The fundamental advantage of this technology is that Pianoteq, compared to sampling-based virtual instruments, uses less disk space and is therefore perfect even for computers with average performance. The physical model behind the audio engine is the result of research by a team of academics from the Institute of Toulose mathematics (Modartt). What makes it interesting Pianoteq 6 compared to other virtual instruments is that the instruments have been physically modeled thus allowing a better simulation of the playability and real behavior of the acoustic instruments. What matters is obviously the tonal quality and therefore I attach some audio examples at the bottom of the article so that the reader can get an idea.

Personally I do not enter the debate with a straight leg as there are now many valid products on the market and personal aspects in the use of one or another software also weigh. On the one hand there are supporters of sampled libraries with multiple points of dynamics, on the other hand those who use physical model software. When you are talking about virtual instrument there are basically two schools of thought on the piano. The Pianoteq virtual instrument is now in its sixth version, available in VST, AAX and Audio unit and stand alone versions (PC, Mac and Linux) with a vast library of keyboard instruments for every audio production need.
