Pianoteq Stage
Pianoteq Stage is a popular choice for the budget-minded musician. It is based on the award winning physical model, offered in Pianoteq Standard and PRO, praised by many musicians for its close intimacy and responsiveness.
Pianoteq Stage includes the same sounds and playability. All this for an unbeatable price.
The simpler interface in Pianoteq Stage is adapted for musicians who want the convenience of a selection of beautiful instruments for an immediate playing session. It is not for tweaking settings and parameters.

superior playability and expressiveness
excellent performance on modern laptops
small system footprint, less than 50 MB in size
installs and loads in seconds
Pianoteq Stage can at any time be upgraded to Pianoteq Standard or Pianoteq PRO to gain further sophisticated features, such as to tweak the physical model, to load Scala temperament files or to position virtual microphones around the instrument. With Pianoteq Stage, you are not locked to a certain product but have the option to upgrade whenever needed.
Pianoteq Stage supports all Pianoteq instruments, and if you upgrade to Pianoteq Standard or PRO, the instruments themselves upgrade automatically at no additional cost.
