Modartt has released an updated version of its Pianoteq physically modeled piano instrument for macOS, Windows and Linux.

New in the version 6.1 update is a spatialization technique that aims to increase realism by bringing more air and presence to the instruments. Minor re-voicing has also been done on some instruments/presets.

Furthermore, new features are introduced along with support for the NKS (Native Kontrol Standard) extended plug-in format from Native Instruments.
