- Improved damper model, particularly noticeable in the bass when using partial pedals, and also with keyboards sending variable key release velocity,
- Hammer strike point and damper position now available to the user,
- Modification of the quadratic model, particularly noticeable in fortissimo,
- User modifiable velocity curves for the sustain pedal and note release velocity,
- Adjustable playback speed of the MIDI player in the standalone version.
