PIANOTEQ 5 PORTABLE DRIVER
PIANOTEQ 5 PORTABLE PRO

It depends on how good Pianoteq is at performing sample rate conversion, and how good the audio interface is at filtering each sample rate to produce the analog output signal. Without getting into the nitty gritty of sampling theory, it is TECHNICALLY possible for the fidelity to be better with Pianoteq generating audio at 24000, and then 'up sampling' to 96000, than it would be for Pianoteq to be up sampling only to 48000Hz.

Remember, Pianoteq is already limiting it's bandwidth to 24000/2 = 12kHz (the Nyquist rate, which you may have heard of), so NOTHING we can do after Pianoteq can restore frequencies greater than 12kHz. It is HIGHLY unlikely that an audio interface sample rate of 96000 would be any better than 48000.

I was thinking how great real pianos are - they just keep working.

Thanks - yes - all ok, and I even have power back. Unfortunately my audio interface doesn't support a sample rate of 24000 - I would have liked to have tried that too. Not too shabby, eh? I am using ASIO4ALL with the internal audio interface. This is of course with Pianoteq's internal sample rate set to the same as you - 24000. (I watched the CPU graph in Pianoteq, and it never produced the red CPU spikes, and I never heard any clicks) My netook has exactly the same CPU & clock speed as yours. (i.e 48000 samples/s instead of 96000).Д¤8000/256 seems to work fine for me, and I can even bump the polyphony up to 64 it seems.

The reason I asked about 48000/256 is because this would produce EXACTLY the same ASIO latency as 96000/512, and may also slightly improve performance, because Pianoteq would then be sending audio to the ASIO driver at half the rate. I also loved as the other banks (electric piano, clavinet, vibraphone, celesta, marimba, etc.) and therefore difficult to choose the two banks choose to buy (I still took 2 piano D4 K2 and basic).ДЇor the consolidated CPU, I have not tried with an old computer, or on projects loaded but with my i7 quad core (macmini 2012) no problem (buffer 128 or 256 samples / Fs 44.1 kHz).I think the only reason to use a higher sample rate for the audio interface than Pianoteq would be to further reduce latency, if the buffer size was already at the lowest setting. The icing on the cake because it is the function I'm looking for years and only 1 synth in the world (Ensoniq) moved record MIDI in background. Ca not look but it is controllable via MMC (or any MIDI controller via MIDI Learn), but mostly it records all incoming MIDI sequences in history (with the possibility to save MIDI file). The killer feature: the ability to age any model piano (Mint = fresh as a roach = Worn threadbare)ДЄs a bonus, the standalone version, a small MIDI recorder. The Stage version is affordable but is not a cheap version already delight many musicians (who are not necessarily technician / piano maker).

(1% is in quibble on the middle octave pedal off only in that on or simple staccato chords which sometimes sound a little harpsichord (ie plucked rather than struck strings), musicality and dynamic (not only testing the demos I have a good answer 10aine ideas): this is not an ordinary piano simulation but a real musical instrument.ДЇor features, everything is super well thought out (except maybe the choice of some keyboard shortcuts to switch banks or presets): MIDI Learn, management optional banks (installation, can hide the demos), integrated effects quality tweaking of any kind (for normal versions, but also for the Pro Training Version), numerous and functional factory preset.

Sound quality that now competes with sample banks already (I EW QL Pianos bank which still 175Go!), I tested the previous versions and I had not been totally convinced, musicality the quality of banks (not just acoustic piano) and features (see below) eventually seduce me.ДЄlthough still qq micro details that are not totally jokingly say that for me it verges on 99% of realism. Not a single bug (actually, there was one in which the AU version does not work internship with VEP5, and I have not even had time noticing that it was already set to 5.0.1 Bravo. This plugin is excellent, almost flawless. I tried this v5 this week and I fell for the Internship release.
