Airteq supported platforms

Airteq, a curious invention that I was lucky enough to try during the public beta—and for that reason I currently have early access alongside a handful of beta testers. There will probably be an Airteq forum later on, but in the meantime, we can share a few thoughts here: for now, I find it very appealing. I admit it wasn't love at first sight; I didn't quite grasp what kind of instrument it was at first. Now I think both Airteq (Modartt) and I have a clearer idea, though it remains wide open.

In this day and age, when it feels like everything in synthesis has already been invented and the main differences between virtual instruments lie in their factory preset packs, it seems unbelievable that a new niche like Airteq—rooted in organ pipe physics on one side and classic synth modulation systems on the other—could be created and actually work. It's just getting started, but the mere fact that it exists as an instrument with no real competition (something similar happened back in the day with Pianoteq) and with that openness toward more experimental sound design—stepping away from the emulator world (wonderful as it is) of Pianoteq and Organteq—makes me think it has a bright future.

Right now, I'm having a blast testing the patches designed for a Breath Controller (I use Yamaha's with a VL70-m). It's a last-minute addition that will delight anyone who owns one, as well as those with a Wind Controller who know how to play it. Thank you, Modartt!!
