Pianoteq Stage/Play to Standard 8 Upgrade
Pianoteq Stage/Play to Standard 8 Upgrade
Pianoteq Stage/Play to Standard 8 Upgrade is for owners of Pianoteq Stage or Play Editions (versions 1 through 8) who want access to Pianoteq 8 Standard Edition. The Standard Edition offers unique and powerful tools to enhance and modify your sound, such as changing the unison width, hammer hardness, and string length. You can place up to 5 virtual microphones around the instrument, load external reverb impulse files, and work with up to 48 kHz audio.
Version 8 refines the engine and physical modeling to increase authenticity, and offers a fresh, streamlined user interface to enhance readability and usability. Pianoteq has partnered with Steinway & Sons, Steingraeber, Bechstein, Blüthner, Grotrian, and Petrof, each a venerated piano-manufacturing powerhouse. All of them have approved the sound of their pianos.
Pianoteq Standard 8 Upgrade comes with one free instrument pack of your choice. Taking advantage of the model and its parameters, a Morphing feature lets you merge several instruments to create unheard of, organic instruments. The software works on Mac, Windows, and Linux systems, operating in AAX, AU, VST, NKS, and standalone formats. Because there are no samples, the file size is just a tiny fraction of that required by most virtual instruments, making Pianoteq perfect for any laptop.
- Improved piano model: All contemporary acoustic pianos, the Vintage Reeds electric pianos and the Concert Harp have been carefully revoiced in order to increase authenticity and playability of these instruments. Everything is tailored to suit demanding recording projects and performances.
- New slick GUI facelift: Reflecting this new major upgrade, Pianoteq 8 offers a fresh streamlined user interface, enhancing readability and usability. Instruments and scenes are now nicely displayed for a clear presentation of preset selections.
- New Classical Guitar instrument pack (available separately): The nylon Classical Guitar, available as an instrument pack for Pianoteq 8, introduces a new exciting category of physically modeled instruments, with emulated gestures and natural instrument noises for breathtaking realism. Presets range from a 12-string acoustic guitar to a Greek bouzouki or even an electric guitar.
