Pianoteq

Pianoteq is a proprietary, commercial virtual instrument plugin that features physically modelled piano and other instruments.

Installation

Nixpkgs contains different editions of Pianoteq under pianoteq package sets. Since the binary for purchased product can only be downloaded after logging into Modartt's website, you need to pass the credentials to nix environment variables.

Add the following to your system configuration:

❄︎ /etc/nixos/configuration.nix

{
  # Pass modartt credentials to nix environment variables to automatically download the binary
  nix.envVars = {
    NIX_MODARTT_USERNAME = "...";
    NIX_MODARTT_PASSWORD = "...";
  };

  environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [
    # ...

    # Pianoteq 8 Stage version
    pianoteq.stage_8

    # Pianoteq 8 Standard version
    pianoteq.standard_8
  ];
}

Trial versions can also be installed, which don't require Modartt credentials:

❄︎ /etc/nixos/configuration.nix

{
  environment.systemPackages = with pkgs; [
    # ...

    pianoteq.stage-trial_8
    pianoteq.standard-trial_8
  ];
}
