Pianoteq – True piano modelling

A company called Pianoteq has made a breakthrough in digital pianos — true piano modeling. This piano does not rely on samples; instead, it is a computer simulation of a piano. This has two advantages. First, it demands much less computer power than a large sample set. More intriguingly, it allows the full range of piano effects that samples cannot, including: open strings vibrating sympathetically, "catching" chords with a late pedal, "ghost" notes with sostenuto, half-pedaling, detuning of unisons, changing hammer hardness, changing inharmonicity, and so on.
