Pianoteq 9 vs Timing

PIANOTEQ 9: 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: - Natural Playability: Physical modeling captures many of the subtle interactions and dynamic nuances found in acoustic instruments, providing a responsive playing experience. - Compact Size: Without relying on large sample libraries, Pianoteq requires only a fraction of the storage space of many virtual instruments, making it ideal for iPhone and iPad. Trusted by the Best: Steinway, Kawai, Bösendorfer, 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). Already own Pianoteq 8?

A metronome gives you the beat. Timing shows you where you land. Timing helps musicians turn metronome practice into measurable feedback. Play your instrument along with the click: Timing listens through your device’s microphone, detects note attacks and shows their timing relative to the beat. Are you playing ahead? Falling behind? How consistent are your attacks? Timing makes it visible. PRACTICE WITH YOUR INSTRUMENT Work on your timing while playing, not just tapping a screen. Adjust microphone sensitivity to suit your environment. No instrument at hand? Switch to Tap mode and practice directly on your device. EXPLORE EVERY HIT Review each detected attack and its timing offset in milliseconds. Pinch to zoom and scroll through the report graph to examine your performance in detail. CHALLENGE YOURSELF Try ready-made rhythm challenges or create your own. Choose the number of bars, rhythmic subdivision and timing tolerance, then edit your custom challenges as your practice needs change. PLAY FREELY Free mode lets you practice without automatic scoring. Explore your timing and assess your performance for yourself. BUILD RHYTHMIC CONTROL Practice quarter notes, eighth notes, triplets and sixteenth notes at your chosen tempo, including triplets and multiple sixteenth-note patterns within the same session. FEATURES • Microphone and Tap input modes • Adjustable microphone sensitivity • Timing offsets displayed in milliseconds • Detailed reports with a zoomable, scrollable graph • Ready-made and editable custom challenges • Free mode without automatic scoring • Adjustable tempo and timing tolerance • In-app tutorials • English and Italian interface Practice using your device’s built-in speaker or wired headphones. Headphones are optional. Bluetooth audio is not recommended, as its latency can affect timing accuracy. Hear the beat. Play the note. See the difference.
