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.

Why preset names are not enough when you are looking for a sound
Preset libraries are full of evocative names, but they are a poor way to remember and rediscover the sound you actually need.
