MODARTT updates Pianoteq to v3.0.5 and releases YC5 Rock Piano add-on

Following the recent Electric Pianos and Vibes add-ons for Pianoteq 3, MODARTT has announced the release of the "Rock Piano" add-on, modelled from a famous Japanese modern grand piano. Pianoteq has also been updated to v3.0.5.

To meet a growing demand for a specific adapted pop/rock piano instrument, MODARTT designed a Rock piano add-on for use in Pianoteq 3. It is modelled from a modern grand piano produced by a famous Japanese piano manufacturer, frequently seen on stages and praised by touring artists for its musical qualities and reliability.

The Rock piano instrument YC5 comes with three variants: Stage, Chamber and Studio:

• YC5 Stage has a percussive and bright tone suitable for pop/rock mixes and also for dreamy solo ballads.
• YC5 Chamber has a coloured and singing tone, well adapted for solos that demand a full and rich timbre.
• YC5 Studio models a dry acoustic environment, achieving a particularly strong and close presence that is often appreciated in studio production.

Common to the other Pianoteq instruments, each variant is provided with several perspectives: mix recording, solo recording, close mic, player, ambience... They are based on Pianoteq's powerful physical model, developed to meet the requirements for all possible situations, from studio sessions to live performances.
