I have owned dozens of synths and keyboards with nice (for a rompler) pianos. I have been a keyboardist/pianist for 35 years. The fact that it uses physical modeling instead of sampling is all the more impressive. The realism, the control, and just the amazing sound quality make this a critical add on to your sample collection. I like to set the age to about 10 years for a broken in piano sound. You can also adjust the age of the piano to make a new Steinway sound like a 100 year old saloon piano, or anything in between. For example, if a piano is too bright, you can go into the settings and adjust the simulated hardness of the hammers to produce a mellower tone. This plugin aside from having a gorgeous sound and many many different pianos to choose from offers you a level of control that is unprecedented, and yet still easy to use. I have always been dissatisfied with most piano plugins because they are too bright and tinny, especially Native Instruments. I am both a professional composer and a professional piano tuner, so I know pianos inside and out. Marching Percussion Accessories Shop By Categoryįirst of all, I am not your average reviewer.
