==Installation==
The demo version of Pianoteq is preinstalled on Zynthian SD images. If you purchase a license to a full version, you can install it directly on your Zynthian. This installation will be visible in your Modartt account as an activation.
# Download the Linux installer from your Modartt account.
#* This will be a 7zip (.7z) archive.
#* If your browser is set to auto-extract and delete downloaded archives, disable this setting before downloading.
# In webconf, navigate to Software > Pianoteq.
# Using "Upload Binary/PTQ", select and upload the .7z Pianoteq archive.
# After upload completes, provide your activation serial number as prompted.
# Reboot your Zynthian.
After installation, you will see the Pianoteq presets list divided into two sections: instruments you have activated appear first, followed by other instruments which you can still use with the same demo restrictions as before. When Pianoteq updates are available, you can upload the new binary by following the same procedure, without needing to re-activate.
===Installing Additional .PTQ Instruments===
If you use the KIViR instruments, or you have other .ptq instrument files, you can upload them using the same "Upload Binary/PTQ" button used for installing the binary. After installing new instruments, reboot your Zynthian.
===Installing .FXP Presets===
The simplest way to install Pianoteq presets (.fxp files) is to use the Pianoteq GUI. See [[Accessing Zynthian from your computer#Opening Synth Engine Native GUIs on your Computer|Opening Synth Engine Native GUIs on your Computer]] for connection details.
# Copy .FXP files to your Zynthian, either on a USB drive or over the network.
# Connect to your Zynthian using either X11 or VNC.
# Open Pianoteq, located at <code>/zynthian/zynthian-sw/pianoteq6/pianoteq</code>.
# Install the preset by clicking on the name of the current instrument, and selecting the "Load FXP File..." option.
# After installing presets, use the Software > Pianoteq > Update Presets feature in webconf.
# Reload any Pianoteq layers to access these presets in the Zynthian UI.
