Search Pianoteq presets by sound

Search Pianoteq presets by sound. Record into the mic, drop a sample, or pick a preset, and Presetti finds similar pianos and instruments, offline.

Windows now · macOS coming soon

Pianoteq presets are subtle: small changes in hammer hardness, mic position or tuning add up to a very different piano. Comparing them by name is almost impossible.

Presetti listens to your Pianoteq presets and lets you search them by sound. Play a reference into the mic, drop a recording, or pick a preset to find the closest ones.

Where Presetti finds your Pianoteq presets

You don't need to know where Pianoteq keeps its presets. Presetti looks for them on its own, and you can point it at any other folder.

  • The standard preset folders for Pianoteq on your computer
  • Built-in presets, when Pianoteq makes them available
  • Any extra folders you add, such as packs on another drive

Good to know

  • Tested with Pianoteq 6 as a VST2 plugin.
