Can someone please list all the minimum requirements required on an ipad in order to run Pianoteq 8. I see it requires ios version 15 or higher. What about storage requirements for say "Stage" with 2 instrument packs. Can the software be supported on an iPad Air? And processor minimums. It would be great if the minimum requirements were posted for Stage, Standard and Pro.

I don't have an iPad so I haven't tried this, however I'm pretty darn confident you would be in more trouble with the whole iPad if you couldn't even get Pianoteq on it!
The reason being the program does not use samples, so it's tiny compared to pretty much any other piano program you care to mention.
So if you don't have the space for Pianoteq the iPad would be in big trouble anyway.
The minimum processor requirement will be the same for all three versions.
From their FAQ:
"What iPhone or iPad model is compatible with Pianoteq?
We recommend a recent iPhone/iPad model, but Pianoteq runs well also on older models using iOS 15 or higher, such as iPhone SE, iPhone 6s, iPad Mini 4 and iPad 5."

Just install the demo and try it
Key Fumbler, My question is not about being able to download pianoteq 8 on an ipad using ios 15 or greater. I've already done that successfully. The question was about minimum requirements necessary to do this. I'm looking to buy another hopefully much older (and therefore much less expensive) iPad to run pianoteq 8 exclusively. I can't do that until I know the minimum requirements.
I've already purchased the "Stage" level Pianoteq 8 and have downloaded it successfully on my new iPad. I don't want to tie up my new iPad everytime I wish to use my piano. I'd like to find a used, older iPad on the cheap to just leave always connected to the piano. To buy one (cheap) I need to know the minimum requirements to run the ios version.

I guess if one of the members has an old iPad you might get an answer. Bear in mind that if it's marginal an update might make it obsolete- limit you to older versions of Pianoteq.
If you want cheap and compact another option is to buy Raspberry Pi 5 and use this with a very small screen. Obviously that's not your familiar iPad experience though. Maybe a solution that's too technical for some.

Hi there, I use Pianoteq on my old iPad Pro 2nd generation, and it works fine. Also on my iPhone 12. But here I notice occasional crackles (I like to use it with 64 samples buffer and 48000 Hz for natural response and good sound quality). Usage with background audio on and additional sound sources like iReal leads to unusable latency here. Can anyone tell how you set up your iOS devices for an optimal, pianoteq-exklusive, use of the cpu? thanks a lot!
Pianoteq free test version is running on my ipad 7 from 2019 (A10) alright, 64GB memory. iOS 17.x something, latest version.

I also have had problems running Pianoteq 8 and ForScore on an iPad Pro M4 -- too much lag and some distortion, even crashes. Buffer size: 64. Sample Rate: 48000 Hz. I would like advice how to configure Pianoteq 8 on iPad to run simultaneously with other apps, such as ForScore and ToneStack Pro, using multitasking and Stage.
I have ipad 6th gen from 2018 (iOS 17.7) and Pianoteq is running smoothly without problems, crashes etc. (only sometimes when running through Bluetooth with DP I have to change sample rate back and forth because i can't hear anything, but it's rather something with Bluetooth than iPad) But I don't use it much so I don't know how reliable it is as the main source for Pianoteq.

I hope you get an answer to this

The answer is really in Key Fumbler's first reply. The minimum requirements are simply, any model that can run at least iOS 15. The FAQ he quoted there lists, among others, the oldest, slowest, least capable iOS devices that can run iOS 15, and it says it runs well on them (e.g. iPhones as old as the 6S). So that's the answer. (Of course that doesn't mean it can't run better on newer systems, as they recommend.)
