So there is a true harp now, beautiful and very realist.
Understanding pianoteq not just as a great digital instrument to recreate realitic soubnd of instruments as well as possible, but also as a incredible flexible syntesezer able to reach countless combinations of adjustments, is that possible to virtually connect this harp to a virtual piano soundboard?
I understand pianoteq engine have virtual modules for string, hammers, soundboard, lid, and the main body.
A second insane idea: Hability to use the piano models itself like plucking the strings. Just like removing the hammers and the strings behave like was being plucked.
I warned it was insane...
I'd love to see this. This sort of idea seems to be where physical modeling of instruments has the most potential. You take a very realistic, dynamic model of a fine instrument, and then give the ability to manipulate it in endless ways which would be very impractical (if not impossible) to achieve in the physical world. The result being a huge array of completely new instruments, which unlike so many synthesizers, have extremely organic musical qualities -- so satisfying to play.
It's also handy to have a realistic and responsive artificial piano, or harp, or xylophone. But for a serious recording I'm going to simply use the real thing. However, if I wish to take a fortepiano, greatly increase its sustain, adjust the overtones of its upper range, give it a wider dynamic range with a larger sonic variety from ppp to fff... to do all this I need Pianoteq. Yes, the potential is enormous.
