the notes somehow build euphonically (fancy hi-fi tube-amp phraseology). I agree with Infinite 5ths about the overtones somehow lining up musically. Of course, the frosting will depend on the setting, but that's actually a real advantage in terms of flexibility. It's not as "polished" out of the box, which may initially turn off some, but add the right frosting and it's a winner in almost any setting. A well-conceived shootout of three hot contenders. mp3 files? I would find that fascinating. I wonder if someone with Akoustik or Ivory cold use you MIDI file to post similar. The muddiness you describe sounds sound familiar to my ear and I really enjoy it. It sounds more familiar to me than the other two. I just like it (an opinion of course) the best. That said, I have gravitated to the Art Vista. What I really enjoyed about this post is that it gave me an opurtunity to second guess myself and consider the good qualities of each instrument repeatedly. the timing seems the most crisp or something lke that (am I crazy? probably) Your playing seems to respond to the True Pianos resonances. At first I thought I prefered the True Piano's version and was willing to guess that's what you tracked the original take with. I changed my mind a few times and I could enjoy working with any of the tracks. It's great to get to hear the differences in each instruments timbre and acoustic setting.

I listened to Jen Liked for about a half hour with all three examples rotating thru. I'm interested in virtual pianos and it was great to get to compare them. The two songs are very different from each other and both are very short (2-3 minutes). I'd be very interested in knowing which versions people like.
#Mozart pianoteq 5 trial
I should point out I only have the trial version of Pianoteq, which means a couple of notes are missing, but they are on extreme ends of the piano and were rarely used in these songs. I actually think all three sound pretty good.

Personally, I'm not sure which versions I like best. So I put up a page with the two songs done not just with these two modeled pianos but with Art Vista's Virtual Grand Piano as well. I recently posted a couple of songs in the songs forum and a few people mentioned they were interested in hearing them as samples done with TruePianos, and that it would be cool to hear them with Pianoteq as well for comparison's sake. If you're considering getting either of these two piano synths (or Art Vista's Virtual Grand) you might be interested in this.
