"Ooomphy" is one of my favourite technical terms.

Oh this is great, I've been looking for the right piano sounds for years, have tons of sampled instruments but never came across this instrument - just grabbed a copy, truly great sounds.

Amazing software. That was really interesting. Thank you for taking the time to show it off.

Thanks Guy. Wow, they've come a hugely long way - I remember the very first release they did years and years ago and thought very little of it, but this sounds fantastic.

I find adding a little 'age' ('mint to worn' slider above the keyboard representation) to the models adds extra reality - coz it's the imperfections that give a sense of connection for me.

This video is as informative as it is entertaining. Your little tune is beautiful! Thank you very much! Pianoteq evolved so much over the past few years, it's amazing what can be done.

I’ve come so late into Pianoteq, but I’m glad I’m using it now.

First video I see from you Guy, I came for Pianoteq 7, and I stayed for your enthusiasm.

The voice over was rather fantastic and the perfect compliment to the arrangement. Nice work good sir!

Thanks, Guy and I have used 6 for a while and now looking forward to 7!

Guy, you soothe me, this was a particularly tender episode. Cheers.

Just somehow stumbled onto this channel now, not sure why it didn't pop up sooner all these years. You sir are fantastic, everything about your videos is like BBC top level of production. Bravo! I feel like I'm watching a network Tv show, incredible.

don't change you're amazing ! from france , "voila" , i like when you guys say that with your marvellous accent ! 👍👍👍

very well done video - always really enjoy your musical skills as well as your comedy skills. just when I thought I had already an abundance of piano sample librarie (including 128 "cinematic" and Felt pianos)I realized I had to get THIS! now I ended locked away in my room noodling around on a 17th century clavichord, which is so much fun. and there are tons of other great instruemnets included - I´d never thought that instruments catched by this special method could sound so great. thanks a bunch for this video!

Well Guy, I could also be very happy with this piece of software, absolutely fab! Just wish I could afford it, but it is a banging plug-in, would spend weeks just playing around. So well reviewed, as always, great.

Beautiful sound. Loved it.

This kind of sounds like my alarm clock. Still well done. It's always a great Inspiration watching you write music on the go.

Lovely composition.

It is not sample modelling but physical modelling as you rightly state in you written introduction unlike what you say in the video. The small footprint on on the HD and moderately so in memory are correct, but the load on the CPU can actually get quite high since the sound generating is all about number crunching, and physical modelling to the degree that Modart has taken it is very complex. I am technically geeky and a bit "obsessed" by getting the facts straight, but of course in the end it is the sonic and performance results that are the important ones. And here I find that Pianoteq really shines. It has been getting better and better sounding for each release, and the playability is superb. Very nuanced and subtle variations in your playing are all registered and carried through in the smallest detail. Good work getting a very enjoyable review out.

„should have sampled him!” Next episode called new barktek library. 😎 Great touching melody. Thank you again for your superb videos.

Thank you very much for this video and for being my inspiration! Please keep up good job!

Great video!

Hallo! Klasse, die Freude an der Musik ist richtig spürbar! Thank you!

Infectious joy, thank you Guy 😊 Happy New Year!

That house, that "shed", that Bechstein. Guy livin' the good life.

That commute across the lawn to the shed is admirable :-)

Pianos are such a personal thing. They either inspire you to play, or they don't. There are some beautifully sampled pianos out there. It can also help you write and compose whilst listening to the clear notes, and in the back of your mind the harmonies will develop. Nice one Guy.

I'm starting to love freedom to an extend I never imagined before. I made my choice: I subscribed and turned on the bell. :-D thanks for the video. Love Pianoteq too, it's so alive compared to sampled piano that sounds perfect. Your joy this morning turned a cloudy day into a sunshine. Hugs!

Some gorgeous harmonies here.

Awesome video!

Another great video! Makes 2020 go by faster. Not fast enough, but faster!

