![]() With each version, you get an extensive range of 14 free instruments that cover everything from church bells up to a couple of grand pianos. These are Pianoteq 6 Stage (€99) Standard (€249) and Pro (€399). I’d best run through the versions of Pianoteq because there are three (actually, technically, four). Like I said, it’s non-sample-based and uses physical modelling instead, so rather than 112GB for Synthogy’s pair of pianos, with Pianoteq 6, it’s a 50MB download, covering up to 49 instruments (and not just pianos, as we’ll see). This is because it has not only sounded great but delivered so much greatness over a relatively light download. Over several years and versions, the company has been adding more and more features and models to its incredible Pianoteq software and MusicTech has been heaping praise on it on just about every release (It has won at least two Gear Of The Year Awards and several Excellence and Innovation Awards). Modartt, however, as well as realising the popularity of the piano, has always trodden a slightly different, non-sample-based path to piano perfection. Of late, I’ve looked at a pinnacle of hardware sampling in the form of the Nord Piano 3 and, just recently, I looked at Synthogy’s latest Ivory collection, surely a new standard for detailed software sampling. Music-technology companies know this, of course, and have been offering us various sample-based solutions over the years promising to be the perfect piano substitute. My music collection would say otherwise, screaming ‘synth!’ all the way, but even if you were to add up every synth preset that’s ever been recorded, I’m willing to bet that you wouldn’t come close to the number of times the piano has been saved to tape, wax or hard drive. The piano is easily the most popular keyboard instrument ever created.
