You might try Pianoteq 8 and love it for what you do. EDIT: Honestly V8 it is so much fun to play I probably have to get it, at least the Standard version. A player subtly adjusts based on what they hear, so really not valid for me.Īnyway, I am tempted to get the Standard version just to practice piano on, but I find the Ravenscroft to be just about as responsive, and much better sounding. I tried recording the MIDI with pianoteq and then playing it back on a sampled piano, but that doesn’t work for me. I always tended to use only the non-acoustic piano instruments from them in actual mixes.
The electro mechanical pianos - all of them including Hohners - are great, the harp is great, the harpsichords too, and now the nylon guitar (which seems excellent too from my demo). Many others - practically all the ones I have tried - are stellar. The weird thing about Modartt is that the acoustic pianos are in a sense their least successful instruments (as such). It‘s already great! To get a more dynamic feedback loop, for me the sound has to get better somehow. But just a little! I think this is because the responsiveness input of the feedback loop really can’t get much better. And because it sounds better it plays just a little more like a dream than before. I have been playing Pianoteq for years, and 8 sounds better for sure. I have to use a steep velocity curve slope, and when I do everything sounds better (I have a heavier touch), but even then it just doesn’t make it. As always with Pianoteq, I desperately want to like it but, alas. And I think I hear some weird artifacts too, like hashy noise.
Play to C1 or E2 on the NY or Berlin Steinway at fairly high velocity. These pianos are really getting better, but I still can’t hang with the sound.
