Anther important feature of PianoTeq "Standard" is the ability to use different Tuning Systems. Essential if you want to enjoy the historic instruments included.

Nice, thanks for the feedback!

Well, that depended if my planning was adequate or not If that is fine, I guess I can go for the $250 version. Is there a big difference compared to the $100 version? I think the only useful feature for me would be the positioning of mics, but I am not sure...

Pretty good planning ... but you did not mention (as in, "already bought") what level Pianoteq you are getting -

Hi everyone,

I am a professionally trained classical pianist about to start with Pianoteq. I have just moved to a new country and I need to buy everything from scratch. I think I have planned my set-up correctly to have a smooth experience with pianoteq, could you please indicate me if the set-up below is OK? My budget is about 1000-1500 USD.

1. MIDI controller: Roland A-88 (I tried many Roland and Yamaha at a local store and I was happily surprised by the key action in this one). 780 USD

(pair of MIDI cables)

2. External audio device: Zoom UAC-2 USB 3.0. 230 USD

(USB cable)

3. Laptop computer (already bought). Nice i7-7600U at 2.9 GHz, 16 GB of RAM, Windows 10 64 bits.

4. Nice headphones (already bought), Beyerdynamic DT-770 PRO 80 ohm.

I am thinking about using this for studying and recording some pieces, but as I said, I am not sure if the set-up is correct. Also, is it ok to use the same USB cable for data input and output simultaneously? (from Zoom to PC to run pianoteq and back to Zoom to produce the sound). Should I expect a high latency?

Thank you very much and sorry if the question is too obvious
