I've downloaded fl studio but have no idea what to do as I have always used logic. If anyone has a dummy guide to how I go about doing any of this would be a big help? btw the images above at the start of the post are not viewable just says not viewable in my region.

Update: Think I more or less got it, but seems to be playing all the notes, that is both sets of notes not just the disabled notes. What did I miss?

VkDanilov released a full working Pianoteq Pro v8.3.1, if you want to use that instead.
I'll try to make a video on how to set up Pianoteq 9 in Patcher.

 

ahahahahah this is so cool. Thanks for tip, it works

 

Version 3 is now fully functional. Modartt Pianoteq v8.3.1 Rev.3 WiN-vkDanilov. This is what it looks like when everything works:

 

If anyone is interested in the cause of the problem

vkDanilov replied on the tracker: If the local is not Russian, then it flickered.

 

Yep, I'm glad we finally have Pianoteq 8 working, thanks to vkDanilov,
but I'm still using the Patcher method for Pianoteq 9, it's great to keep both.

 

Anyone know why the installer gets flagged by windows defender as a virus trojan classed serious? Windows 10 pro deletes the installer with a virus warning.

edit: Must be a false positive. I checked it on virus total and it all clear.

At last we have the full version of Pianoteq!

Don't forget to post that video you mentioned you may make, or anything really on how you do this. I would like to try your method with P9 but I'm not up to speed with FL studio, its new to me.

 

Your Defender is doing exactly what it's supposed to: protecting your system from unauthorized access.

Try updating your defender from the installed windows system:

Use Microsoft Defender's own update feature

In the Settings app, you can access a Windows security feature using this selection sequence: Start > Settings > Update & Security > Windows Security in Windows 10 or Start > Settings > Privacy & Security > Windows Security in Windows 11. There, you'll find a button labeled "Open Windows Security," as shown in Figure 1. Alternatively, you can open the app directly by typing "Windows Security" into the Start menu.

The Windows Security app contains numerous entries, including "Virus & Threat Protection," also shown in Figure 1. Clicking it will display an application window similar to Figure 2. Note the entry under "Virus & Threat Protection Updates" at the bottom. You can click the "Check for Updates" link at the bottom of the image to instruct Defender to check for updates. If any are available, they will be downloaded and installed.

Note that this download process runs in the background via Windows Update. I've seen it sometimes work when WU gets stuck on a specific update. However, sometimes updates fail to download, with WU stuck and not downloading anything at all. In such cases, there's another way to force-update Microsoft Defender, described in the following section.

Given the various methods for downloading Microsoft Defender signatures and executables, there's always a way to keep things up to date. I recommend letting Windows Update do things automatically whenever possible. If that doesn't work, try using the "Check for Updates" button in the Windows Security app. If that doesn't work, you can use PowerShell to update signatures (Update-MpSignature), visit the Defender installation image support page, or use the Microsoft Update Catalog for antimalware runtime components. Hopefully, you won't need to go that far, or not very often. But it's good to know there's another way if you need it.

My windows defender and windows 10 itself is fully up to date. I checked the program exe itself on virus total and only one flagged it as a virus. So I think its just a false positive.

 

Sorry, Google Translate mistranslated that. I translated your question using DeepL and can now give you the following answer. If you download something from the sister site, all downloads are virus-free. When downloading, unpacking, or installing something, disable Internet Security first, otherwise you'll get false alerts and/or your keygen will be corrupted.

 

Yes, I always check them through Virus total, If only one flags up then I'm prety sure its good. If something like 5 show up then I don't install it.

 

Dear @jonsmusic, please tell us a little more and tell us which program, including its full name, you checked.
Do they check the programs or the keygens?

I would be pleased if you could always name the program/software in question and also state your operating system (Windows or OC), then we can help you better.

 

I can crank it up to over 40 mins. Just keep tapping on that clock.

 

Where can I download it? I see a lot of links on Google, and I downloaded one from a site, but it seems to be missing the Kawais. Is there an "official" link?
