![]() I feel like those are the best sounding options in both cases and specifically with binaural / headphones the closest Pianoteq can get to the sound of an actual piano without sending the sound through an actual soundboard. I prefer to use ‘Binaural’ with headphones and ‘Sound Recording’ with speakers. If you need more than that, Pianoteq Standard would be worth a try, but I found that matching the basic mic placement options to the piano models in Pianoteq Stage went a long way to making it enjoyable to play. Generic and straight-to-the-point mic placement but still useful. In Pianoteq Stage the main way to change mic placement is the the drop down box of the Output area which lets you choose: Stereo, Mono, Sound Recording and Binaural. I agree that mic placement has the most significant effect on the sound quality, followed closely by the quality of your sound system. I messed around with the trial version of Pianoteq Standard but it was too much fiddling around for me - so I stayed with and am happy with Pianoteq Stage. The good side is that he obviously like Pianoteq stage and this is important first step to try further and second no matter that he have stage version he can install demo standard version beside it, just create new separate folder where to install demo version and it will work without problem. If that route is product, it will cost unfortunately. Bad side is more money for standard version, but where ever we go we also choose to better meet ourselves. Thank you for your kind words, really appreciate it. the piano vst addict :-) who has most of the available piano vst options out there. ![]() I don’t have pianoteq, never used a trial either, but would go straight at the standard version, because i have high regards for the likes of slobajudge. So in order to have control over the sound in a way that has the biggest impact according to many, one really should go for the standard version instead of play.īut since there is still a probability that the OP belongs to those few who don’t hear a big impact/improvement no one can recomment the upgrade for 100% This route makes it much more easy to find a setting to one’s liking i presume ? ![]() Slobajudge says that changing the mics has the biggest impact on changing the sound, which is confirmed at the various topics at the pianoteq forums. OP says he wants to be able to adjust the tone of pianoteq more to his LIKING. That I should upgrade from Stage to Standard to get more realism?īTW, coincidentally, a parallel thread started yesterday on Reddit's r/ piano, which is sometimes like PW except on some Counter-Earth. Please translate for those who can't read between the lines. Yeah I know it is funny and not much help isn`t it ?įor someone able to read between the lines it says enough :-) Put it this way, my basic answer is Stage is enough, but I am glad that I have Standard version. With standard version you can load different FXP presets and some of them are very good. For me, mics placement makes difference more than other settings. Nobody can give you that answer, you must try it for yourself. Those who've been dubious in the past might not find anything here to fully win them over, but they might just have to accept that, for many players and producers, Pianoteq is far from a compromise solution.Depends how much you are sensitive for some details. Unacquainted pianists seeking an alternative to their bulky sample-based instrument should check it out, too. If you're a long-time Pianoteq user, version 5 should put a smile on your face and serve to convince you that there's plenty of potential in the software still to be unlocked. Any or all of the other instruments can be added later on, should you wish to buy them. The Acoustic Pianos flavour comes with D4 and K2 grands Electric Pianos has R1 and W1 Rhodes/Wurly emulations and a CL1 Clavinet and Chromatic Percussion comes with Vibes and Xylo packs. You can choose which of these 'flavours' you'd like when you buy any version (Stage, Standard or Pro - the latter reviewed here). That said, one of the beauties of Pianoteq is that it doesn't just do straight-up acoustic pianos: it can sound decidedly quirky if you want it to, and it also models electric piano and chromatic percussion. Still, it all adds to the sense of realism. This is impressive technology, certainly, though you'll inevitably need some knowledge of how pianos are miked up in reality to get the most out of it. ![]() What's more, as well as being able to position mics, you can now rotate them in three dimensions, attach them together and control the polarity and proximity effect. In fact, we now have an almost bewildering selection of options to choose from: 15 well-known mics are modelled, and you can choose from different polar patterns where applicable. Another area of the software that's felt the hand of the developers is the microphone section. ![]()
