Re: is any artist or band using pianoteq on stage?
YES! And judging from other people's posts here, I'm not the only one
In my case, it's a jazz/fusion/funk band and I'm not sure whether the difference in sound translates through the PA to the audience. However, Pianoteq allows me to play more subtle and with more feeling and I guess that's something the audience can definitely perceive (apart from that it makes the music better and increases my own 'playing pleasure' ).
It would be interesting to hear experiences from other people who use Pianoteq live!
Do you use any specific tricks, tweaking etc. to make your presets suit a live environment (i.e. horrible PAs...)?
greets,
Wolfgang

In particular, scroll down to Mike Barson (from the band "Madness"). I asked about this in another thread, and it really is Pianoteq in the video clip, albeit Pianoteq 2. Sounds great to me.

I use it along with VGP 2 as PTeqPro 3 had sostenuto, and I can have a nice Upright sound from detuning in the upper ranges, and straight sounds in the BassClef.
It's become a really great sounding choice and the Wurlitzer sounds are really nice too.

Andy Tillison of The Tangent (http://www.thetangent.org/) uses a lot of virtual instruments hosted on a PC, including "grand pianos by Modartt" i.e. Pianoteq. (from the technical subtitles in "Going Off On Two" DVD).

I use it for the piano and the harpsichord sounds alongside my Alesis Fusion for other sounds (organ, strings and all)
