Pianoteq Standard to Pro 8 Upgrade (Download) Overview
Pianoteq Standard to Pro 8 Upgrade is for owners of Pianoteq Standard Edition (versions 1 through 8) who want access to Pianoteq 8 Pro Edition. The Pro Edition is adapted for the creative composer and demanding studio engineer, letting you adjust 30 parameters for each note on the keyboard and work with up to 192 kHz audio.
Version 8 refines the engine and physical modeling to increase authenticity, and offers a fresh, streamlined user interface to enhance readability and usability. Pianoteq has partnered with Steinway & Sons, Steingraeber, Bechstein, Blüthner, Grotrian, and Petrof, each a venerated piano-manufacturing powerhouse. All of them have approved the sound of these pianos.
Pianoteq Standard to Pro 8 Upgrade comes with one instrument pack of your choice. Taking advantage of the model and its parameters, a morphing feature lets you merge several instruments to create new, unheard of organic instruments. The software works on Mac, Windows, and Linux systems, operating in AAX, AU, VST, NKS, and standalone formats. Because there are no samples, the file size is just a tiny fraction of that required by most virtual instruments, making Pianoteq perfect for any laptop.
What’s New in Version 8
- Improved piano model: All contemporary acoustic pianos, the Vintage Reeds electric pianos, and the Concert Harp have been carefully revoiced in order to increase authenticity and playability of these instruments. Everything is tailored to suit demanding recording projects and performances.
- New slick GUI facelift: Reflecting this new major upgrade, Pianoteq 8 offers a fresh streamlined user interface, enhancing readability and usability. Instruments and scenes are now nicely displayed for a clear presentation of preset selections.
- New Classical Guitar instrument pack (available separately): The nylon Classical Guitar, available as an instrument pack for Pianoteq 8, introduces a new exciting category of physically modeled instruments with emulated gestures and natural instrument noises for breathtaking realism. Presets range from a 12-string acoustic guitar, to a Greek bouzouki, to an electric guitar.
