#Pianoteq #Keyscape #VST
Greetings, and thank you for joining us at the Merriam Pianos YouTube channel! The newest edition in our series on VST’s, in this video we’ll be comparing the Keyscapes and Pianoteq 7 plugins.
These are very different plugins, but are more or less directed towards the same user; those looking for highly detailed sound and a plugin that can provide a wide range of keyboard instrument tones.

Background:
Keyscapes is available in one format as a full bundle, and runs about $400. Pianoteq is available in 3 different versions with different levels of detail and different price points. We’ll be looking at the middle, Standard version today.
How these two plugins produce sound is quite different. Pianoteq uses a modelling based engine, which uses a series of algorithms to generate tone, whereas Keyscapes works from a set of pre-recorded samples. While they arrive at their sound engines in a very different way, the range of available sounds is quite similar.
Acoustic Piano Sound:
Pianoteq offers their YC5 grand piano tone, which is based on a Yamaha C5X. Keyscapes’ main piano tone is a Yamaha C7X. Right off the top after playing them side by side, there’s a certain warmth radiating from the Keyscapes piano tone that isn’t present with the Pianoteq.
On the other hand, that added dynamic tonal range offered by Keyscapes is a bit exaggerated compared to what you would experience on a real grand piano.
When it comes to the level of control offered to the user, Pianoteq is the winner here since it’s using a modeling-based engine which means the user can edit the algorithm directly. In fact, there’s about 4x more control with Pianoteq, with super-specific parameters like mic placement, type of mics, stereo width, and sound speed.
Ultimately, Pianoteq allows for greater user control, but Keyscapes delivers a more authentic experience. What you prefer will likely come down to the type of project you’ll be using a VST for, as well as your own personal taste.
Electric Piano Sounds:
Starting with a Rhodes sound, again, like the grand pianos, Keyscapes delivers a fuller, richer Rhodes sound, at least without extensive tweaking within Pianoteq. Interestingly, it’s actually the imperfection that Keyscapes has captured that makes the Rhodes sound a truly compelling sample.
The same general observations apply when it comes to other sounds like Wurlitzer and Celesta as well.
Summary:
When it comes to acoustic pianos, what Pianoteq has been able to generate out of its Steinway B, D, Grotrain and C. Bechstein sounds is fantastic, with more depth and character than what we’re hearing out of the C7X from Keyscapes. That said, the warmth and detail Keyscapes is delivering with all of the other vintage instruments is nothing short of incredible.
For exposed solo playing, Pianoteq gets the W here, but for all of the E pianos and other tones, Keyscapes gets the nod. Two very different plugins, but we hope putting them side-by-side has been helpful.
