05-05-07 / 01:24 AM : Audiofanzine : Modartt Pianoteq 2 review (cjed)
Audiofanzine provides a new detailed review, this time about the famous Modartt Pianoteq 2. They conclude this french company succeeded making the most expressive piano of the market, even better than all sampled piano libraries. And all in only 8 Mo ! The first version demo was still outstanding, but comments say this new version is even better, without any synthetic sounding. At 249 euros it is then the new reference, moreover the software is not processor hungry.
The demo can be downloaded here. It works 45 days but some notes are muted : F#1, G#1, A#1, C#5, D#5, F#5, G#5 and A#5.
