Fine examples DEZ - really show some good ways to involve the feature, and why to do so!
@Mauricio.. being a new feature, it's probably possible to use it in ways nobody has tried yet.. but perhaps mostly, via a side-chain or as a soft synth insert.
My guess is that since it's not a surface visible feature for standalone mode, those of us who use these kinds of features in a DAW will probably keep experimenting and talking about results, techniques etc. over time. Eventually, several 'best ways' and maybe even good DAWs to recommend will come from that.. but time will tell.
Perhaps in the near future, some idea of 'how/why people use this' will become more apparent, and the feature may evolve beyond how it is now, to include maybe some more visible controls for doing things in various DAWs, and maybe some really more detailed info in the manual etc.. early days for this feature I'd say.
To do this in Ableton though.. still have not tried (like I say, mine is some years old and on another machine I no longer use). Will try installing on new machine when I can.. but can't say when - hopefully tonight.
It's possibly doable in some ways.. but if you are new to DAWs - I'd honestly suggest keeping Ableton, but with a view to return to it when you feel like it ( loved it but is has a mix of it's own ways to do things, and endless options, which I felt kept interfering with my workflow.. a great great DAW but often it demanded me to work it's way, rather than a better way for what I do.. but others love it's workflow - but it's not a DAW I'd recommend for 1st time users of DAWs to be clear.. similarly wouldn't recommend Pro Tools first.. when it comes down to it, Cakewalk will be probably my ideal 1st DAW recommendation because it includes much of 'old-school' workflows, along with ease of use.. then once you get to know more about how you want to work, you can later more easily discover DAW X or Y will suit you better.. or a combination etc.)..
but for early days, you could probably learn some use cases easier with others.. like I'd suggest to try Cakewalk, Reaper or Cubase like DEZ's examples used.
I definitely know that in good ol' Cakewalk (free) it's extremely simple and I'd recommend to use this feature like this:
On any track (like a flute part like the ones DEZ provided for examples above), right-click the area where you add 'inserts', then select, insert 'soft synth'.. then select Pianoteq 8. Was surprised it was so clean/simple and easy this way.. no need for routings/side-chain logic flow.
I could only wish it worked that simply in all DAWs. Kind of frustrated that some DAWs just cannot facilitate all the various options.. but it's life
What you see at that point, is Pianoteq open in front of us - and editable of course to alter sounds.. main thing to do is move the Pianoteq 'wet/dry' slider so you can work on its tones. You can choose more 'wooden' or 'string' resonances with the accompanying balance slider.
What we hear, is Pianoteq's internal resonances being excited by the audio being fed through it. (for a solid mental image, maybe imagine a transducer attached to the piano's soundboard and harp, thumping audio signal into those parts.. but with the super-power of cutting all source volume, leaving only what the piano sounds like.. and that's editable into the realms of the fantastic.).
Using a DAW, it's possible to 'mix down' what we hear to new audio tracks.. and everything about that is absolutely to our own tastes and liking - and IMHO you can only learn best by doing this.
But, sorry I don't have current Ableton on the machine with Pianoteq (it's my production machine with 2 DAWs I use most, Studio One and Cakewalk). If time permits soon, I'll go install Ableton on the new machine too.. but some things are falling behind me with some busy times occurring.
