Pianoteq already has a fullscreen option -- see "Toggle fullscreen mode" under the Window menu. I use it all the time and I'm very happy with it even though it does have black bars on the side (not a big deal). The keyboard shortcuts are also stellar.

Hey, I'm discovering this Full Screen mode ! I had never seen this feature before !
How could I live without it ! It changed my life ! Thanks Navindra !

Yes, I know the full screen option but it is not really "full screen". A very large part of the screen is not used.
This free place should be used for icons of favorites instruments for exemple. And as I said before a big picture of the instrument your are playing when you want just to play would be nice. I think the interface of pianoteq is the only tiny little flaw of the software.

True, the real estate could be better used in full screen. It also sounds like you want a separate "screensaver" mode.

Personally I'd be interested in Pianoteq-in-a-box, where Pianoteq would be in headless mode but controlled via physical knobs. Pianoteq already supports configuring various settings via MIDI and runs on ARM, so I guess it might be doable to an extent.

Alternately, Pianoteq on iPad would be good too.

Suggestion for version 7.
Why not a real "full screen" for the standalone.

You probably already know this, but in case you don't...

Under Options > General, you can adjust the interface magnification by as much as a giant 250% which would probably be too big for most screens. I have mine set to "large (150%)" which is a nice interface size for my displays.

I know these are details for a so perfect software...

Philippe Guillaume... si vous me lisez... merci...

Upgrade refers to full versioning, whereas updates are the free increments

Let's say you buy ver 6, but then if ver. 7 comes out within the following year, the "upgrade" will be free.

Any of the Version.X.X "updates" are free immediately and beyond 1 year. No more to pay for those.

...we may be seeing Pianoteq 7 in the next year and I think we’d get a free upgrade to that if it occurred within a year of activation.

Is that correct? I've seen the year thing on the site somewhere, but is that just for all the 6.x.x updates free for a year?

I'm confused. If you bought Pianoteq 6.0 three years ago, shouldn't everyone here be on 6.7.3 for free?

If you like electric pianos, go for those. They’re magnificent. Otherwise, I would suggest the Steingraeber, Grotrian and Ant. Petrof, in that order, although the latter two may be switched according to taste.

I want them all!!

I know the feeling

The upgrade from Stage to Standard is a no brainer for me. An extra instrument pack included as well as the capability to load FXPs. Plus, we may be seeing Pianoteq 7 in the next year and I think we’d get a free upgrade to that if it occurred within a year of activation. Correct me if I'm wrong about that. The longest time between version releases in the past has been a little over 3 years and we're approaching that now. Now to decide which instrument pack to get...

I'm going to be doing a lot of playing to figure it out. Considering the Celesta, K2 since a lot of FXPs use it to emulate other pianos, and Steingraber.

That K2 is pretty great indeed.
