You're preaching to the choir. It was more directed toward other comments of how fake it is to them and that only samples could be "raw". Perhaps "organic" is a better term? Pianoteq responds better than any samples I've used or own. Especially in those pianissimo ranges. Sometimes I wonder why certain sample libraries just don't call themselves "forte-fortissimo" since their velocity range has that steep drop off filled with holes depending on an interpolation that doesn't ever fill them properly.Looks like I missed this comment. Was that in response to me?"Raw piano" is the most laughable and pointless thing I've heard today (so far).
Maybe all you need is the Spectrasonics Burning Piano.
What makes an instrument an instrument has more factors than the narrow aspects some try to place it in.
No other plugin has been as expressive and accurate across the range of more aspects as Pianoteq has been for me. Could it be improved? Sure. And every major version upgrade has been for me.
What I meant is that Pianoteq generates the raw, living sound of a piano from pure physics, just as nature does. That piano model can be altered and it will respond to those physical changes the same as a physical piano would. That piano can be placed within near infinite physically modeled spaces with near infinite physically modeled mic placement combinations. So Pianoteq is not merely one finite set of notes on one piano in one room with one set of mics. Pianoteq is effectively every possible note on an infinite number of pianos in an infinite number of spaces with an infinite variation of miking. And the reason is because it starts with a raw, unadorned physical model as its foundation, which lets you decide where you take it from there.
Pianoteq is the only piano VST that could be a Bösendorfer in a dive bar, or an out-of-tune honkeytonk in a grand hall, or even a burning piano. Because it generates live sound from raw physics, you are not limited to someone else's notes on someone else's piano, in someone else's room. I thought that was understood from my post, but perhaps not by all.