Didn't know this one. thanks guy

Guy...’you’re mad.’ I for one, am so glad for that. I see I can comfortably function on this same frequency without looking over my shoulder. I think we are forever amazed and bemused by tech and we are happy because we are so wonderfully attracted to anything that makes our inspiration spark. I’m sure we could even find a part in our play for that old piano outa tune note we find now and again. Just a reverse thrust here, a touch of delay there, and ‘’Boilaa’’. (sorry, I’m chewing a biscuit) ❤️🌹❤️ Loving your videos and flair. (Nz) 👍👍👍

Nice story. And the ending chord... the embrace. :)

Hello sir.. Great video as usual. I own the pianoteq 6 and its awesome

great tutorial and the sound is great

I really enjoyed this video!!!

Bravo!!!

I think its the release of the sustained notes and natural reverbation through the strings that make a real piano so special.

160k subscribers, nice one Guy. Always a loyal fan 👍

Great as always... You didn't even mention Pianoteq's marvellous features around different tunings etc. I was totally convinced by your French movie BTW!

I have quite a few piano VSTs but I always come back to Pianoteq

You are such a wonderful person

I was doing so well, really fancied fish and chips this evening but thought waste of money, so had toast. Then watched this video, 10 mins playing with the Demo and blew a years worth of fish and chips on the Pro version, was difficult choosing the four pianos but others aren't that badly priced for this quality to buy at a later date. Recently bought some new Adam Audio Monitors and the sound with these new instruments is just sublime. Just saving up for the sun glasses now!

You are a fantastic musician and an even better inspiration to smile. You play a little tune and I’m thinking, that is fantastic... then you say, “nah” and erase and to something different. I’m going to watch you videos hoping some of your talents rubs off on me.

Thanks. You should program siri to start with 'Now, look, ...' 😁

I could actually watch this guy eating his dinner 😂

Great!

25:02 had me giggling :D

You're an amazing person :)

Was that a veiled Mork & Mindy reference, Guy? Thanks for a most entertaining video!

Guy, if you wish to not bother switching presets on your streamdeck, you could just make a bunch of folders, each of which will lead to a completely different board. So, you will be able to switch between them of the fly, without touching the Streamdeck application.

Hello Guy, my warmest regards from Argentina. You are a great teacher and a great inspiration to me. Never arrogant and always teaching with a great sense of humor. Thank you very much! Best regards! Maria

Love ur cool uncle energy 😅😀❤️

The great strength of Pianoteq 7 is its instant responsiveness to nuanced subtle changes in playing. It responds to the slightest change in timing or velocity. It also loads up instantly. No problems on a 2012 macbk pro.

Loved this video. Guy said "seriously" at the end and "Siri" pipes up! LOL!

24:38 So well done

Looking for the like :) bottom AGAIN as you narrate the story over the music... Wonderful!!!

Hi Guy -- The tune you composed in this video is perhaps my favorite thing that you've done on this channel so far. Please tell me this will be an MP3 we can buy somewhere someday!

After building up a collection of orchestral sample libraries, I realised I’d never invested in a decent piano VST. My first thought was ‘I wonder what what Guy uses’. I think I purchased Pianoteq within 10 minutes of starting to watch this video

The laugh at the end is to the people who are not yet subscribers to this channel :) 10/10

im going the buy the piano (New York). its amazing

I feel the same way about the piano Guy! When I'm in front of the Piano and just starts to play, everything around me stops, so when I think that I have played for like 5 minutes it's actually 20 minutes later... amazing....

*** It's NOT "_sample_ modelled" PianoTeq are PHYSICALLY Modelled. They carefully code over many years to model the mathematical physical acoustic behaviour of strings, hammers, tines etc, and how they struck, plucked etc. Toulouse And yeah They are gorgeous instruments.

...so you've basically demoed my setup, Cubase and Pianoteq, only Pro versions of both. I'm just getting to know Pianoteq 7 and Cubase 11, so I'm still in the fumbling stages, but I'm liking the new sympathetic harmonic resonance. Maybe now some more classical folks will come onboard. :)

Feeling a bit Grand Budapest Hotel-ly at 16:00 :)

I remember when PianoTeq came out and you needed a 2.4Ghz Pentium 4 to *just* about run it. Of course thats about 7% of the CPU time on one of your 24 cores these days!

