Modartt | Pianoteq 7 Stage Virtual Instrument Plug-in Modartt

Pianoteq Stage

Pianoteq Stage is a popular choice for the budget-minded musician. It is based on the award winning physical model, offered in Pianoteq Standard and PRO, praised by many musicians for its close intimacy and responsiveness.

Pianoteq Stage can at any time be upgraded to Pianoteq Standard or Pianoteq PRO to gain further sophisticated features, such as to tweak the physical model, to load Scala temperament files or to position virtual microphones around the instrument. With Pianoteq Stage, you are not locked to a certain product but have the option to upgrade whenever needed.

Pianoteq Stage supports all Pianoteq instruments, and if you upgrade to Pianoteq Standard or PRO, the instruments themselves upgrade automatically at no additional cost.

Pianoteq Stage supports all Pianoteq instruments:

• Includes 2 instrument packs
• Free download of our KIViR collection of historical instruments and Bells
• Optional instrument packs are sold separately.

The simpler interface in Pianoteq Stage is adapted for musicians who want the convenience of a selection of beautiful instruments for an immediate playing session. It is not for tweaking settings and parameters.

Pianoteq Stage brings the advantages of the Pianoteq physical model, such as:

• superior playability and expressiveness
• excellent performance on modern laptops
• small system footprint, less than 50 MB in size
• installs and loads in seconds

Pianoteq 7

Pianoteq is an award-winning virtual instrument which you can install on your computer (PC/Mac). It is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux, and will even run on some ARM-based boards such as the Raspberry Pi. It can be used both in standalone mode and as an instrument plug-in in VST, AAX, and AudioUnits hosts.

What makes Pianoteq superior to other virtual instruments is that the instruments are physically modelled and thus can simulate the playability and complex behaviour of real acoustic instruments. Because there are no samples, the file size is just a tiny fraction of that required by other virtual instruments, making Pianoteq perfect for any modern laptop.

Version 7 of Pianoteq brings numerous refinements in its engine and physical model, as well as newly developed Morphing and Layering features.

We have collaborated with the best piano manufacturers in the world, Steinway & Sons, Steingraeber, Bechstein, Blüthner, Grotrian and Petrof, who all have approved the sound and playability of their physically modelled concert grand pianos available in Pianoteq.
This rich and diverse collection of virtual grand pianos will appeal to all musicians in search of the most famous piano sound signatures.
