Incorrect Pitch in Pianoteq 9 within Sessions - Solved

edited November 2025 in General App Discussion

I’m using the new Pianoteq 9 with Sessions on my iPad. Strangely, the pitch in Pianoteq 9 is incorrect when used in Sessions. When I compare it to Pianoteq 8 and other plugins, Pianoteq 9 is slightly more than a semitone too high. The problem seems to occur only in Sessions—in AUM and Logic, the pitch is correct. Has anyone else encountered this issue?

  • What sample-rate are you using in Sessions?

    48 kHz.

  • Using 44.1 kHz vs 48 kHz uncorrected produces a pitch shift of 147 cents. So that may be the problem.

    Good to hear that I'm not alone.

    I had the same issue with Sessions and Pianoteq 9. Pianoteq 8 has no problems.

    I noticed that:
    Pianoteq 9 does not allow 48kHz.
    Pianoteq 8, on the other hand, does allow it.

    Unfortunately, setting Sessions to 44.1kHz does not help.

    Same here.

  • Pianoteq 9 can be set to 48kHz in standalone mode.

    As AUv3 max. 44.1kHz

    So then it's definitely a 'bug' in the AUv3?

    It seems more likely that the problem is with Sessions, given that the plugin works properly in other hosts.

    True, the developers are pretty responsive so sending them a message won't hurt :)

    Thank you all. I'll keep you posted.

  • I reported the issue to OpenPlanet’s customer service and received a response within two hours (excellent customer service!). The problem is indeed related to the sample rate. An update for Sessions will fix the issue (likely soon).
    Thanks again to everyone!

  • Sessions 5.1 fixed the problem.
