I think the first big leap about pianoteq was when they first replaced the virtual soundbord for a new algorithm. This was around version 2 or version 3. There was another nice leap when Juliette Chabassier joined Modartt team and helped with another refinement for the soundboard algorithm.
Another important advance was not just about the key note sound but about the sound irradiation, which got quite more spacious and vivid. The sound itself was somehow muffed in early versions and got a real twist for better.
But the advances in last years, despite be more subtle in terms of "before after comparisom", was more relevant to convert some pseudo-hater to get pianoteq as the sound was getting closer and closer to a real piano.
This gave me an idea for a Time Machine Video, showing pianoteq sound quality evolution since the first Beta version until today. I believe this could be an excellent promotional video for pianoteq.
If you want a crazy request, here one : An adjustment slider for pianoteq versions since the first beta until today.
