Pianoteq Rock Collection Add-On (Download)

As from version 4.1 of Pianoteq, you can now enjoy the newly developed successor Electric R2 which is a free update and replacement of Electric R1. The sound, presence and response are all improved with increased accuracy. By using the new exciting effects in Pianoteq 4, such as Amp, Chorus, Tremolo, the new Tine noise parameters, or even the Blooming parameter (firstly intended for the Steelpans), the Electric R2 can be transformed into amazingly expressive variants. Make sure to explore the rich selection of factory presets provided.

Thanks to the powerful technology provided by physical modelling, it offers in contrast to the original instrument a sustain pedal, an extended range from C0 to C6 (original range F0 to E5), a variable mute bar, continuous pick-up mixing, and possibilities to adjust the timbre such as hammer hardness, overtones and resonator.

There is also a wah-wah feature and customized EQ presets.

YC5 is modelled from a well known Japanese grand piano, frequently seen on stages and widely appreciated by touring artists for its musical qualities and reliability. It is also a popular instrument at conservatories and other music schools.

The updated model in Pianoteq 5 refines the attack and soundboard model of YC5, bringing increased clarity and authenticity.
