Arturia piano v2 vs pianoteq6/14/2023 ![]() ![]() I expect what we'd hear is simply the sound of two different takes on the sound of a grand, but I hope someone who is a better pianist than I am takes this on. Not with a MIDI file, but with a live performance. One thing has surprised me-no one has yet recorded a slow piece using both Pianoteq and Piano V 2. And if Arturia "catches up" a bit, I will consider Piano V as an addition to the pallete instead of a replacement for Pianoteq. My introduction to Piano V was just a couple days ago via the V2 demo, and - despite being a Pianoteq devotee - I was wowed by how inviting Arturia's UI is and playable and listenable the pianos are with the very easy and even fun tweaking, thanks to that UI. Pianoteq shines in the ability to control almost every aspect of each note and it still has a more complex sound, and a much wider range of instruments and controls, so I'll be in the Pianoteq camp for a long time. Arturia has programmed it so that changes are not applied evenly across all of the keys, according to the manual, but still, doing things like detuning the unisons does affect all of the unisons. I'm disappointed with the program's limitations-the universal controls, particularly. The first is a morphing and layering engine. ago Being a modeler should make it more taxing on the CPU, not less, although a lot less taxing on RAM usage. But somehow there is a kind of evenness to the sound, a lack of variety, perhaps, from note to note. This latest version, Pianoteq 7, adds two new features. Arturia Piano V2 is worth looking into, it’s not a sampler of piano sounds, it’s a modeler so it’s not as cpu taxing and there’s quite a lot of different parameter controls like mic placement and room acoustics. Other grand presets can be opened from any other preset, and once an upright has been loaded from the "American init" preset, all is fine.Īs for the sound, I'll have to say that I like it, but with qualifications. Essentially, one must always go back to the "American init" preset before opening an upright preset. On the Arturia forum, Peter has posted a temporary workaround to avoid the crashes.
