New Bosendorfer 280VC (Page 1 of 2)

Im eager to try, but it has yet to be released on iPad it seems. I guess it takes longer as it has to be uploaded to the app store somehow.

I was wondering the same thing actually.

But, if I were Yamaha, I would buy modarrt straight up without thinking twice, and put the pianoteq model inside all premium digital pianos going forward. They could even integrate it into the smart pianist app for all existing models if they wanted to later.

Modeling has surpassed sampling in playability by a wide margin and there is just not enough power and space available in digital pianos to run high quality samples that could compete with pianoteq or any other VST for that matter. On top of that, they get basically an infinite amount of voices for next to no footprint and can offer much higher customisation of sounds and effects.

They can still sell Pianoteq as a standalone VST for producers and enthusiasts.

Purchased this morning and played it a bit. I have an acoustic 280VC for reference and comparison, and there were times it truly sounded the same.

Some registries still sound “Pianoteq” but other areas where it was really close to the real thing.

I’m very impressed, given this is a modeled piano, instead of samples.

Hello Gentlemen,
I purchase the Bosendorfer on 6/12/24, the pack is registered in my name however it is only showing up as demo. Please help as soon as possible. Second question how can I upgrade to pianoteq 8.3?

Will Bösendorfer also run under 7.x?

Don't be silly.

8.3 and above.

Silly? Was just asking..

Here is a link to a piece played on a real 280vc which I will dedicate here to the long term future of sampled virtual pianos:

So far, the most beautiful recording I found from Bösendorfer VC280 was this one:

I like how the harp frame's sound appears & feels to came a bit later than the strings sounds, giving a very nice hint in a sense of harmony when single notes are distinct. 
Also this is the warmest VC280 among all videos I saw.
A preset like that could be a very good idea.

Cartoons made this composition famous as the theme for death.

I friendly challenge you, or other member, to turn this sad tuning into a happy jazz.

:-)

I remamber someone who made a new trailer for The Shining, making it feels like a family holiday movie.

Yes, I reported. They simply say that Apple does not support touch screen under MacOS,

We have changed the way the preset menu work so that a simple mouse click on an instrument name selects its default preset instead of opening the sub-menu. It does that only if the user is using a mouse, if he is clicking on a touch screen, pianoteq just opens the submenu. The problem you have is that you are using a touch screen, but pianoteq is not aware of that and thinks you are using a mouse (because of VNC).

So we will need to think about that , we may have to roll back that feature, or at least change it, for cases such as yours.

Does anyone here know if those of us with Studio (which includes all instruments) should receive the Bösendorfer free as part of Studio, or if we are expected to purchase it? It shows up as included with new versions of Studio (on the product page), but I’m not sure it applies to previous purchases. I know I have received new instruments free (such as the guitar), but Pianoteq 8.3 indicates I have to purchase the new one. I don’t mind the $49 (great deal either way), but don’t want to spend $$ unnecessarily.

Playing the Boesendorfer right now as user of the "everything included"-Studio packagke - so the answer is definitely yes.

"In addition to the above, forthcoming instrument packs and upgrades, to be released within one year from the date of registration, will be available for free."

Thank you and Comgratulations to all in the Modartt team! Bösendorfer is fantastic, a success.

I have already made music with four different presets, Warm, Jazz recording, Felt 1 and New Age. Can be listened to on the other side, Recordings featuring Ptq and Orgtq. As with Classical guitar, I will have a thread with "All my Bösendorfer music in one place, growing". For those interested, come to ”the other side” from time to time 
Here an example, the beautiful sound of preset New Age
