Modartt Pianoteq Play was developed for musicians who want the convenience of a selection of beautiful instruments for an immediate playing session. Pianoteq Play is a virtual piano based on the powerful physically modelled Pianoteq software instrument, appraised by many musicians for its close intimacy and responsiveness.
Pianoteq Play offers the same breathtaking sound of Pianoteq 3 minus the zillions of parameter controls. It is designed for musicians who want a fully expressive, warm and rich piano sound without the baggage of mondo giga bytes holding down on your laptop/desktop like a wet blanket. If you believe that bigger is better - well that's just not the case. Pianoteq with just a 20MB storage footprint is a modeled Piano that sounds better and plays better than any of the sampled pianos on the market.
You are justified in wondering how on Earth Modartt can pack all this sound power and expressive control into such a tiny footprint - 20MB. The answer lies in very, very, very clever modeling of the behaviour of the piano and a super-smart engine that regenerates the sound as you play. This means that Pianoteq is truly the first, and only, digital piano that provides 127 unique and distinct sonic shades for every single level of velocity. If a sampled piano ever attempted this, it would be in the area of 2 Tera Bytes.
With Modartt Pianoteq Play, all demanding musicians can now enjoy the power and beauty of the award winning physically modelled Pianoteq software, which interacts with the player with the same close intimacy as an acoustic piano. Pianoteq Play users can at any time upgrade to any of the other Pianoteq 3 Products to gain further sophisticated features, such as to tweak the physical model or to position virtual microphones around the instrument. Pianoteq Play supports all Pianoteq add-ons.
Pianoteq Play works in Windows XP/Vista/7, MacOS X 10.4 or higher and Linux (x86) with Jack and ALSA backends. It is provided both as a 32-bit and a 64-bit version (the latter is suitable for those working with a 64-bit operating system). Besides a standalone version, Pianoteq is also provided as a VST (PC/Mac), Audio Units (Mac) and RTAS plugin (Pro Tools version 7.3 and higher).
