I've been playing with pianoteq, which now has a version for linux,
which works very well. I was wondering what they mean in their
preferences by multicore rendering. Since this is a physical model, I
would think it is the worst possible case for parallel processing,
since internal calculations cannot be parallelized. Is what they do
simply spreading note instances across cores?

Cheers,
Andrés

There are two possible reasons IMHO:

1. Note-level multiprocessing
2. They are using a model that has parallel possibilities, and
I think there are some around.
