Yes, the pianoforte sounds can make some great harpsicord sounds.
Here is a new song using it, as well as quite a few other presets (tweeked like mad, as usual).
With a rhum

Hope you enjoy it ! (rhum is not needed, but can help )

sounds great! Surprising what can come out from tweeking the pianoforte sounds!

Okay, one more before the demo runs out, and just before I really start working like mad, so I'll be back as soon as I have more time.

A pop'ish song with quite a bit of eq and compressors and distortions, but still just the pianoteq as sound source.

Sus sing

Have fun

Ok, two new songs finished while I'm waiting for some bad news that may cost me too much money to buy the full version this month. Hopefully All will go well, but I have my doubts. Anyway, enough of me, here are the song:

Sus pension

Sus hi

Still using only the pianoteq as sound source. Did a bit of glitching in the Sus pension song, and a few light effects on both (reverb, eq, comp, delay)

Hope you enjoy

Matt

We will release the new version, 2.1, soon (I guess in a couple of weeks, not decided yet as it is still under beta testing). The trial version will give you 45 new days for evaluation.

You thoughts makes sense, I must agree now.

What about this? :

Create most of musics with at least one natural piano sound, and other instruments that would also be Pianoteq, but modified to emulate bass, organ etc. Also some few musics with any soun you want or without natural piano if wished.

We could share FXP or try "The best member FXP shot", in case is need a instrument that there is no FXP ready yet.

By that it would be a nice balance beetween the two intentions of the Pianoteq Project. Recreate natural piano behavior sound, and give a vast flexibility to modify the instrument reaching levels as turn into another instrument.

Thank you, mtyas. Pianoteq is a very powerful and peculiar synthesiser whose prime purpose is to accurately emulate the characteristics of a piano. If you limit yourself to the piano part, that's a valid choice.

But it's not the only choice.

As far as I know, there are not yet any masters of pianoteq the synth; but there will be. I don't have the tools at the moment (lack of money) but I want to apply attack and LFO modulation to arbitrary parameters. (This is not a feature request--better leave that sort of stuff to Logic et al.) There's so much to be done with this very interesting and organic synthesiser that I get all excited just thinking about it.

If I follow your sense of thoughts, things like record scratching, guitar amp distortion, circuit bending or any contemporary way of playing musical instruments should not be done because it goes totaly against the 1st purpose of the instrument.
I don't think so.
And if it was the case of this plugin, I don't think they would have given us so many parameters to tweek. This plug in is a synth, so lets use it as a synth.
And from what I recall, the sounds this synth can produce are far off from what we could hear in the 80's. Pianoteq is no DX7, just as the DX7 was no Moog

If you, well intentioned guys, will make music in tribute to pianoteq, let me remamber just one details, friendly speaking.

Pinaoteq it's a project to recreated real piano sounds like never did before.
So the music tribute shoul duse setting that give a natual sound, and not synthesize sound.

Synthesize setting choices would sounds more like a tribute to the 80's than a tribute to pianoteq itself.

I'm still working on more, but I must admit that time is not on my side, as the summer season starts, so does all the animations in my town, and as it's my job that all goes well, I'm doing days of 18 hours, and my ears get a bit too tired, so the next ones will come a bit later.
Lets say that hopefully at the end of this summer, I'll have about 12 songs finished. That seems a good plan.
Now I just have to see if my banker will let me buy this beauty in the next few days to get the missing notes. (And my girlfriend keeps on saying, mend those flipping notes, so she won't be a obstacle )

Thanks Matt for your audio demos, they are really nice. We would love to hear more. By the way, we find your ideas of a 'Pianoteq tribute album' very pleasant and interesting indeed.

Re: Tribute to Pianoteq album

null@example.com (mtyas) — Fri, 15 Jun 2007 18:40:22 +0000

Just did an extra song, using only the pianoteq, as usual, but also a rotary emulation, a few compressors, a delay and some reverb (and usual eq's and limiter).

Hope you enjoy it:

Sus Picious

(I know, silly name scheme, can't help doing such silly things)
