Is anyone aware of open source piano sound synthesis software? Something like Pianoteq, but open?


https://github.com/michele-perrone/OpenPiano

I don't think there are any useful plugin builds of it, though, even though it's built on Juce


Somewhat discouraging demo / issue: https://github.com/michele-perrone/OpenPiano/issues/3


The readme make it clear it's very much work in progress:

Right now, Open Piano sounds like a strangely out of tune piano with no soundboard and only one string per note.


> work in progress

In the euphemistic sense. In the literal sense, there are no commits for over a year.


I searched quite a bit a few month back and coulsn't find anything. I ended up buying a Pianoteq licence, having native Linux support convinced me.


If you mean physically modeled piano synthesis, then I'm unaware, but also very interested to know
