Conception of the physical model is from Philippe GUILLAUME, piano tuner, musician, and mathematician whose “Grail” is finding the equations for the “piano soul.” Implementation is from Julien POMMIER, engineer and mathematician, who implemented the physical model to work in real time. Two specialists from this laboratory have been working hard to create this beautiful instrument.

It has been developed in the prestigious Institute of Mathematics of Toulouse, at the Institut National des Sciences Appliquées in Toulouse, France.

This explains why the sound is alive, not static: it is not a simple recording, it is a genuine instrument that responds to the pianist’s finest interpretation. Notes are really played (“constructed” in real-time, as on a real piano), not just read from the disk or the memory.

It is the first of a new generation of pianos, issued from an outstanding breakthrough technology based on physical modelling.

Visit our website and discover our latest creations. Other instruments of the idiophones family are regularly added to the Pianoteq collection. Pianoteq is in fact the first virtual piano factory: it can produce new brands as well as copies of existing instruments, from historical instruments such as harpsichords and pianofortes to contemporary grand pianos or the more recent electro-acoustic pianos. Pianoteq is both away to emulate existing pianos and an innovative tool for music creation. Based on an effective physical model, Pianoteq allows you to adjust and stretch parameters, resulting in new sounds and performance styles. The second generation brought innovative sounds (such as the Fender Rhodes, Wurlitzer, Yamaha CP 80, and others), whereas the third generation only reproduced recorded samples. True dynamic timbre results, from the faintest pianissimo to the strongest fortissimo, for all 127 standard MIDI velocities (and even more with high resolution MIDI).Įverything that characterizes a real piano is there: the mechanical noises, the complex sound of pedals and strings in interaction, the percussive impact on staccato play (short notes), and of course, most importantly, the beauty of the piano sound.

Using 32-bit internal computation, the calculated piano sound is free from quantization noise. Unique parameters that model the behaviour of real pianos result in great realism, until now only to be experienced on real acoustic pianos. With Pianoteq, you can adapt the piano sound to your own taste. It offers extraordinary playability and unique physical parameters that model the behaviour of real acoustic pianos. Pianoteq introduces the fourth generation of pianos, based on physical modelling. It was followed in the XX century by electro-acoustic pianos, and then by digital sampled pianos.

The first generation of pianos, starting in 1698 with Cristofori’s pianoforte, came to maturity at the end of the XIX century with the acoustic grand concert piano.
