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.

Excellent piano app

Pianoteq is a very serious piano app and is a game changer. Models instead of samples ensures smaller app size. Same app works on desktop, iPhone, & iPad.

I used their Steingraeber and Bosendorfer models in live performances every week. No issues with the standalone app or the plugin to DAWs or Host apps on all platforms.

The interface is simple, sounds fantastic, velocity curve is customizable to your midi controller. Midi recorder & chord naming features are great bonuses.

The Modarrt Team are excellent developers and listen to & interact with their customer base. It has been worth the investment.

O aplicativo é muito bom, tem timbres excelentes, mas a esse deixa que impossibilita o uso dele
