Good luck,

When I think about pianoteq i think about brittle melancholy or strong determination and the piano is to me what it is. Call it lazy, but that's why I didn't choose to experiment with all the settings to create a pianoteq sonic mayhem, but I choose for an intimate piece.

It's created using cubase and I'm definitely going to build a movie esque sound around it with other plugins, but for this edition, I just exported to midi: made an fxp and exported to wave with pianoteq: using high quality. So: what you hear is what you get from pianoteq 2.1 trial version.

thank you.

This is the first time I post in this forum and, I must say, I'm really amazed with the capabilities of Pianoteq, regarding sound, performance and realism. It accomplishes so much! So I tried to trial version and decided to enter this contest. My piece is called 'Destination' and it was like an inspiration of the moment while I was traveling on a train. I was kinda introspective and, suddenly, this flowing music started sounding in my head. And there it was...destination.

I made the upload of the .mid and .fxp files for it. As for the .mp3 I must say that this piece is very, very modulating. Even tried to transpose it several times, but the missing notes were just to noticeable. So I decided to work the .fxp file around and let you record the piece with your marvelous complete Pianoteq version. Hope this will do the trick!

Good luck for everybody!

Regards.

I made a few "detours" around the missing notes on the trial, but it wasn't crucial.
Thanks for the contest - it helped me improve the piece, and inspires even if one doesn't win. Good luck to you all!

Aurora
(means sun rise)

structure:
intro ; A ; A ; -> ; B ; B> ; A ; -> ; B ; B ; evolutions ; coda

(A) the sun rises supremely,
then (B) the point of view move to the nature that revives again, (a more fast and simple catchy tune).

preset Grand C2 concert  is good.
please render (and add) mp3 for 'missing-notes'.

thanks for the opportunity.

I uploaded my .mp3 rendering anyway, so feel free to replace it with the "real" one later on.

Cheers Matt

Here is my entry for the contest. It's called 'Lunaestis' and it is a very intimate piece for piano solo, in a suite-like style, with several melodical/harmonical themes interconnected. I wrote it a few years ago (the old fashioned way: piano, pencil and paper), in dedication to a special person (won't go into details here...). Now I got the chance to bring it to life with Pianoteq!
I spent the last weeks arranging for the midi file and the last few days tweaking the stand-alone of the trial version, to get the right feeling into it. The recording was made using a SB Live! External 24bit USB soundcard connected to a laptop. No external effect/equalization was added during recording (as required), only pianoteq's internal EQ, VEL curves and reverberation settings to make it sound good (as you may see with the '.fxp' file).
There are a few notes missing here and there in the recording, which don't affect the overall sense of the piece. But if the Pianoteq team would like, I would really appreciate if you could re-record it with the full-note range. I've added the .mp3, .mid and .fxp files, so I think that covers all needs for the contest.

Finally, I would like to wish the best of lucks for all other competitors. I think you all have done a great job with your pieces!

Best regards

I wrote a piece called "The Wings of Passion" in a Rachmaninov-influenced romantic style that pushes your incredible plugin to the limits, displaying everything from string-busting fortissimo outbursts to gentle pianissimo lines but with nonstop concert virtuosity.

No effects used, only the default preset Grand C2 Concert.
One note though: The volume was lowered to -4.1 dB on the Pianoteq's dynamic panel to prevent clipping.

I uploaded the Cubase (SL) .cpr file and MIDI file.

I'm not sure if you want my rendition of .mp3 since I used a free pitchshifter plugin to compensate for missing notes (clever huh ) ... the "missing" notes are distorted and might give someone the wrong impression. If you could do the rendering I'd be grateful.

...with energy xt 2

there are some other advace ways to record midi.
the more simple is use another sequencer vst compatible, load the vst version of energy xt , open your project, in Comps add MIDI OUT and connect it to sequencer, now the sequencer shold be listen your midi data.
for a project with only 1 track, i think there aren't problem of channel, eccetera...

there are many freeware sequencer... just find the better.. (but I don't already find it :-(  )

good idea I upload the midi file today. Your idea works fine with reaper , thanks !
