I think at the current rate of improvement, I'll be waiting for version 23. Pianoteq's versatility, configurability and customization of the instruments is one of its greatest strengths, in my opinion, especially when compared to the more limited options available with sampled piano libraries. To address kapelli's comment about "boxy bass and not sparkling top, those and nearly every other aspect of the sound are easily changed and customized in Pianoteq standard and especially, in even a note-by-note way, in Pianoteq Pro: you can have as "unboxy" a bass and as "sparkling" a top as you prefer. The U4 upright is also much improved, as is the YC5, modeled on a Yamaha grand.Īll in all, a great deal of development and a very convincing sound with all of the Pianoteq pianos in their current form. The most dramatic and noticeable differences and improvements can be heard in the Steinway Model D, the Bluthner, and even in Pianoteq's own "ideal" piano (not modeled strictly from an existing acoustic piano), the K2. The Model B and the Grotrian Concert Royal pianos, as the most recent and previously the most developed and refined of the Pianoteq piano instruments, have the least noticeable improvements over those in Pianoteq 5. It is good to see them chipping away at it, and keep working on it bit by bit to bring it a little further each time. Also, perhaps when I get my modelling playing phase back again one day, but for now, overall, the samplers is where I feel happiest.
#PIANOTEQ 5 D4 EQUIVILANT TO IN PIANOTEQ 6 UPGRADE#
It is a cheap upgrade and probably I'll get it at some point in support for their efforts. I hope I didn't upset too many die hard fans On the other side of the coin, it still sounds like characteristic pteq in many ways as well ( to me anyway)
I'd put it as a subtle improvement, without doing any blind tests, to see if I can tell the versions apart or anything of the same pieces, but just under casual playing that there is a slight difference in timbre and/or voicing for the better, but in a nutshell, a small bit of evolution in 6 from 5 is how I feel about it with the B, not a revolution. I tried the 6 demo just for fun, played the same pieces back to back on 5 ( I own 5 standard ) and 6 mostly on the model B, but dabbled with the other briefly, not yet tried the D4, which I never really liked I was also never a fan of Pianoteq, due too their boxy bass and not sparkling top. However, in every group of people there will always exist some with differing or opposing views, and some who make a proud practice of being contrarian for its own sake.Īuralic Aries mini, Exogal Comet, Roksan Caspian m2 amp and Usher floorstanders. The audio files produced by the piano instruments are so convincing that I would not be able to reliably distinguish them from recordings of actual, physical acoustic pianos, and it seems to me that it would be fairly difficult for others to do so.
#PIANOTEQ 5 D4 EQUIVILANT TO IN PIANOTEQ 6 PRO#
The Pro version of Pianoteq, which I upgraded to previously with Pianoteq 5, allows for extensive and finely-controlled customization of nearly all aspects of the various instruments. This latest version of Pianoteq and its updated instruments, to my ears anyway, sounds extremely crisp, detailed, resonant, nuanced and rich across the entire keyboard range, including the bass end. I would probably question (not doubt, mind you, but at least question) your audio chain and headphones, or the ears they are attached to.
