Someone with high knowledge, technique and able to leave from piano or someone who bought the stage pro from pianoteq, or other kind? Or maybe this rate is out of reality. Now you have to define what is Profesional? Giving the 2015 sales of the company, and the rate given by quasiunafantasia (1 profesional for 1000 amators), I assume that approximatively there are 6 professionals using Pianoteq. It seems that it was built up by someone who has true passion in music and mathematics (high knowledge and technic in both area) and has built a strong team. Modartt seems to be a small company, very profitable since it is a software company (surely no debts, few movable assets, higher costs being personals). They most likely target producers that create music "in the box" as it's so called, all their recent updates like layering, morphing, felt pianos etc. I ask this again, who do you think are the main customers of virtual instruments (of any kind)? Do you really think their main target group are amateur piano players that want better sounds for their digital piano? That group can't be more then an absolute niche for them. PT has been a lot more then that for a long time tough, and the target group they have in mind seems to be orchestral composers and such like Ramin Djawadi, the same as Keyscape and Komplete (Though PT is closer to Keyscape then Komplete). This is a piano forum, so people see PT as a way to get acoustic piano sounds.

Their main objective most likely is to make money so they can sustain their business model. As long as the simulated sound is so far off the acoustics' sound, Modartt still has very important work to do, and introducing felt sounds is not helping.ĭon't mistake your personal objectives with the one of a company. But I think working on felt piano sound is a detraction from the real objective: to get people like MacMacMac and CyberGene to love the Pianoteq sound.
