Description

PIANOTEQ: THE ULTIMATE VIRTUAL INSTRUMENT

Pianoteq is an award-winning virtual instrument that simulates a wide range of instruments including pianos, electric pianos, harpsichords, vibraphones, guitars, steel drums, and more, using advanced physical modeling. Unlike traditional virtual instruments that use recorded sounds, Pianoteq generates sounds in real-time by calculating the physics of how strings vibrate and how the soundboard radiates sound.


Why Pianoteq Stands Out:

- Realistic Playability: By modeling the physical properties of instruments, Pianoteq replicates the playability and complex behavior of real acoustic instruments.
- Compact Size: Without large samples, Pianoteq's file size is much smaller than other virtual instruments, making it ideal for your iOS device.


Trusted by the Best:

Steinway, Bösendorfer, C. Bechstein, Petrof, Steingraeber, Grotrian, Blüthner, and Hohner have all endorsed Pianoteq for its faithful sound reproduction.


Getting Started:

- Connect a MIDI device to your iPad/iPhone.
- Launch Pianoteq.
- Start playing!

Pianoteq also works as a plugin in any Audio Unit host application, such as GarageBand, AUM, Cubasis, Camelot, and more.

Note: All instruments run in demo mode (with some keys disabled) until you purchase a Pianoteq STAGE license (unlocks two instruments) or link to an existing Pianoteq user account with a valid license. Licenses purchased on the App Store are valid across other supported platforms (macOS, Windows, Linux).

Breathe life into old pianos.

MrW124 on

This is a fantastic app, particularly in the upgraded versions. Initially I felt the sound was somewhat strange but given time and a few tweaks and the sound is great and the playability means I rarely use the onboard sounds on my clavinova clp 635. I also have the electric piano pack, absolutely fantastic for those 70’s bangers!

Fantastic but grossly overpriced for average IPad user

Mogpot on

Fantastic quality and sad that I personally can’t justify the cost. I will never move to Logic Pro on desktop where apps like this are crazily overpriced. Thousands of iPad users will be priced out of this great product. Back to Ravenscroft. Sad.

Woah!

It’s the full thing, even with PTQ files and all 🤯 Absolutely love it, so great to finally have this in a super portable format ❤️

as a person who sometimes plays through a tablet, it would be much more convenient if you made it possible to add second row of the keyboard, and the ability to increase/decrease number of visible keys. I think it's too brazen of me to ask you to do this🫤

Nice surprise

Slowcatty on

Just as good as the desktop version, which is probably my most used piano atm. So it was a nice surprise to discover it was free to transfer one of my three activation slots over to the iPad. Also, worth thinking about - Ravenscroft is 861mb, Pure Piano 1gb, and Pianoteq just 53mb and not resource hungry… and that 53mb includes all instruments.

I gather this …

… app is ok if you already have the desktop version modules/licences already costing many £100’s … which doesn’t apply to me, never has, probably never will. I’ve never used a pc for any musical reasons. IMHO desktop businesses should stay in their lane & not sully the lane of iOS …

If you are a pianoteq user

If you already own the AU or VST you can use all your purchases. Lovely sound.

Excellent

Scotty Del on

Very good! Love that I can use my desktop licence too! Brilliant stuff. Works great.

Not for dabblers, or limited budgets

TheWightGuy on

Very nice sounds at very high prices, by IOS standards. I’m not a ‘professional’ musician, I’m a veteran dabbler. I’ve bought hundreds of IOS apps/ IAPs, some relatively expensive. Spending thousands of pounds over a number of years. I understand that nice quality means spending more. This is why I bought several of the SWAM instruments, and others. So finding that before I could use ANY Pianoteq instrument in full, I would first have to buy a license costing £119, was disappointing. Then discovering that individual instruments are all just short of £50 each did not help. The one really good thing is that what is available in a slightly crippled fashion can still be useful without parting with a penny.
