Hi.

The recent updates 9.1.1 (and later 9.1.2) seem to have been releases without too much attention. However, I updated the other day and for me it seems like a quite significant update. According to the changeling the most important updates is some revoicings and an update to the Steinway B warm preset and I must say that the later seems to be quite good. I haven't been that active with Pianoteq lately but after the update I sat down and played the Steinway B warm preset and I felt very good. It feels lively and the bass has this very authentic inharmonicy of a smaller grand. The treble is also easier to the ears with headphones which has always been a bit of a hassle for me in Pianoteq. It just feels and sound much better than I remember it to be before the update and has now been my go-to preset for practicing the last week. Does anyone else feel that the 9.1.1 brings a significant positive change to the Steinway B or am I just experience a placebo effect?

I like the B now so perhaps it is improved (unless now I have placebo effect)

Thanks for confirming. That’s it, like you I just like it more. I can’t really say what’s different but there is a sense of realism in the Steinway B warm preset that hasn’t been there before. I’ve used it pretty much exclusively as my go to digital piano for practicing for about a month now and it feels great.

Unrelated to the B but try the NY D Jazz preset now, I'm finding it to be one of the more realistic. I never liked the Steinways before but got them since I felt Modartt would be regularly updating them.
