I asked a similar question awhile back, as I use Pianoteq in standalone mode. I received some very useful replies. I wound up downloading the Samplicity Bricasti M7 impulse reverb files - for free! They can then be loaded into PTQ. In the reverb section of the effects menu, the list of available reverbs includes an option to "use WAV impulse", which you can then browse to the impulse reverb file of your choice.
Here's where you can download the files I got:

In my opinion these Britcasti M7 IRs are probably the best Ive heard out there for free IR files, thanks for the recommendation.

So we are saying you use Pianoteq as an instrument in a DAW, then with the FX described. I have Cubase, so I can try that.But... I use Pianoteq in Dorico and I do use some EQ and reverb there. I had the incorrect impression that people were implying you could somehow plug an external unit into Pianoteq itself and it could use that.
No it can't

How do you use an external reverb with Pianoteq?
as Dikrek replied you can add an FX reverb VST3 or AU (if Mac) in a DAW or a VST Host.
If you use this method, it is recommended to also add an external EQ as the last correction effect. This is best mixing practice
so the chain would like Pianoteq +EQ pre model + rendering with pianoteq model + EQ3 corrective prior reverb effect + Magic 7 as an FX effect + final external FX EQ to adjust final sound before output . In the above thread @Lemuel uses Fab Filter EQ as the last effect in the chain which is quite good .
Other solution is to use the same bricasti M7 IR files (free as well in samplicity ) instead of magic 7 , loaded directly in pianoteq internal convolution engine and use the pianoteq EQ3 which is now a 5 band parametric EQ applied as the last effect . For live playing , I find this setup very responsive compared to the above solution . Ideally make sure you choose bricasti wav files with the sample rate being equal to the sample rate of your audio set up . Bricasti files are available in 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz . This avoids unneccessary conversion of sample rates when different and saves CPU time.
