Topic: Creating multiple pianos in concert

I am trying to render Beethovens 5th symphony.
If you listen to this rendition http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4IRMYuE1hI
you can hear the multiple pianos smoothen each other out. Also, the concert hall reverb works in well.

When I render this this Pianoteq, I can hear the individual keys (obviously as its a single piano) and it does not have the same feel.
When I choose multiple iterations of Pianoteq, it still does not work as each key just plays on top of each other.

Is there a way to have a multiple pianos in orchestra effect for Pianoteq ?

Using two pianoteq instances.

Re: Creating multiple pianos in concert

Hmmmm...if I understand this correctly... maybe two separate computers with each having it's own Pianoteq and of course one keyboard midied to both. One computer can have latency adjusted a wee different and a few other tweaks just to be "two" different pianos (if using same preset). Not sure if any phasing issues will be present though.

Or each computer set up with different speakers instead of sharing common monitors.

Re: Creating multiple pianos in concert

if you use two instances and different models, there should be no problem.

There are no pianos in that recording at all. Do you mean the "multiple instruments"?  Or, did you mean to link to a rendition that really does use pianos?

In any case, I suppose with Pianoteq's ability to be tweaked to extremes, you could come up with an interesting "piano orchestra" simulation......

If you get anywhere please post your recording, it will be very interesting! Good luck.
