    Personally I think this model is great. The one thing I am sorry about is that the iOS app is going to get slammed by people who think it should be $9.99 with 99-cent packs...

    Great post @MrSpiral … totally agree on the last point. Many people are living with the mindset that ipad is not a professional music production environment and yet want professional apps… we need to start paying professional prices then.

    For me, I’ve been playing with the demo and I’m blown away. Not purchased yet as I’ve just blown a few pounds on the old Spitfire sale, but once funds grow again, I will definitely be getting this.

    It reminds me of Moogs app Animoog for iPad - payed 1 (!) dollar for this tremendous synth in 2011 and it stills running good after 12 years!
    But, I think the iOS/iPadOS community is accepting higher prices in the future for good stuff (like Pianoteq 8)…

    6. One of the things that nobody EVER talks about is that there is a whole collection of historically accurate pianos, harpsichords, etc., that were developed early on by the Modartt folks in conjunction with some pretty heavy names in the collection and restoration of older instruments. And they are all FREE. If you read the fine print after you buy a desktop license, you're not starting with two sets of models, it's more like 16 of them... and they are GOOD models, sometimes preferable to the spendy ones.

    CAVEAT: they don't load automatically from your desktop license because they're free and therefore not registered in your user account. I am still trying to figure out how to install them, as the instructions on the app aren't clear, at least not to me. You're looking for the files KiViR.ptq and Bells.ptq.

    For those ptq files, just download them onto your ipad from modartt's site. Then use the Share function of iOS to share them - Pianoteq app will appear as a destination. Choose it and they'll be added.

    Thank you! Worked even easier than that; just clicked on the files in the Files app and they were automatically loaded and recognized. I was confused because doing it from inside the app didn't work; the Install A New PTQ button led to a directory where there wasn't any content. Many thanks!

    I comeback with a more positive view about Pianoteq 8. I will try the demo. I got LogicPro so if I understand for the price I can add it as a VST to Logic Pro ? I never add a VST on a Daw.

    My concern is my keyboard, I got only a tiny one : Arturia micro Lab 25 keys. I think that you enjoy it more on at least a 49 keys keyboard. An other way was to connect m’y Yamaha PsRx600 (61 keys keyboard ) with a cable host to midi but is it working with PianoTeq8 ?

    Hi! Pianoteq 8 exists in multiple plug-in formats. On Logic Pro on a Mac, you can add it as an Audio Unit. It should work just fine.

    If you can connect a keyboard to your iPad, Pianoteq and pretty much every other MIDI app should work right away. You will have to open the MIDI configuration of the app and make sure it is "listening to" your MIDI keyboard.

  • Another reminder. There’s a free Yamaha CP-80 which is a vintage electric piano available. Sounds lovely for that SuperTramp vibe.

    One small clarification: the CP-80 was an electric GRAND piano, with strings, hammers, and a soundboard. It was not an "electric piano" in the sense of a Rhodes or a Wurlitzer or a Hohner. But with the right settings, yes, it can give a sort of Supertramp feel.

    The CP-80 was a very rare beast. It was the full 88-key version of the famed CP-70 Electric Grand, and it didn't sell very well because it was even heavier than the CP-70, which was a beast, and the sound of the extra notes wasn't all that great.

    You could probably tweak Pianoteq to give you a CP-80 that sounds more consistent than any actual CP-80 ever did... assuming the KiViR research group hasn't already done that.

    (If you want Pianoteq to give you "the" Supertramp sound, get the Electric Pianos Pack, which has a Vintage Reeds sound set based on the Wurlitzer 100 and 200/200A, which is THE Supertramp electric piano. There's even a preset called "W2 Logical"!)

    Yes. And much loved by folks like Tony Banks (think he actually used the CP-70)

    I will have a look for it. I used to own a Wurlitzer and miss the sound.

  • Been waiting a long time for something of this magnitude to hit iOS! After Gav’s vid and some deep diving, there was no way I wasn’t completing this plugin! Costly but totally worth it!! This thing is STACKED!!

  • Why doesn’t Modartt sell Yamaha Grand/Upright pianos?

    U4 and YC5.... maybe not the U4 but the YC5 is Yamaha themed. infact the YC5 is the most versatile grand they have in my opinion.

    Ok, thanks for quick answer!
    The things that confused me was that Modartt using brand names on the other piano IAP, like Steinway, Petrof etc etc…
    Perhaps I go for YC5 as next step into Pianoteq…

    Lol, me, too. I hope I still have it. I’m also very interested in how much more expressive the large number of velocity points will couple with the acoustic action of the Kawai Novus I’m getting.

    It looks like Pianoteq has an annual "summer sale" every August (and again for Black Friday). I don't think the basic "Stage" license ever goes on sale, but I might be mistaken. I am tracking sales using AppSliced.

  • Hmm, I was hoping they’d include upgrade from Stage to Standard in their sales.

    I had big Playel concert piano from 1900 ...

    I doubt you had a Playel concert piano because there were no Playel concert pianos...

  • Anyone try Steinway B v Steinway D? I bought the stage version thx to @Montreal_Music s group buy 15% off. Sign up if you’re purchasing.

    Mike, you can demo everything yourself. No need to ask anyone's opinion really, as you can try them all, the timer in the demo version allows you to go up to 45 mins at a time as long as you press the 'rewind' button enough times.
