That said the Karsten pack has a nice harpsichord (IMO) and the Ruckers sounds great.
MODARTT PIANOTEQ 5 STAGE UPGRADE
Have a bit of an experiment before spending - you can add them later. Modartt user forum » Pianoteq user forum » Im going to upgrade - 5 Stage to 7 Standard - Which Packs Forum administered by MODARTT S.A.S.

Harpsichords - keep in mind that the extra features of 7 (like layers and morphing) and the adjustments possible in Standard (compared to Stage) mean you may be able to make the harpsichord sound you want from the KiViR instruments. The Steinway B might be worth a look at for Jazz and Blues too as the base "bites" more to my ear. Some people like the U4 upright for this as well.

You could certainly use any of the modern pianos for Jazz and Blues, but the Bechstein 1899 also fits that well. One of them is a lovely Bechstein 1899 (actually a quite modern sound which I think everyone likes) and I have a personal preference for the Frenzel (which is a little modern with a little piano forte as well). If you are thinking of a new pack, I'd suggest looking at the Kremsegg 2 pack which has four historical instruments.
MODARTT PIANOTEQ 5 STAGE DOWNLOAD
The bells freebies did not change from 6.4 to 7, but a you're coming from 5 you will also need a fresh download of them for 7. The KiViR models require a new version downloaded (but are still free) and have been improved. * grand D4 becomes a New York Steinway D and a Hamburg Steinway D each with their own presets.īoth the K2 and D models are improved in many ways over previous versions.Īll of these models were depreciated before version 5 (IIRC) and while you can load them (from the legacy area of the user area downloads) they are simply not going to sound as well as current models (which doesn't stop you enjoying them if that works for you, I guess).
