Topic: Pianoteq featured on new MIDI Guitarist YouTube channel

Having luckily discovered Pianoteq in 2017 and having been awarded the first prize in the video competition in 2019, I decided to start a YouTube channel for MIDI Guitarists and in the first video „6 iconic piano parts played live on a MIDI guitar“ I have programmed 6 piano sounds from iconic tunes with Pianoteq 8 inside of Gig Performer 4.
There I used channel strips, tape emulation, reverbs, delays etc. to emulate the original recording. I hope  you will like it ;-).

Nice.
It would be also interesting in hearing musically and in words the new Pianoteq guitar model from you

Thanks - glad you liked it.
The classical guitar model is without doubt a huge achievement by modartt and I really appreciate the „special features“ like muted strings and pinched harmonics as flavours to add to my guitar sound. Being  a classically trained guitarist, I still prefer the (recorded) sound of my own nylonstring guitar, but I might come up with a video highlighting the creative sounddesign potential that I see in this model, when you start to blend it with other sounds.

That was amazing...
Who said a guitarist cannot play piano?

Now with IOS version it's easier for midi guitarist to perform live running pianoteq.

By the way, Mr Cameron, you could perform great piano music for your next Avatar film.

;-)

Thanks a lot - I am glad you liked it.
I guess it is possible for a guitarist to play piano on his instrument, but it is extremely hard to learn and do. These six tunes were as hard to practice as a Bach lute suite....

The iOS version is really brilliant, but I need Gig Performer for my sounds, so I‘ll stick to my computer live setup.

Do I really look like Mr. Cameron? ;-)

Re: Pianoteq featured on new MIDI Guitarist YouTube channel

I uploaded a new video featuring Pianoteq (Grotrian) where I play the first prelude of Bachs well-tempered clavier on my Frameworks MIDI guitar:

https://youtu.be/snCRmI51nqo

This piece is not playable on a normal classical guitar without lots of unwanted alterations in voice leading  because of the note range and the sustained bass notes - so I am very happy to be able to finally play it on guitar :-).
