I can say that I am listening to Pianoteq 5 side by side with the Ivory II American Steinway D, a 45GB sample, and Pianoteq gets the edge. Nevertheless, I suggest you play Pianoteq 5 - not 4, 3, 2, or 1 - using a fine weighted 88-key controller, and run it through a quality audio card with good headphones. Then you're suggesting running the MIDI through the Roland JV-1080 which is also from the previous millennium. You're judging Pianoteq while using it with the K5000, a 1996 61-key MIDI keyboard that doesn't have weighted keys. Bravo!!!!We're on different planets, I guess. Give full credit to Moddart for getting the dynamics /expressivity so close though. Will make you forget Pianoteq real quick. On other hand Yamaha Disclavier and other similar designs are superb. One of my solutions - Record piano part with Pianoteq + K5000, then run resultant MIDI thru Galaxy Steinway, Bardstown Bosendorfer, JV 1080 etc. Shaman is right - Yamaha upright with 2 SDC will smoke Pianoteq easily. Sound? Sorry, but it is very cold and very boring. Pianoteq + very good MIDI controller ( I use K5000) - most convincing dynamic range and touch sensitivity ever.
