Topic: Pianoteq 6 discussion at Pianoworld
Hey, guys.
Is anybody following this ongoing discussion of Pianoteq 6 there? Here is the link: http://forum.pianoworld.com/ubbthreads....teq-6.html
I thought paying attention to critique provided there may benefit Modart and all of us, in the future. May be we should select some of those complaints and feedback and mention them all here? Feel free to reference any post you perceive as important.
Here are some from me:

This post seems very important to me: http://forum.pianoworld.com/ubbthreads....ost2676723 - as well as guy's named "karvala" answer to it: http://forum.pianoworld.com/ubbthreads....ost2676755
The karvala guy also provided a lot of detailed feedback about what he doesn't like in Ptq6, and in Ptq in general. Here are his other posts:

The other guy with detailed feedback is CyberGene. He claims he was a beta-tester for Ptq in the past (long ago), so it may be valuable:

The guy MacMacMac is also seem to be disgrunted:

In general, all negative critique may be summarized like this: "Pianoteq is unchallenged when it comes to playability and feel/response, but in terms of tone and authenticity it still leaves a lot to be desired, often sounding synthetic, though he definitely gets better and closer, with each release"
