I find adding a little 'age' ('mint to worn' slider above the keyboard representation) to the models adds extra reality - coz it's the imperfections that give a sense of connection for me.
Oh this is great, I've been looking for the right piano sounds for years, have tons of sampled instruments but never came across this instrument - just grabbed a copy, truly great sounds.
It is not sample modelling but physical modelling as you rightly state in you written introduction unlike what you say in the video. The small footprint on on the HD and moderately so in memory are correct, but the load on the CPU can actually get quite high since the sound generating is all about number crunching, and physical modelling to the degree that Modart has taken it is very complex. I am technically geeky and a bit "obsessed" by getting the facts straight, but of course in the end it is the sonic and performance results that are the important ones. And here I find that Pianoteq really shines. It has been getting better and better sounding for each release, and the playability is superb. Very nuanced and subtle variations in your playing are all registered and carried through in the smallest detail. Good work getting a very enjoyable review out.
Just somehow stumbled onto this channel now, not sure why it didn't pop up sooner all these years. You sir are fantastic, everything about your videos is like BBC top level of production. Bravo! I feel like I'm watching a network Tv show, incredible.
Pianos are such a personal thing. They either inspire you to play, or they don't. There are some beautifully sampled pianos out there. It can also help you write and compose whilst listening to the clear notes, and in the back of your mind the harmonies will develop. Nice one Guy.
Thanks Guy. Wow, they've come a hugely long way - I remember the very first release they did years and years ago and thought very little of it, but this sounds fantastic.
*** It's NOT "_sample_ modelled" PianoTeq are PHYSICALLY Modelled. They carefully code over many years to model the mathematical physical acoustic behaviour of strings, hammers, tines etc, and how they struck, plucked etc. Toulouse And yeah They are gorgeous instruments.
Guy, if you wish to not bother switching presets on your streamdeck, you could just make a bunch of folders, each of which will lead to a completely different board. So, you will be able to switch between them of the fly, without touching the Streamdeck application.
Well Guy, I could also be very happy with this piece of software, absolutely fab! Just wish I could afford it, but it is a banging plug-in, would spend weeks just playing around. So well reviewed, as always, great.
The great strength of Pianoteq 7 is its instant responsiveness to nuanced subtle changes in playing. It responds to the slightest change in timing or velocity. It also loads up instantly. No problems on a 2012 macbk pro.
After building up a collection of orchestral sample libraries, I realised I’d never invested in a decent piano VST. My first thought was ‘I wonder what what Guy uses’. I think I purchased Pianoteq within 10 minutes of starting to watch this video

You are a fantastic musician and an even better inspiration to smile. You play a little tune and I’m thinking, that is fantastic... then you say, “nah” and erase and to something different. I’m going to watch you videos hoping some of your talents rubs off on me.
very well done video - always really enjoy your musical skills as well as your comedy skills. just when I thought I had already an abundance of piano sample librarie (including 128 "cinematic" and Felt pianos)I realized I had to get THIS! now I ended locked away in my room noodling around on a 17th century clavichord, which is so much fun. and there are tons of other great instruemnets included - I´d never thought that instruments catched by this special method could sound so great. thanks a bunch for this video!
Not that often but when I want to work something out "properly" I do it that way then play it in and arrange it in the DAW so I mainly go for pencil and paper to work out harmony
I suggested several years ago they should consider redesigning the user interface. But hey maybe they know more than well that their core target groups loves this looks from mid 90s?
I have both Pianoteq and Arturia Piano V. Personally I prefer the Pianoteq interface even though the Arturia one is more in line with modern principles.
@@Chalisque Good to hear John. Personally I have avoided getting this only because of the interface but fortunately some doesn't mind the old graphics (by which I mean difficult to see and use and a good interface makes you happy without taking notice.)
@@cornerliston I guess it's because I came to it at v3 when I had only a cheap digital piano and it was a revelation. Having learned it back then I am used to it, and appreciate not having to relearn a new interface. I also find it more informative and information dense than Arturia Piano V.
@@cornerliston in any case, using pianoteq player/stage as a preset player is straightforward and sufficient for most practical playing scenarios. I have only just made the step up to standard, and don't use much beyond what stage already provides.
I'm starting to love freedom to an extend I never imagined before. I made my choice: I subscribed and turned on the bell. :-D thanks for the video. Love Pianoteq too, it's so alive compared to sampled piano that sounds perfect. Your joy this morning turned a cloudy day into a sunshine. Hugs!
I feel the same way about the piano Guy! When I'm in front of the Piano and just starts to play, everything around me stops, so when I think that I have played for like 5 minutes it's actually 20 minutes later... amazing....
Hi Guy -- The tune you composed in this video is perhaps my favorite thing that you've done on this channel so far. Please tell me this will be an MP3 we can buy somewhere someday!
