Download Pianoteq (Last 2021) for Windows 10, 8, 7

Piano is award winning virtual instrument that you can install on your PC (PC / Mac). It can be used both in standalone mode and as a plug-in instrument on VST, AAX and AudioUnits servers.

What makes the application superior to other virtual instruments is that the instruments are naturally modeled and thus can simulate the reproducibility and complex behavior of real acoustic instruments. Excluding the use of samples, the file size is only a small fraction of that offered by other virtual instruments, ideal for use on any modern laptop.

Version 6 of the application brings many improvements to the engine and its natural model, increasing the realism and acoustic presence in all its instruments: acoustic pianos, electroacoustic pianos, historical instruments and color percussion. It becomes, more than ever, a huge joy in the game.

Pianoteq template offers uniquely powerful tools for improvement and modify the sound, such as change in unison width, hammer stiffness and string length. You can place up to 5 virtual microphones around the instrument and load external resonance pulse files. You can upgrade to the PRO version at any time.

Pianoteq scene is the choice of the budget-driven musician who does not need to modify the sound. The scene includes the same instruments, sounds and playability as Standard and PRO. You can upgrade to the Standard or PRO version at any time.

Pianoteq PRO is the most advanced version, adapted for the creative composer and demanding mechanical studio. In addition to the standard version, it provides you with all the tools you need to work in a truly professional environment, allowing you to customize 30 parameters for each note on the keyboard and work with audio up to 192 Khz.

Steinway & Sons has approved the sound and playback capabilities of the Steinway Model D and Steinway Model B virtual instruments, which have been acquired from the refined physical model. These wonderful virtual pianos will appeal to all musicians looking for the most famous piano sound signature.

Makes your workflow easier by adding compatibility with VST3 format and ARM architecture (Linux version only, for example on Raspberry Pi 3 boards). It includes string recognition and the tuning module has become even more advanced with new tools. The standalone version now offers a MIDI playlist, an enhanced MIDI file, and the ability to export audio in FLAC and MP3 formats in addition to WAV.
