Unlike most sample-based VST libraries, Pianoteq uses physical modeling technology, that is, it is on a par with Sample Modeling wind instruments, IK Multimedia bass guitars (MODO BASS) and Applied Acoustics Systems instruments. Thanks to this approach to design, Pianotek is very small (about 50 MB), while there is no reason to doubt the sound quality - the sound quality of the plug is noted by representatives of Steinway, whose instruments served as the basis for the Pianoteka engine.

Here, everything that characterizes a real piano: mechanical noises (optional), complex sound of pedals and strings in combination, the impact of strikes on staccato play (short notes), and, of course, most importantly, the beauty of piano sound. Notes are actually played (“created” on the fly in real time, as in a real piano), and not just read from disk or memory. This explains why the sound is lively and not static: it’s not a simple recording, it’s a genuine instrument that responds to the finest interpretations of a pianist, without having to store gigabytes of data, because he only needs a modern processor to compute all sounds in real time.
