A Steinway D from Hamburg has served as reference and its main characteristics have been used for feeding the physical model. Each note has been carefully adjusted in its finest detail, just like in a real factory. The result is a stunningly vivid instrument created with the most demanding musician in mind.

Authorized by Steinway & Sons, the Steinway Model D grand piano is a virtual copy of a Steinway D from Hamburg, famous for its exquisite musical expression and being featured in numerous prominent recording studios and concert halls worldwide. Each note has been carefully adjusted in its finest detail, just like in a real factory. The result is a stunningly vivid instrument created with the most demanding musician in mind.

The audio demos below were created using the available presets in Pianoteq 6. No external instruments, effects or audio processing are applied unless noted. To achieve the best possible listening experience, we recommend that you use high quality headphones or loudspeakers with a volume similar to what you hear when standing next to an acoustic piano.

System Requirements
Requires Pianoteq 4.0 or Higher

  • Mac OS X 10.7 or later, Windows 7 or later, Linux (x86 and ARM)
  • Audio Units / VST / AAX / NKS compatible

Pianoteq 6 facilitates your workflow by adding compatibility with the VST3 format and the ARM architecture (Linux version only, for example on Raspberry Pi 3 boards). VST3 is the latest plug-in platform developed by Steinberg, and is supported by many audio hosts. Compatibility with the ARM architecture means that Pianoteq 6 can be used with RISC based CPU's used in smaller Linux based consumer electronic devices. Furthermore, since Pianoteq 6.1, the NKS (Native Kontrol Standard) extended plug-in format from Native Instruments is supported.
