Topic: Combining two piano models.
As I am running Pianoteq Pro on a Muse Receptor it was a simple matter to create two instances of Pianoteq (same midi channel etc).
I was curious to see how two piano models would sound simultaneously.
Honestly I expected some kind of phasing/chorus monstrosity …… I was wrong!
I layered my personal Blüthner program (my favourite model) over the Model B - which has many wonderful qualities also just to see what would happen.
The only range I didn't really like was the extreme low end, where a real piano has only one bass string per note. Despite carefully matching the tuning and intonation the multiple bass strings sounded unnatural. I opted eventually to exclude this key range from the Model B instance (again in Receptor it is simple to define the midi key range for each plugin).
Of course purists might be horrified, but for some it might be a nice tip as each different piano model has different advantages.
:-))) Now I have a "Blütway" and very nice it is too!
Pianoteq is just THE BEST!
