Brings my piano alive

The first time I used Pianoteq I was discombobulated. Confused, disorientated, surprised - but in a completely blissful manner. Like my first orgasm. Pianoteq is a mesmerising achievement. It transforms the dynamics, timbre and texture of my much-loved Yamaha P-515.

My favorite modeling app

I don’t have room for a grand piano or harpsichord— but I can have several, on my phone! Amazing. Excellent sound (minus the haptics of a real piano or harpsichord). Plus you get randomization and the ability to create instrumental sounds that would cost a fortune to build (even for just one). This is one fine piece of software and, yeah, it is pricey. But I don’t regret a single penny spent. Kudos, Midartt!

Impeccable

PT is the most musical, versatile, and magical software instrument I own. Yes, it’s an excellent daily-driver piano. But its ability to create natural, expressive, yet completely NEW instruments is unparalleled.
