PIANOTEQ 4 Stage is released

Formerly known as Pianoteq PLAY, Pianoteq STAGE is the new version for budget-minded musicians who prefer to focus entirely on playing rather than sound adaptation or studio recording.
Pianoteq STAGE offers the same refined physical model as in version 4 of the Standard and PRO version, including the new grand piano D4 where a Steinway D from Hamburg has served as reference.
