Topic: Early Christmas gift from Pianoteq !
Happy happy joy joy ! Singing bowls ? A Hammond addon ? A virtual piano bench ? Exciting ! No -really !

Re: Early Christmas gift from Pianoteq !
It's tough to even venture a guess...I bought the Bluthner model with my 20 Euro video money and I consider that a great gift already! Maybe an intimate, eclectic upright? How about a scratch & sniff sticker that smells like a vintage, well loved Bosendorfer?

I like that.
My Santa request would be virtual cymbals with enough variation spread across one key bed to mimic a splash to a ride to a china to a gong. I know -it's deviating far from a piano. But Pianoteq is a percussion generator after all (don't forget the bells) and sampled cymbals just can't manage the variety of tones and sympathetic nature of multiple strikes, etc.

A harp would be fine.

"My Santa request would be virtual cymbals..."
It would be interesting to see if their physical model engine could handle the dynamic complexity of all the variations a single cymbal can produce. I wonder how involved a basic experiment would be by the Pianoteq creators? I wish I knew more about the process involved. Aside from their piano models, the large bells & steel drums were really impressive IMHO. -Perry-

Re: Early Christmas gift from Pianoteq !
My bet: it's a time machine. ;-)
Modartt planned to announce the Early Christmas Gift at 12:12 CET, but the countdown clock hits zero at 1:12p.m.
So it must be a time machine for turning the time back by an hour, perhaps with some nice bells!

Maybe an updated Pleyel!

20 Euro? It's 49 now, was it cheaper before? :S

Re: Early Christmas gift from Pianoteq !
Time is the weirdest thing, I’ve asked that question thirty times today, and every time someone gives me a different answer.
It get's even more complicated with Modartt's different timezones who try covering all Europe (I think)
EET - Forum's time (CET-1, GMT-2)
CET - Early Christmas Gift announcement: no announcement was made at 12:12 (CET, GMT-1)
GMT - Early Christmas Gift countdown: will hit zero in 30 minutes at 12:12 (CET+1, GMT)

sorry, we have had a few hesitations between GMT and CET -- anyway, now everything is online
