]]>Thank you. That's very interesting. I spent some time thinking you can't patent software or algorithms (as far as I know, still), but the patent gets around that by presenting a 'device'.
The latest paper on the subject is from late 2018 ; the document explains how Pianoteq uses modal synthesis starting from paragraph 4.2

Philippe Guillaume patent 2007 :

And a thesis of Juliette Chabassier on piano modelling 2012 :

Nothing super unique in the general approach, so the secret sauce probably lies in the excellence of execution: which inharmonic frequencies to excite when, what to allow to crossbleed, etc. For example v9 seems to have tuned the waveguide mesh to new heights
]]>I saw a video where they go to a factory like Kawai and record lots of samples, just as a sampling VST make would do. How do they get to the modelled VST from the sample set?
My background is in mathematics so I was delighted to see Pianoteq came from a maths department in France.
