On behalf of the whole team, thank you all for your kindness!
It must be mentioned that the beta team did a great job on all aspects, from sound to UI, we wouldn't be there without them!

The new NY Steinway has blown my mind! I thought it couldn't get any better than the Bechstein D282, but the overall closeness to
sample-libraries is absolutely uncanny for every single note! Bass notes in particular are pristine, no artificiality present even in the
lowest notes The rest of the notes, from the midrange to the treble, also sound totally natural; hammer attack is perfect as well!
There is absolutely no trace of the telltale 'Pianoteq' signature that would instantly give it away; even for me, if you gave me a recording
from this new Steinway model, it wouldn't sound out of place!
I predicted by version 7 that Pianoteq would reach parity with sample libraries; sounds like this newest Steinway has done exactly that!

This is definitely a step up. I used to love the YC5 except for an unpleasant metallic harmonic that I probably could have gotten rid of if I knew how to tweak Standard better. Anyway, this model sounds better, and everything I've tried sounds better. The price of the upgrade is very reasonable.
Also, the little bit of morphing I've done combining piano models, is really cool. I wish I could freeze time and spend months on end playing with this rainbow of keyboard sounds.

Re: Pianoteq 7 - Bravo Pianoteq Devs
I just upgraded to version 7 and I am *very* pleased with the sound of the NY Steinway. Beautiful warm sound and rich sustain! I like it better than the HB Steinway.
Some minor nitpicking regarding the naming: The name "HB Steinway" is a bit misleading, at least for people in Germany, because "HB" is the official abbreviation for "Hansestadt Bremen", i.e. the city of "Bremen" where I happen to live.
If using abbreviations, it should be "HH" for "Hansestadt Hamburg" but people outside of Germany would probably not understand that.
Other than that, I am looking forward to further explore what this upgrade has in store.

Ah, bad luck, we didn't know, not sure what we should do now... I now remember how important the Hanse was in the past, so it is not surprising it comes as prefix of many cities.

1. Easiest solution: Do nothing, since it only affects one country.
2. Hamburg airport abbreviation is HAM, but that might be misinterpreted as "jambon" ;-)
HBG seems to be official though I personally would like HMB better.
Solution #1 ist probably best.

Danke Heinrich, "HAM" fand ich sehr lustig
OK, so we stick to 1.

Pianoteq 7 got very good reception on Gearslutz:

Checking Pianoworld... They have people spotting improvements in the piano tone, but they also have the haters of always.

Yes, pianoteq is a wonderfull software, certainly the better software I never used in my life...
Perhaps one of the greatest invention since invention of printing ( I'm exaggerating just a little bit...).
And on this forum the daily help of Philippe Guillaume himself... imagine Gutenberg helping you when you have a problem of printer...
I' m sixty, I always had the irrealistic dream of a grand piano in my house, thanks to pianoteq I have several and my living room is full... And I really enjoy playing on them everyday...
Sorry for my poor english so... Vive pianoteq et ses concepteurs...

Yep. But there’s only a few left of them. And they’re tone-deaf

I was thinking the same thing. No matter what Pianoteq does the few haters of the software at PW find fault with the software. I choose to support Pianoteq so it does improve. I think Pianoteq is like Roland's modeled pianos and does need above average monitors/speakers to bring out the best in the program.
