Modartt Pianoteq Pro v9.2.1

Pianoteq 9 is a virtual instrument from Modartt that uses physical modeling to create realistic and dynamic sounds of pianos and other instruments. Unlike samplers, Pianoteq generates sound in real time, which makes it more expressive and responsive.

Pianoteq 9 includes several significant improvements:
An improved soundboard vibration model creates a deeper, more realistic stereo and spatial perception of sound. Instruments sound richer, more organic, and three-dimensional.
New and updated instruments. A new Triple Harp has been added to the Harps section. Its sound, rooted in the Baroque era, has a distinctive and refined timbre. String plucking has been improved for the Concert and Celtic Harps. The MKII and Vintage Reeds have been updated for a more dynamic response and richer fortissimo sound.
Expanded preset selection . New expressive presets have been added, including
“Sombre” for a deep, cinematic sound;
“Felt” for vintage instruments;
and improved Binaural presets for a fuller, more immersive sound on headphones.
Expanded microphone capabilities. The interface allows you to place up to eight virtual microphones around the instrument, and the updated mixer provides intuitive controls for stereo and multichannel output.
The new roaring Thunder pedal , and much more.

PRO: The ultimate professional version that allows you to customize up to 30 physical parameters for each note and supports internal sampling rates up to 192 kHz.

Included:
Pianoteq 9.2.1 standalone macOS application

The AAX plugin is included in the package, but Pro Tools rejects it during PACE validation, so it is currently non-functional and unsupported.
