Topic: Subject: Happy 20th Anniversary, Modartt!

Hi everyone,

Just wanted to drop a quick note to wish the Modartt team a massive happy 20th anniversary!

It’s incredible to see how far Pianoteq has come over the last two decades.
Also, a huge compliment for the fun little 20-year easter egg with the confetti
and party streamers popping up when moving the mouse cursor over the logo—it's a brilliant touch!

Thank you for 20 years of amazing physical modeling, incredible instruments, and continuous innovation.
Here’s to many more years of great music!

Cheers,
Pianoteq Fan

Happy 20th Anniversary!

When I launched Pianoteq today like I usually do, I noticed the easter egg. It made me so happy that I came to the forum to see if anyone had posted about it. Is today the actual anniversary?

Huge congratulations! I want to express my heartfelt gratitude and respect for the existence of this product.

The easter egg was a nice prompt (and touch) which brought me here today (not that I need an excuse as I often dip into the forum to check any new posts).

Happy Anniversary to the Modartt team - here is to the next 20 plus years!

Celebratory ”Fanfare Music” for Modartt 20th Anniversary

A piece I recorded a few years ago using Organteq 1, it captures a festive atmosphere — like a celebratory fanfare music — for a truly special occasion.
I have been waiting with this music for an opportunity like that, special occasion, and now the festive occasion is here: Modartt 20th Anniversary.


https://forum.modartt.com/uploads.php?f...ersary.mp3


Happy 20th anniversary, and thank you for your outstanding work and dedication over the past two decades.

Stig

(The music is a short version of Prelude in D, Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach, the fifth child and second surviving son of J.S. and Maria Barbara Bach).


I don't understand why last seconds are missing.... In my computer is the whole section....

Happy 20th anniversary to the team.  Your work on developing the sound and creating such a selection of instruments over the years is remarkable. Equally your response to queries in the forum and directly from customers is exemplary. I have enjoyed many, many hours of pleasure playing, and tweaking the sound to my taste and for the equipment and rooms I use. Many, many thanks.

Re: Subject: Happy 20th Anniversary, Modartt!

A very, very happy twentieth anniversary to all the Modartt team and to all the Modartt Pianoteq and Organteq family. I'm sure I speak for all of us when I say, Modartt is an exceptionally kind and gifted company. What a gift to the world of music makers and performers. Thank you so much for your contribution to us piano players, organ players, harp players, xylophone players, harpsichord players... We are so grateful and appreciate all the years of hard work you've put into making Pianoteq and Organteq the very best of modelled instruments.

Every blessing and many more years,

Warmest regards,

Chris

Happy 20th anniversary! Unfortunately, it’s a bit disappointing that having an OrganTEQ license doesn’t make you eligible to enter the T-shirt giveaway.

@Klangpost and Markonian

I can agree but it might be because it’s now mostly, for the most part, about Pianoteq.

”On August 26th, 2006, we released our first product, Pianoteq.”

Best wishes,

Stig

I discovered Pianoteq software at Version 5. I loved it then, and I've appreciated it even more with every step in its remarkable development over the years. What a gifted, dedicated, responsive and absolutely wonderful team: you deserve laurels and medals. Congratulations on your 20th Anniversary!

Happy Anniversary. I can't believe it's 20 years. I came in at version two. It was competing with Ivory and East West Pianos. The technology had to succeed; it seemed a no-brainer to me. It teaches what the piano is. Well done and thanks for sticking with it.

i started at v5 and couldn't believe it was possible to model a piano this way.  looking forward to whatever is coming next. 

AirTEQ looks cool, can't wait!

Many happy returns to Modartt!

I play Pianoteq every day, using a Yamaha NU1XA as a controller, and I love it, especially the Shigeru Kawai. Thank you, Modartt, for making such a beautiful, playable, inspiring musical instrument!

Je veux ajouter ma voix et souhaiter un merveilleux 20e anniversaire à Modartt!
C'est difficile pour moi d'exprimer jusqu'à quel point Pianoteq a impacté ma création musicale et changé ma relation au piano...c'est monumental!
Modartt est une entreprise d'exception, non seulement par ses logiciels du plus haut niveau, mais par sa relation intime et généreuse avec ses utilisateurs.

Longue vie!
