Unacquainted pianists seeking an alternative to their bulky sample-based instrument should check it out, too. If you're a long-time Pianoteq user, version 5 should put a smile on your face and serve to convince you that there's plenty of potential in the software still to be unlocked.
Any or all of the other instruments can be added later on, should you wish to buy them.

The Acoustic Pianos flavour comes with D4 and K2 grands Electric Pianos has R1 and W1 Rhodes/Wurly emulations and a CL1 Clavinet and Chromatic Percussion comes with Vibes and Xylo packs. Buy Pianoteq 7 Standard Virtual Piano Plug-In (Download) featuring Physically Modeled Virtual Piano, 3 Instrument Packs, Adjustable Physical Modeling, Morph and Layer Instruments, 5 Virtual Microphones, Effects and Convolution Reverb, Reproduces Sympathetic Resonances, Audio Units / VST / AAX / NKS Compatible, Mac OS X, Windows, Linux. You can choose which of these 'flavours' you'd like when you buy any version (Stage, Standard or Pro - the latter reviewed here). That said, one of the beauties of Pianoteq is that it doesn't just do straight-up acoustic pianos: it can sound decidedly quirky if you want it to, and it also models electric piano and chromatic percussion. Still, it all adds to the sense of realism. This is impressive technology, certainly, though you'll inevitably need some knowledge of how pianos are miked up in reality to get the most out of it. What's more, as well as being able to position mics, you can now rotate them in three dimensions, attach them together and control the polarity and proximity effect.
In fact, we now have an almost bewildering selection of options to choose from: 15 well-known mics are modelled, and you can choose from different polar patterns where applicable. Another area of the software that's felt the hand of the developers is the microphone section.
