Topic: Pianoteq on a DAW playback for music production

From what I understand Pianoteq is not like most of the VSTs out there, in a sense that in most of the VSTs the articulation controlled by patch changing(different samples), key switches, etc.
In Pianoteq, which is not a sampler but a modeled instrument, all the articulation is controlled via MIDI commands.
Am I getting it right?

Until now I used Pianoteq for live playing only, but I'm thinking to incorporate it in my compositions that I run in my DAW.
So my question is: can I controll Pianoteq articulations in a playback just by programing and get good results?

Now about Pianoteq's harp, I think it could be a great supplement for my orchestral VSTs arsenal, assuming it's as great as Pianoteq's Pianos.
but first I need to know the answers to all my general questions about Pianoteq from above, particularly about Pianoteq's harp.
And the most important thing I must know about Pianoteq's harp is: Is it built to emulate a real harp set of articulation, or is it some kind of harp for keyboard players?
Because what I'm looking for is some realistic harp VST which is supposed to emulate a real harp from every aspect, most importantly including a set of articulation of a real harp.

It's a piano, it does not have articulations, really. If you're talking about changing patches, you can simply load another instance of Pianoteq in a DAW on another track and g o for it.

Hard work and guts!

Yeah, but what about Pianoteq harp?
Is there a way to control the articulations?

You only have pedals you can use to do stuff like harmonics, pinch harmonics, glissando. In fact, when you load a harp preset, all pedals except the sustain pedal change to glissando, pinch and buff.
