Modartt has introduced a new add-on for its Pianoteq physically modelled virtual instrument - Rock Piano.

According to Modartt:

Rock Piano was developed to meet demands for a specific pop/rock piano, modelled from a famous Japanese grand piano, frequently seen on stages and very much appreciated by touring artists for its musical qualities and reliability. Its bright and vivid tone makes it addictive and cuts through elegantly in pop/rock oriented mixes.

The instrument comes with three variants: Stage, Chamber, Studio:

• YC5 Stage has a percussive and bright tone suitable for pop/rock mixes, and fits also very nicely to dreamy solo ballades.
• YC5 Chamber has a coloured and singing tone, well adapted for solos that demand a full and rich timbre.
• YC5 Studio is designed for achieving a particular strong and close presence, often appreciated in studio production.

Rock Piano is embedded as demo instrument in the latest Pianoteq update 3.0.5.
