In conjunction with these reverbs, the new D4 offers a sound quality that is comparable to a real recording of an acoustic piano with the best audio equipment. It includes other types of reverbs as for example Plate, Spring, Broceliande… You can also load reverb impulses to set your own environment. Moreover, each note has been carefully adjusted in its finest detail, just like in a real factory.Ī new and exciting convolution reverb unit simulates acoustic surroundings ranging from Studio up to very long reverbs like Cathedral and Taj Mahal. The secret of its sound quality lies in the refinement of the soundboard model and its acoustic radiation field computed via a structural analysis model coupled to integral equations. Its main characteristics have been used for feeding the physical model from which the new grand piano D4 is born.

A grand piano Steinway D from Hamburg has served as reference. Built-in graphic velocity curve with keyboard presets.From Pianoteq 3 to 4, three years of research were necessary to refine the physical model that describes the hammers, the strings, the soundboard and their interaction. Built-in graphic equalizer with freely adjustable key points. Adjustable optional samples of acoustic noises (pedal and key release). It can be used successfully with a laptop (low hardware requirements). Sostenuto pedal, harmonic pedal and Una Corda (soft) pedal. Progressive sustain pedal, allowing partial-pedal effects. Adjustable spectrum profile, based on the first 8 overtones. Adjustable piano size (soundboard) and other similar parameters. Adjustable unison width (tuning) and other similar parameters. Adjustable hammer hardness (voicing) and other similar parameters. Real progressive variation of the timbre (127 velocities per note). No quantization noise (32-bit internal sampling at 48 KHz). It includes the entire complexity of a real piano (hammers, strings, duplex scale, pedals, cabinet). The piano sound is constructed in real time, responding to how the pianist strikes the keys and interacts with the pedals. It is in fact the first virtual piano factory - it can produce new brands as well as copies of historical instruments. Pianoteq is the first and only piano belonging to the fourth generation, developed in order to go beyond the limitations of the third generation and to become a versatile and innovating tool. It was followed in the 20th century by the second generation electro-acoustic pianos and the third generation sampled pianos where each note is a recording of how it sounded during a specific moment in time, not taking into account the complexity of the instrument. The first generation of pianos began with Cristofori's pianoforte in 1698 which came to maturity at the end of the 19th century with the acoustic grand pianos. Second generation: electro acoustic piano (1929) This is the very first, and only, piano available that belongs to this generation. Pianoteq is the result of an academic research and results in what we call the fourth piano generation.
