Listening to their demos on that page, it sounds like a toy to me, and I mean on side-to-side listen, not going with memory. MetaPiano was made upon Spectral Modeling, a technique that provides realistic sounds since it's based on real samples and not hypothetical approaches like physical modeling. Spectral Engine 2.0 generates the sound every time you play it, making every note unique and irreplaceable since it's created on the fly. I would think Modartt’s model is more complex and accurate, but the concept is more or less the same.Ī custom-made algorithm disassembles the audios and extracts the main characteristics for each note and noise. I think the basic idea is similar- design your algorithm/model to match the recorded harmonic spectra of your chosen piano as closely as possible. I'm sure that Modartt are working on some great things, but it has been quite a long time now since the last update. However, one thing I do like about it is the crispness of the attack - I hope that the next update of Pianoteq will improve in this respect. Having listened to the samples of the Sampleson product, I wouldn't be tempted for 2 reasons:ġ) The classical examples sound rather clunky, with way too much 'thump' in the background.Ģ) I don't particularly care for the timbre of the piano. I'm not expert enough to understand all the differences, but it is a different approach. Apparently Sampleson's approach is 'Spectral modelling' as opposed to 'Physical modelling'. It's quite interesting but I don't think it's a serious rival to Pianoteq.
