Newgrand piano modelled after a New York Steinway Model D All pianos in Pianoteq 7 are constructed and revoiced using this new physical model. It also allows longer sustain, particularly in the bass range, with notes lasting up to a couple of minutes, just like on a real acoustic piano. The new physical model allows more complex tones to be produced, and as observed by a pianist, the sound becomes 'three-dimensional'. parallel or perpendicular to the soundboard. It consists in modelling string vibrations that can take any direction, e.g. Modartt introduces a new refinement in its physical model: the double polarization. The difference between Morphing and Layering is that in the latter the two sounds are mixed together, whereas in Morphing the instrument Physics itself is being morphed. playing Bass Marimba in the low range, Xylophone in the upper range and mixing both together in the middle range. On popular demand, Modartt adds a new Layering feature allowing to mix several instruments, e.g.

This innovative technology handles the morphing at the physical modelling level, providing stunning acoustic authenticity to instruments that never existed. These are however three of the many instruments you can create with the acoustic Morphing introduced in Pianoteq 7 (Standard/PRO). Instruments XyloHarp, VibraDrum or GlockenTines certainly do not exist. Besides a refined physical model benefiting all pianos, a New York Steinway Model D virtual concert grand, authorized by Steinway & Sons, has been developed, bringing the legendary concert piano sound with superb musical expression. Modartt releases version 7 of Pianoteq, introducing acoustic Morphing and Layering which let you create and mix hybrid instruments with stunning acoustic authenticity.
