Pianoteq PRO
Pianoteq
The Ultimate Piano Plugin
Pianoteq PRO is the ultimate product for professional composers and recording studios, and has proved to be an indispensable tool in many recording projects - from movie soundtracks and tv commercials to the latest hit songs.
By being physically modelled, Pianoteq PRO brings you an extremely sophisticated tool for sound shaping and instrument creation, letting you create your own unique sounds that will enrich your projects.
The PRO version works with internal sample rates up to 192 Khz. By using its powerful Note Edit feature, you are able to adjust physical parameters for specific ranges, and even note by note. You can also turn any Pianoteq instrument into a multi-instrument by using advanced keyboard splits for up to 105 notes (concerns instruments with extended octave range).
Note editor
The note editor is designed so that you can work with it effectively – it saves you time and increases your creativity. On top of this, its spectrum profile editor lets you adjust each overtone for each note, bringing you thousands of sound combinations that will help you finding your own unique instrument.

The pianos sound absolutely real to my ear yet because they’re modelled they can also be adapted to defy physics… I made myself an upright piano with a 30 metre soundboard the other day!!

Pianoteq’s customizable capability provides me with every type of sound required for every type of mood and situation. Pianoteq has become my ‘go to’ instrument for sketching and final production.
Pianoteq can be used with any MIDI compatible keyboard. We recommend a touch sensitive keyboard, such as one with full weighted keys simulating the hammer response of a real piano. See tutorial section 16.4 for adapting Pianoteq to your keyboard in the best way. For partial pedalling, a progressive sustain pedal is required.
The requirements for using Pianoteq successfully are:
- Recent CPU
- 512 MB RAM
- ASIO compatible sound card and drivers (concerns Windows users only)
- Internet connection (if activating the software using quick online method, otherwise see modartt.com/pianoteq/faq)
- Windows 7 (64-bit) or later, macOS X 10.11 or later, Linux (x86 and ARM).
