Modartt – Pianoteq v8.3.1 for WiN

Pianoteq 8 is a virtual instrument from Modartt that uses physical modeling to recreate the sound and behavior of a piano and other instruments. Unlike sampler instruments, it takes up very little disk space, while providing high realism and a wide dynamic range.

Pianoteq 8 was released in November 2022 and includes several significant improvements:

• Dual Polarization: An advanced physics engine that simulates string vibrations in multiple directions, delivering a more complex and realistic sound, especially in the lower register.
• Revoiced Instruments: All modern acoustic pianos, the Vintage Reeds electric piano, and the concert harp have been enhanced for greater authenticity and expressiveness.
• New Instrument – ​​Classical Guitar: A new nylon-string instrument has been added, which, like the other instruments, is based on physically based modeling.
• New Interface: A refreshed and more user-friendly user interface makes it easier to navigate presets and settings.
• Morphing and Layering: Functions for blending multiple instruments and creating hybrid sounds.
• Deeper Control: More options for fine-tuning your sound, including changing hammer hardness, string length, and resonance.
• Brand-Name Models: Instruments endorsed by manufacturers such as Steinway & Sons, Bechstein, Kawai, Bösendorfer, and more.
