![]() ![]() ![]() Its fully adjustable, bell-like ‘tine noise’ attack is more realistic than that of Pianoteq’s Vintage Tines MkI instrument, and the overall tone is clear, incisive and sustaining. Apart from the excessive amount of sustain-pedal noise featured in some presets (which can easily be turned off), this instrument sounds great. Modartt have now unleashed more Pianoteq instruments, the most recent being Vintage Tines MkII, a beautifully modelled electric piano seemingly based on the Rhodes MkII Stage 73. Over that time, the makers added an array of contemporary and historic models, expanding the instrumentation with harpsichords, electric keyboards, chromatic mallets and exotica such as celeste, cimbalom, tubular bells and carillon. The progress of Modartt’s intriguing Pianoteq virtual instrument has been well charted in these pages, starting with my evaluation in January 2007 and continuing through Robin Bigwood’s series of articles, which culminated in his very positive review of Pianoteq 5 in April 2015. ![]()
