Organteq

Though this instrument uses physical modeling, actual sampling has been eschewed

The behavior and timbre of the organ has been simulated, giving you the authentic sound of an organ in a file size relatively small in this day and age—just 15 MB. All the familiar aspects of a church organ have been reproduced, including the action noises from keys, stops, and couplers as well as the arrangement of pipes in a stereophonic space.

Organteq gives you over 1000 pipes assigned to three keyboards in the GUI

Covering a range of five octaves as well as a pedal section with 32 notes, each virtual keyboard can be assigned to various stops with adjustable parameters. The software provides intelligent MIDI mapping for your MIDI controller, though its comprehensive MIDI-learn feature allows you to play the organ with all sorts of MIDI controllers.

The software is compatible with Mac, Windows, and Linux operating systems. It functions in AU, VST, and standalone.

Pianoteq 8 Stage

Version 8 refines the engine and physical modeling to increase authenticity.

Offering a fresh, streamlined user interface to enhance readability and usability, Pianoteq has partnered with Steinway & Sons, Steingraeber, Bechstein, Blüthner, Grotrian, and Petrof, each a venerated piano-manufacturing powerhouse. All of them have approved the sound of their pianos.

Pianoteq 8 Stage comes with two instrument packs of your choice.

The software works on Mac, Windows, and Linux systems, operating in AAX, AU, VST, NKS, and standalone formats. Because there are no samples, the file size is just a tiny fraction of that required by most virtual instruments, making Pianoteq perfect for any laptop.

  • Improved piano model: All contemporary acoustic pianos, the Vintage Reeds electric pianos and the Concert Harp have been carefully revoiced in order to increase authenticity and playability of these instruments. Everything is tailored to suit demanding recording projects and performances.
  • New slick GUI facelift: Reflecting this new major upgrade, Pianoteq 8 offers a fresh streamlined user interface, enhancing readability and usability. Instruments and scenes are now displayed for a clear presentation of preset selections.
  • New Classical Guitar instrument pack (available separately): The nylon Classical Guitar, available as an instrument pack for Pianoteq 8, introduces a new category of physically modeled instruments, with emulated gestures and natural instrument noises for breathtaking realism.
