What's amazing about MODARTT Pianoteq 5 is its realism. Strike a key on your MIDI controller and it's as though there's a piano there that you can reach out and touch. That's because MODARTT's Pianoteq 5 creates the sound of the piano in real time, taking into account all of the complex factors that make the piano so vivid. You'll hear the interaction between the strings, the use of pedals, the cabinet resonance, and the position of the hammers. From the weakest pianissimo to the strongest fortissimo, what you express on the keyboard will sound pure and natural through Pianoteq 5.

From Pianoteq's initial 2006 release, MODARTT has continued to develop the physical model for each major version. With a refined attack and soundboard model, Pianoteq 5 raises the bar for clarity and authenticity in its D4, Bluethner Model 1, U4 Upright, and YC5 rock piano. The new 6' 11" Grand Piano K2 combines the best characteristics of several source pianos, delivering a stunning sound with an ideal balance between warmth and brilliance. MODARTT also collaborated with Austria's Kremsegg Schloss Museum to create a collection of lovely historical pianos that are, naturally, perfect for original-instrument music, but they also add a refreshing element to contemporary music productions.

The many adjustable parameters in Pianoteq 5 make it possible to not only adapt the existing adapted piano model, but also to create new piano sounds. This is one of the advantages of a truly modeled piano - it opens up new possibilities for the creative musician. Go ahead and adjust everything from hammer hardness to string tuning and temperament to reverb, resonance, brilliance, timbre, and far beyond.
