#Truepianos vs pianoteq pro#

It had been a while since I demoed them, so with fresh ears I put them head to head, testing each on a Casio CDP-120 and a Novation Impulse. Their Tubular Bells are also a treat to play and mangle. I always get emails with new little instruments to hear. Modartt is really a great little company though too. I have the bellish Gay Love song sounds, but I want a Rhodes I can really dig into and pound on. I really need the Corea/Auger sound, that's what I am missing.

#Truepianos vs pianoteq pro#

In Gigastudio the RHodes and Wurlitzer were superb, so whether it s Kontakt or Scarbee conversions I don't care, they are different so PTeq Pro was a lifesaver for the 200A and D6, not to mention an accurate Upright with selectable detune for selected notes.īut their Rhodes is just to beefy and I gave up trying to get it to sound like a Mark V. On Scarbees D6 it sounds awful and the mute is off or on and so Linear I can't possibly use it.Įven the Rhodes and Wurlitzer have been semi- reduced for Kontakt. The best thing about PTeqPro is the individual note editing.įor example on my deceased D6 when I half muted it I could still get sustain on the lower notes with the chicken pecking mid and upper end. VGP 2 is my go to Rock and Cool School stuff. Besides I need the sostenuto for the BarrelHouse stuff. I use PianoTeq Pro for it's Wurlitzer, Hohner D6 and an Upright sound. I recall a recent thread in which Steve Nathan said he's been using Truepianos and his clients have preferred it to Ivory. My response to that is, So what? With all the virtual pianos available, Pianoteq should sound real as soon as I start playing it I shouldn't have to spend time trying to dial in authenticity. The default defense of Pianoteq seems to be that it has a multitude of adjustable paramaters, and that it sounds good in a mix.

I also found Truepianos to be more alive and playable, which surprised me given all the talk about how Pianoteq is so playable. To me, Truepianos (Atlantis module) sounds like a good, high-end ROMpler piano, whereas Pianoteq has a synthetic quality to it that makes it unconvincing. In terms of realism, it's not even close: Truepianos over Pianoteq by a mile. I adjusted no velocity settings, and the only EQ adjustment I made was to eliminate any default reverb.
