I'm very very glad you liked it. You will need sighted help getting it
licensed with your key, but once that is done, you're good to go.
Let me make a major suggestion though, just to save you some money in the
longrun. Don't get the full Pianoteq package. First of all, a lot of what
it can do can be done with a good recording DAW. Basically, what it gives
you are things like placing virtual microphones in the spectrom to give
different color tonements, and different frequency responses. You can set
virtual spacement, meaning, how much space on the spectrom between your
left/right channels, and where on the keyboard... which note... you want the
crossover to start, and how deep of a crossover slope you want. Things like
this. A lot of this could be done as well though with a good phasing plugin
within your DAW. ProTools has a few of these which are very good, and I'm
sure that Garageband, even in the older versions does as well. If nothing
else, though a bit pricy, check out some of the stuff both from isotope, or
from Waves. Both of which have plugs that could be used in GB that are
just! fan! Tastic! Anyway, getting back to Pianoteq... I'd personally just
go with Pianoteq Stage. You're only going to get basically one bank of
pianos with this version, if I understand correctly, but here's the other
thing... Unless you have someone prepare you already made presets, the main
plugin window isn't going to be the most accessible. It kind of is, but I
just don't know to what extent. If all you're wanting though is a decent
sounding grand piano, then Pianoteq Stage is probably most likely all you'll
need. It's not Synthogy Ivory by any means, nor is it my Roland RP401R
Rosewood digital piano by any means, but it definitely does get the job
done.

I just installed the pianoteq 5 demo on my mac. This ranks far above
Truepianos. The sound is fairly realistic and approaches that of an
acoustic piano. I’m considering buying it depending on the cost and the
potential hastle of getting it installed and configured. True pianos sounds
like a toy in comparison.
