Topic: Pianoteq for President!
Hi friends,
I'll turn 45 already next time but anyhow I really plan to start piano learning yet, starting from the ground. Doesn't matter, a try is the half of a win.
Looking arround for an equipment I found Pianoteq, listened the demos, looked at the hardware requirement and saw the price ...
So there is nothing else for me to say than Modartt for President!
The biggest gold medal would I give you for your really honorful marketing politics! Because: there are many other providers outside, making their standard version so poor as possible, they try hard to force you to buy the pro version or an upgrade because you absolutely can't work with the standard version.
Pianoteq presenting another world: for not more than 100 Euros (!) I can get the full set of these wonderful instruments to play them without any willful restriction, even the basic modifications you can do! Only as a freak, as a human screwdriver you will the play-version feel not enough for you. And ... I'm NOT forced to decide just now what a version I have to buy, because PLAY plus a later upgrade to STANDARD has the same price as the STANDARD itself. Also the same for an upgrade from STANDARD to PRO. So ....
THANK YOU FOR THIS!
If 400 for PRO or 250 for STANDARD or even just 100 Euros for the play-version, there are several stunning concert grands and even several sensational historical instruments included, this is absolutely unique, worldwide no comparable thing to find! No wonder that I say this, beeing a clasics-fan and I really would love it to play also a good harsichord and an old pianoforte. So, as an example, you can play Beethoven on an authentic "Hammerklavier" wich could theoretically have been his own instrument.
I also plan to do-it-yourself a smaller grand piano body from wood or acryle or maybe to "empty" a damaged digital grand and then install a new and better keyboard and the needed parts of a computer in. So I was afraid to need a strong mainboard-cpu-set for sample-libraries and thought how to solve the heat-problem without ventilators. So comes my question: I guess, for Pianoteq's modelling-engine I'll need not more than an Intel Atom dual-core 2 x 1,6 GHz, am I right?? So the piano could work without ventilators and I could install a smaller SSD-drive with no noise and heat and wich is not so expansive, having just arround 30 GB for Windows and Pianoteq.
So next time I'll buy Pianoteq and a keyboard so good as possible, maybe so I still will have to wait for the needed money, the keyboard shouldn't be under the standard of Fatar Numa Nero or Kawai MP5/ MP6, I think.
There is still alot to read for me in the forum, So finally I'm really delighted about Pianoteq and also the website is beautiful - only your java-scripts seem not to work fine to all browsers.