Physical Modelling here in The U.S. PT Pro is even better now. Every piano has felted options and you can layer without a DAW and even morph between instruments.
I was doing so well, really fancied fish and chips this evening but thought waste of money, so had toast. Then watched this video, 10 mins playing with the Demo and blew a years worth of fish and chips on the Pro version, was difficult choosing the four pianos but others aren't that badly priced for this quality to buy at a later date. Recently bought some new Adam Audio Monitors and the sound with these new instruments is just sublime. Just saving up for the sun glasses now!
Guy...’you’re mad.’ I for one, am so glad for that. I see I can comfortably function on this same frequency without looking over my shoulder. I think we are forever amazed and bemused by tech and we are happy because we are so wonderfully attracted to anything that makes our inspiration spark. I’m sure we could even find a part in our play for that old piano outa tune note we find now and again. Just a reverse thrust here, a touch of delay there, and ‘’Boilaa’’. (sorry, I’m chewing a biscuit) ❤️🌹❤️ Loving your videos and flair. (Nz) 👍👍👍
...so you've basically demoed my setup, Cubase and Pianoteq, only Pro versions of both. I'm just getting to know Pianoteq 7 and Cubase 11, so I'm still in the fumbling stages, but I'm liking the new sympathetic harmonic resonance. Maybe now some more classical folks will come onboard. :)
The reason Pianoteq is so small in size is that it uses an approach similar to Roland: minimal samples with synthesis simulating everything else. It's also one of the few commercial plugins that has a native Linux version and can simulate things like the Stuart and Sons 108 key grand piano, of which no library exists for.
@BrunoDSL As far as I'm aware, absolutely everything in Pianoteq is physically modelled. What specifically was 'sampled' in the plugin (whether minimal or otherwise?) I have never heard this said anywhere else.
@@Music-tg5is Code, even if it simulates something, wouldn't be that large in practice. It's similar to how Roland does it in their V-Drums. There are small samples of some of the fundamental stuff and synthesis is used to complement the rest and give the tweaks you are offered. Pianoteq would be too expensive to compute if *everything* was simulated.
@@BrunodeSouzaLino Okay. I'm just curious of what those elements are then. Are you just speculating based upon the CPU efficiency or do you know for a fact that samples are also being used? I think I get the principal of what you are suggesting, and wondered myself whether small things like the foot pedal or key sounds were purely synthesised or additional samples. But, I've never heard it confirmed one way or another. Modartt's statements seem to suggest the entire software is 100% physically modelled with zero samples employed in it's architecture. So, unless proven otherwise, I'm inclined to believe them on that issue, given what they've managed to achieve, I don't believe their claim is beyond their technical abilities.
Hello Guy, my warmest regards from Argentina. You are a great teacher and a great inspiration to me. Never arrogant and always teaching with a great sense of humor. Thank you very much! Best regards! Maria
Great as always... You didn't even mention Pianoteq's marvellous features around different tunings etc. I was totally convinced by your French movie BTW!
2:43 Actually, Pianoteq has a huge impact on CPU, because it doesn't just play a sample, like samples library, but actually creates the sample in the moment you play a key, basing on complex math. It's lightweight in terms of space taken on your memory, because math equations fits in few kilobytes, but it's actually very hungry on CPU.
@@puzzlepuddles6712 as the plugin is GPU hungry, you minimum latency is limited (as reducing your latency also increases the load on your GPU). If you want to play Pianoteq directly with a midi piano keyboard, then you have to put a low latency (at least 64 samples or less), and this could make your CPU less available for other tasks (included Pianoteq). If you are just composing the midi instead (not recording it in real time), then you can put a higher latency (i typically use 2048 samples when I am just listening to the mix, just to be sure nothing is overrunning).
Hi Guy, Love the videos. I noticed at the top where your bar lines are in Cubase you have bars zero and then -1-2-3 etc , how do you create the minus bars in Cubase??
Not sample modelling. It is mathematical modelling. I believe it is a hybrid between physical and data oriented design. The mathematical model incorporates physical principles, but the parameters are fitted to recordings.
Been using Pianoteq for several versions (just the Stage version,which is all that I need) and it has been improving all the way. And it's only 52Mb. PS I don't think there is any sampling at all involved. As I understand it it is completely modelled, which would certainly explain the size of the application. PPS If anyone is intersed,they also recently released a pipe organ modelling instrument, which sounds great too.
@@paultumelty Well....1.5 Tb of disk space for what? one piano? There is an iteresting point about the modelling approach. It responds to all 127 levels of midi dynamics. And with MIDI 2.0 you can get 65536 possible velocity values. Whether the Pianoteq model will go to those fine levels, who knows. But even at 127 levels, show me a fully sampled note per sample piano at 127 levels of dynamics. Personally, i just use the stage version,* which is more than i really require, along with the free instruments that you can download. Most of the other stuff, Rhodes, Wurli, Organs and Clavinet, (even Mellotron!) are already in Logic. *No morphing, alternative tunings etc. etc. just great piano sounds.
