1. Pianoteq video contest entry 2024
by hoflint / Bálint Hofgard
400 € value coupon
"Hi everyone, I was preparing for a movie theme concert when I came across this contest and thought I could post something here. I almost exclusively use Pianoteq for that and find it such a playable and nuanced instrument. With a good controller you have absolute command over the quietest pianissimos and the richest fortissimos, it just blows my mind. So here is my take, it is still a work in progress, I hope you can forgive my occasional clumsiness."

3. Piano Piece
by Marc Boulé
200 € value coupon
"Another hybridization project between VCV Rack and Pianoteq, mixing ostinatos and delays over a subtle canvas of shimmer reverb and choir. This is a piece I recorded while developing the NoteEcho module, which is coded in C++ for the VCV Rack platform. The motivation behind the module (and the piece itself), was that the usual delay effect is typically audio-based, and I wanted a modular delay effect that would instead delay the actual midi notes that go to Pianoteq, which then allows separate modulations to be applied to the notes (namely: pitch offset, velocity and probability). A Valhalla ping-pong audio delay is also used for an added torrent of notes! Using the condition slider and the celeste pedal on the U4 really helped to get the vibe needed for the piece. As a side note, in the initial midi recording of the piece I was not using the sustain pedal (virtual brick on the pedal), and after watching the polyphony go above 150 or so during editing, I went back and automated the sustain for the final rendering :-)"
