David Lai you will bring about the disaster on yourself.
i think at this point that is what he wants, he ask for it

Pete14 Surely, you meant to say “sampled” virtual piano talk; because the minute I even say “it starts with a P, and some people do prefer it,” all hell comes down on me!
I just opened PW and there’s a thread where all people agree that Pianoteq is now better than sliced bread, sex, the Apollo program, actually than anything in the universe, thus also infinitely better than acoustic pianos. When did PW become PianoteqWorld? 🧐 It explains why people suddenly started posting here about sampled pianos. It’s the only remaining free talk harbor when one doesn’t get canceled for liking sampled pianos.
For the record, I just opened the PT website to listen again to the VC280 demos because people say that’s finally the PT model that nails it. And it sounds like usual PT crap. I feel like living in South Park, the animated series.

Pete14 bunch of recordings
interesting, i see you use this all the time (after cg said it)
i wanna make something clear here, lemme ask you (everyone) smth...
which is worse? a bunch of recordings of the actual instrument?
or a bunch of codes and noises based on "a bunch of recordings of the instrument"?
that's the real question here
because every beautiful song and score are bunch of recordings of some instruments, i'm not sure someone can use that phrase as an insult, the best quality of sampled instruments is the fact that they're a bunch of recordings and not synthesizers 🙂

CyberGene And it sounds like usual PT crap.
No-no-no. Now you're out of line entirely.
This model is the profoundly succulent be-all end-all of universal music history, present and future.
These are the facts. Really, there's no way around it.

CyberGene better than acoustic pianos
these "ID_10_T"s have no limits
they're a real and scary cult,
i imagine that they also think that GTAV cars are better then real cars but what do i know?

CyberGene And it sounds like usual PT crap
even if it's better then their other models, so what? there's a saying : even a broken clock works properly twice a day.

one of the reasons why aliens won't attack us is the pianoteq
they probably tried it (as our latest technology) and said : the people of earth are still living in the jurassic era, we should not disturb them.

I keep hoping Pianoteq will improve significantly generation over generation. As it is, in the instances Modartt lets you compare directly across different generations using the same render, it always sounds differently off to me between the two, but not necessarily better in the newer generation.
I've also never felt the delta between Pianoteq's playability and that of the better sampled libraries has ever been as large as some folks make out. Maybe I'm just easily pleased or easily adaptable.
I don't hate it for what it is. If anything, I kind of just feel like I'm on the outside looking in. People who like it really, really like it. I wish I liked a VI as much as that. Even Modern D, which is still the best I've yet played, doesn't wow me as much as Pianoteq does its greatest fans.

+1, so well said 👍🏻

I just stumbled upon a friend of mines YouTube channel where he’s playing around with the Modern D. He’s a brilliant jazz pianist and I think it sounds lovely.

HZPiano he’s a great player, and he made a wonderful preset! 🙂

Just sharing my piano recording of Modern D. 😊
johanibraaten
jenpal Sounds great, thanks for sharing! Is that the built-in reverb of the Modern D?
jenpal
Thanks johanibraaten . 😊 yes, that’s the built-in reverb of Modern D and I turned on the 3 default mics.
QuasiUnaFantasia
It sounds exactly like it's you playing a grand piano in an otherwise empty cathedral. (And excellent playing, by the way).
I think the massive reverb works here, because the piece is fairly slow. If you were to record a faster piece, I would probably suggest dialing the reverb down somewhat to prevent unwanted dissonance.
David Lai
jenpal beautifully played! And yes, very much like an empty cathedral. 🙂