@@timbeaton5045 It looks great, but 799 is about £400 more than the most expensive VST I've ever bought :) You could get the cutdown one, but that doesn't give you a lot. I might download the demo and have a try though ;)
Does the 1796 piano model have three distinct registers Guy?The pianos around that time (Hummel and Field) had a different timbre in the 'tenor' register.The instruments sound 'wrong' to modern ears but the music written of that time often reflects this.
Hello Guy! Please tell us what do you use for control Cubase macro and other on the midi keyboard. iPad? I checked AppStore and searched Cubase App but it only support for Cubase 9. I use Cubase 10.5 Pro. Thanks!
I know where you get it... SampleModeling is a company that combines the two concepts of sampling and physical modeling, which parted ways with the folks at AudioModeling. AudioModeling’s SWAM line is well worth checking out. Amazing brass and woodwinds.
@@EricBayer But Pianoteq physical modelling has nothing to do with samples. It is based on a mathematical model of the piano, calculating each sound depending on a lot of parameters...
Me too... In Ghent we would call Guy "ne Pannekoeke". Which means a pancake, but in the most nicest way. In fact this is said about a person who can, at some times or suddenly, say something very silly but utterly amusing and so spot on for that moment ! L u Guy !
In another video I think he said he's got 128GB RAM (8 x 16GB) (!) And like an 18 core processor (i9?) And that's just the one rig - he's got at least one more, possibly nearly as powerful.
27:00 You said “Siri-ously, its up to you”, hence the I chose last time reply :) EDIT: I just listened to it again on bigger speakers, i think you said “see you soon”, not seriously, but same effect!
Hello Guy! Great video as always! Just curious - is it planned to make a video on scoring cartoony/comedy kinda scenes? Or maybe you already have one that i cant actually find :( I'm struggling :D Thanks
I find adding a little 'age' ('mint to worn' slider above the keyboard representation) to the models adds extra reality - coz it's the imperfections that give a sense of connection for me.
I agree
The voice over was rather fantastic and the perfect compliment to the arrangement. Nice work good sir!
"Ooomphy" is one of my favourite technical terms.

Guy updated his midi keyboard 6 months ago. The one he uses in this video is the Native Instruments Kontrol S88 Mark 2
plese do Cinematic Studio Brass review
It is called physical modelling AFAIK
You are right ~I was wrong!
I know where you get it... SampleModeling is a company that combines the two concepts of sampling and physical modeling, which parted ways with the folks at AudioModeling. AudioModeling’s SWAM line is well worth checking out. Amazing brass and woodwinds.
@@EricBayer But Pianoteq physical modelling has nothing to do with samples. It is based on a mathematical model of the piano, calculating each sound depending on a lot of parameters...
Lovely story telling at the end ;)
Wot music??
Funny how I kept hearing some sort of fretless bass lines after you added the piano, Guy
Also pianoteq sounds great
24:38 So well done
Pianoteq sounds alive! Anyone know if there is an upgrade path from Standard to Pro Bundle? If such a path exists it is not apparent on the website.
Just commenting for posterity since I presume you figured this out by now. Yes, there are upgrade paths from Stage/Standard to Pro.
The ending had me dying
Me too... In Ghent we would call Guy "ne Pannekoeke". Which means a pancake, but in the most nicest way. In fact this is said about a person who can, at some times or suddenly,
say something very silly but utterly amusing and so spot on for that moment ! L u Guy !
Hi Guy, I love your videos: they're pure gold! Did you ever tried the Arturia V-Synth Collection? What do you think about it? Ciao from Italy!
But how powerful is your computer though? How much ram do you have on it?
In another video I think he said he's got 128GB RAM (8 x 16GB) (!) And like an 18 core processor (i9?) And that's just the one rig - he's got at least one more, possibly nearly as powerful.
27:00 You said “Siri-ously, its up to you”, hence the I chose last time reply :)
EDIT: I just listened to it again on bigger speakers, i think you said “see you soon”, not seriously, but same effect!
AHA.... that's ridculous
@@ThinkSpaceEducation Every time somebody says "I'll ask her" in our house, Alexa springs to life!
@@ThinkSpaceEducation But the bigger question now is, what did you ask her to decide on last time :)
You're an amazing person :)
Sounded like one of the themes in Love Actually..
Hello Guy! Great video as always! Just curious - is it planned to make a video on scoring cartoony/comedy kinda scenes? Or maybe you already have one that i cant actually find :( I'm struggling :D
Thanks
Scary unexpected final! Should write an horror Siri-based piece
It was very weird
God I wish they’d make Pianoteq for iOS/iPadOS. They would make a killing financially.
Is this the composer life? because I want in!
Bravo!!!
What?! The 7th one? Nice!
Yup