A tank drum is made from a propane tank. Different sized sections are partially cut out for different pitches.

Beauty)

Hello Guy! Please tell us what do you use for control Cubase macro and other on the midi keyboard. iPad? I checked AppStore and searched Cubase App but it only support for Cubase 9. I use Cubase 10.5 Pro. Thanks!

Physical Modelling here in The U.S. PT Pro is even better now. Every piano has felted options and you can layer without a DAW and even morph between instruments.

Hi Guy, Love the videos. I noticed at the top where your bar lines are in Cubase you have bars zero and then -1-2-3 etc , how do you create the minus bars in Cubase??

I suggested several years ago they should consider redesigning the user interface. But hey maybe they know more than well that their core target groups loves this looks from mid 90s?

Hey Guy! How often do you write music with pencil / paper at a piano vs in the DAW?

That was great, man! I had a good time watching it...and I really enjoyed how you did this whole Presentation. Good Job, really...good Job. Thumbs up! Best Greetings from Germany. Michael ps: I subscribed, even though you don't care. My decision... ;-)

Hi Guy, I love your videos: they're pure gold! Did you ever tried the Arturia V-Synth Collection? What do you think about it? Ciao from Italy!

25:10 Lol. Wow. Green light this project.

What’s the device with the lit up buttons that you’re using to start / stop / record? Is it a Stream Deck?

Hi Guy, do you have a link for the writing desk you have on your piano? That looks fantastic, I would love something like that

Which In-ear phone are you using? Any wireless transmiter/receiver? I´m curious.

Hello Guy! Great video as always! Just curious - is it planned to make a video on scoring cartoony/comedy kinda scenes? Or maybe you already have one that i cant actually find :( I'm struggling :D Thanks

LMAO: "I should have sampled him." cool sampler. augh, but I just bought cubase 11 upgrade. Thanks Guy

Love how light and versatile this is. My question is, what's the CPU load like? Does all the algorithm stuff make it chug on slower computers?

Sounded like one of the themes in Love Actually..

Thanks for this video, could you please tell me what midi controller or stage piano you use in your studio. Thanks.

What?! The 7th one? Nice!

Hey Guy Can you score a piece only using solo strings. Thanks.

The reason Pianoteq is so small in size is that it uses an approach similar to Roland: minimal samples with synthesis simulating everything else. It's also one of the few commercial plugins that has a native Linux version and can simulate things like the Stuart and Sons 108 key grand piano, of which no library exists for.

Really would like a tier between Discover and Core. On another note: a review of Spitfire's Contemporary Drama Toolkit next please

Lovely story telling at the end ;) Wot music??

Pianoteq sounds alive! Anyone know if there is an upgrade path from Standard to Pro Bundle? If such a path exists it is not apparent on the website.

This little Pianoteq composition sure sounds very similar to the Candy Crush sweet game tune

plese do Cinematic Studio Brass review

Scary unexpected final! Should write an horror Siri-based piece

There is something about the pianoteq. I’ve had v5 and v6. And found them so expressive compared to simple sample libraries.

"Should've sampled 'im" (the barking dog), I laughed out loud! Re the marvel that is the piano: I'm a bass player before I'm anything else, but the piano is my go-to writing instrument. You can paint a complete picture with it in a way that is denied you on every other instrument. A nice library and a lovely piece. Thanks, Guy!

In the Night Garden!

The ending had me dying

Funny how I kept hearing some sort of fretless bass lines after you added the piano, Guy Also pianoteq sounds great

Does the 1796 piano model have three distinct registers Guy?The pianos around that time (Hummel and Field) had a different timbre in the 'tenor' register.The instruments sound 'wrong' to modern ears but the music written of that time often reflects this.
