The goal is to put fewer emphases on one instrument in particular, but more on the whole music (including instruments which are all used wisely). See if you are going to use pianoteq to generate piano sound which will be combined with other instruments (flutes, violins, etc.). I consider that relying mostly on sound sampling quality is wasting all the resources on only one element. I think 80 GB no matter the justifications is overkill. Live performances are very stressful on hardwares (which are the limiting factor here). The Realsampels instrument also definitely has much more colors and sound depth.ĭo get me wrong, I still like and use Pianoteq very much, I just think, this should be a direction of future improvements. (I have the RME Fireface UCX and Sennheiser HD 599).īy the way, I made the same experiences when comparing, for example, the excellent sampled harpsichord from "Realsamples",Ĭomparing it to the Pianoteq Ruckers. This may change during future development of Pianoteq, IMHO, regarding these issues, there is still room for improvement.Īlso, very likely these differences will only be heard with a very good USB audio interface and headphones The pianoteq response seems to be more direct and real to me, on the other hand the C.Bechstein Digital sound has really considerable more depth and colors. There are some drawbacks, though, the Bechstein is very, very CPU consuming, you hardly can play it with maximum settings (500 voices)Īnd although I tried to adjust all possible settings, it still feels to me somewhat more "indirect" to play with, compared to pianoteq. The grand piano indeed seems even closer to the original. The sample files are *very* huge, 25 GB to download, this takes some time, uncompressed they have 80 GB!īut the sound is really great, I must say, the Bechstein samples do sound much more rich and complex, compared to Pianoteq, Unfortunately there is no trial version available, but there's a full 30 day money back guarantee, so I invested these 249,- Euros. I although recently couldn't resist to try the new "C. Using Pianoteq now since more than a year, and am very satisfied with it,
