Topic: MAKE PIANOTEQ the MOST REALISTIC VST among ALL SAMPLED VSTs

Even the Stage users can do that !!! At the EFFECTS button use a field (many pianos presets have 2 fields used and 1 unused, the third one), and choose the Chorus!!! It's done! The piano voice will become as realistic as an electric piano can be. You can play with the settings (just don't increase the chorus rate) until you find the most realistic tone. But even if you don't change anything, the task is done!!! The combination of the Chorus effect and the Physical Modeling technology will give you the ultimate realistic piano sound. Try it!

Glad you discovered the effects hornet900

Lots of reliable effects in there which do work really well. I'm always surprising myself, finding ways of using the tools inside Pianoteq instead of other plugins and FX.

Yes, it's not big deal. I have the Yamaha CSP-170 and I hear the pianoteq through it's speakers (4 x 45 w). I have connected my laptop (Asus 2to1 i5 8gen 16gb, 256ssd) on it with USB and I downloaded the Steinberg ASIO drivers from Yamaha web page. I think that connection uses the Digital to Analog converter of the instrument. It's not the best, but it sounds very natural and loud in my living room. Also, with this simple gear,  I need no extra space for extra speakers, cables and external sound cards. My laptop is 2 to 1 so I just fully fold it and I put it on the music rest, using just 1 USB cable.

Yes, put the condition to 0.40. Make the Chorus depth 40 to 45. Also use a preset with no too bass at the low notes. For example I use the Petrof 272 or Bechstein 282, Stainway D home... put the volume of your system up, like an acoustic piano volume... I still search things. The only thing I wish I could do, but I can't because I have the stage version, it to volume down the high notes, the 2 last octaves on the right. They are too loud, and this is unnatural...

A good find. I've always wanted more options, like all the combinations instead of the three, The same with microphones, ten instead of five.
