The Blüthner is great; what next? (Page 1 of 3)

I would like to see a Steinway B.

An upright, please.

To my mind, what next should be an ipad/iphone version.

Fazioli F308 or F278

iPhone/iPad version!

A Fazioli like this one I am playing ...(Photo taken by a Fazioli grandson at Winter NAMM 2012)

The quality of the Bluther is SO SO S-O good that my preference is for whatever ModArtt chooses to adds next! Their choices are inspired and fabulous!

That piano is not even real (it's computer generated graphics).

Fazioli F308 . Please

Steinway B

It simply must be the 'P1'. Always felt that Pianoteq was missing out in just copying existing piano models.

Why not talk to a creative, performing, artist, and develop a custom made signature piano in cooperation? Create a new piano, rather than the umptieth digital Boesendorfer.

People like Silbermann, Pleyel talked a great deal to the leading musical lights of their day. I am, for music, not a great believer in the "Wisdom of the crowds" approach, which, in the case of Pianoteq would i fear only lead to the perfect instrument to play solitary, with headphones, in city appartments. Nice, but not enough.

Make it alive, make it 21st century.

I never played a Shigeru, but it's my life's wish to do so (since I'll never really be able to afford one, nor do I deserve it or have room for it)!

Yes to that, for me!

I am pleased beyond words about what we have, but of course companies have to go on in this world^^.

What I wish the most is that no i-pad version would slow down the development, like it does with many other companies. Nearly 100% of all i-pad-users own a laptop and desktop too. With Apple (yes, that's the hyped company that paid a whopping 1,9% income tax after they made huge money in 2011 using legal bad tricks in the USA, a country with a real lot of really poor people) sometimes even the OS is changing so fast that nice vstis become useless. But that's not the main reason,
I just find it horrible that people buy 10 laptops in 10 years and 4 desktops and additionally 8 i-pods and 5 i-pads.
Well, that is what they do, but if we are in the wishlist, a superb piano is for musicians first, and not for gear-lust.
Sometimes I like to play piano for hours to forget that I live in a kind of mad world. Anyway - if madness and the next i-fly and i-elefant would not stand in the way of the developers, well, fine. Buy your piano for the toilet too, and don't forget the roof, it can be nice to go there about every year.

I'd wish, like Evil Dragon and jcfelice88keys, just in a different order

- uprights! Or more tips how we would fake those.

- A Bechstein with the P4 or later P5 possibilities (yes, we have one, and I still love it)

- Boesendorfer (wonderful...)

- Shigeru Kawai (never ever heard of, but what you write sounds marvellous)

- an "i grand". For the gear-hunters. touchscreen only, of course, who needs a keyboard. Wrapped in a stylish 5*7 pixel piano, including magnifying glasses for the elderly (over 21, that is^^)

Again, that's pure icing on the cake for me, I am happy with what we got. Another suggestion, if at one point in the future the developers would tend to think pianoteq was mature enough now (2020^^?) - was to add a pdf with a lot of tips how to do our own creations. Like making even more note-edits parameters open for the pro-version. I always thought I'd pay for such a book as pdf, like I pay for add-ons.

I agree the Bluthner it's the most natural sound pianoteq model.
It's a signal of what wait for the future.

But as any comercial dependent project, pianoteq needs sales to keep developing, and at to this point they need to create other piano models for new consumers.

If the new technologies advances, already developed and incorporated to Bluthner, could be fit to some old models, without consume much resources, maybe Modartt could refurbish some models, like Bechstein 1896, YC5.

I would like to download some mp3 from the pianoteq site e-competition page.

But I guess it's not possible...

The e-competition files are really fun to test your "fxps".   I think I understand your question.  May I suggest:

1)  load one of the .mid files from e-competition website by dragging and dropping on to the PTQ open graphic display
2)  export it as a .wav  (one of the pull down menus in PTQ)
3)  then convert the .wav into a .mp3 . .   very simple with a MAC . . not sure of the method with a PC but it works basically the same way

Have fun listening . .  I use those files all of the time

Thanks for the tips  Lanny

But it would still require the right velocity curves adequate to Yamaha Disklavier.

I agree with Hombic & Beto. Further refining the bluthner and D4 is the way to go.
I play other modules I have. But since I purchased pianoteq,  I always finish playing the bluthner & D4. Something about their playability. If they sound so good now, can you imagine Bluthner part two.

2013...

13 it's a bad luck number...

2013 will be a bad luck year for sampled pianos.

;-)

ofcourse, it must be good.. we survived 21-12-2012 :-)

What ever the next model (Bosendorfer ), it would be best if Modartt got the quality approved and the endorsement of the company. Just like who they worked on producing the Bluthner.

I have always been asking for a Hohner Pianet N model.

I finally got my own real Pianet N this year.  I wonder if I can assist Modartt is getting it modelled...?

Omg if they need an Erard to remodel I have one. We need more Erards.
