Barrie Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 I didn't realize until today, that you can link your account in the iOS app, and unlock all the instruments you have purchased in Windows/Mac version! Why can't more developers do this. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Baay Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 I'm sure a lot of Pianoteq users here are watching the Modartt forum. but thought I'd give a little heads-up here about the change in sound of this release: It's pretty radical for a "minor" update (not a new version with it's own plug-in .DLL that you can choose not to use in existing projects). If you have mixes that depend on the timbre (and loudness) of the last version (8.1.3 I think), you might want to render the raw Pianoteq output to wave before updating in case you don't like it and/or don't want to re-mix. The new timbre aside, I found at least one of the new "voicings" to be 2.5-3dB louder. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the one I noticed sounded the most different, but I only compared 5 of the 11. I liked the new classical guitar voicing. It sounded more alive / authentic.

Yes, a "dry" version of the "Jazz Recording" preset with built-in reverb, delay and limiting disabled - otherwise unmodified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
husker Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 What is a good sale price on Pianoteq? Looking at the Stage package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Baay Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 (edited) Best option is to buy one of the used licenses that are frequently offered for sale on their forum. I effectively got Pianoteq Standard for 40% off which is better than you will ever get from Modartt directly. Only caveat being that you can't resell it a second time IIRC.

Quoting myself here, I have to retract this statement. As I posted on the Pianoteq forum, it seems the difference I was hearing and measuring was mostly due to FX in CbB differentially reinforcing the more prominent low-mid frequencies in the new voicing. In other words, my FX settings were already modifying the tone in same direction as the re-voicing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
