More significantly, physical modelling allows Pianoteq Pro to produce a uniquely nuanced sound in response to every variance in velocity or pedalling. Pianoteq Pro 7 weighs in at just under 50 MB. Drive space is the first that comes to mind – a quick survey of the sampled instrument marketplace turns up instruments weighing in at anywhere from 7 to 240 GB. The sounds it makes are produced in real time using a complex mathematical model.Ĭonceptually, a modelled instrument has a number of advantages over a sampled one. It’s a physically modelled instrument (a collection of instruments, in fact) that simulates “the playability and complex behaviour of real acoustic instruments,” according to the Modartt website. Because unlike the sampled piano sounds that I’ve been making do with for decades, Pianoteq Pro does not represent a snapshot of a piano someone recorded in a studio at some time in the past. When I first started exploring Pianoteq Pro, I found myself thinking about the insides of pianos for the first time in a long while. It was the beginning of a lifelong fascination with sound, and a sense of awe about the complexity of pianos in particular. I’d put staples and tacks into the hammers to elicit new and interesting sounds, or silently depress keys and strum the undampened strings with guitar picks. My parents encouraged my curiosity about it, and never flinched when I removed parts of it to look inside to try to figure out how it all worked. The house I grew up in had an old Sterling upright piano, made sometime in the early 20th century.
